Molinaro Calls For Deportation Of Illegals With Criminal Records After Venezuelan Gang Members Arrested In Rensselaer County

Rensselaer County, NY -- Congressman Marc Molinaro released the following statement: 


"Two illegal immigrants from Venezuela, members of a violent gang and responsible for a savage murder, were just caught right here in Rensselaer County. This is what happens with Josh Riley’s open-border agenda -- criminals pour into our country and terrorize our communities. Riley would rather appease radical leftists than stand up for law-abiding Americans. I’ll put an end to the chaos at our southern border, put Upstate New Yorkers first, and deport dangerous criminals."


Background: 


Josh Riley's Record:

  • Sued 32 times in the Supreme Court to dismantle border security policies.

  • Worked with Secretary Mayorkas to fight common sense border policies.

  • Wrote a bill for disgraced Senator Al Franken that gives amnesty & benefits to millions of illegal immigrants.

  • Supports Governor Kathy Hochul and Working Families Party, which advocates for keeping sanctuary city policies.

  • Would support the Working Family Party's effort to extend the right to vote to illegal immigrants.


Marc's Record:

  • Voted to pass the Secure the Border Act in May 2023. The bill closes the border and streamlines the asylum seeking process, but has languished in the Democrat-controlled Senate.

  • Authored and passed Schools Not Shelters Act, preventing Gov. Hochul from using schools as migrant shelters.

  • Teamed with Democrat Congressman Pat Ryan to request the Biden-Harris Administration declare a federal emergency to address the border crisis. The request was denied by the White House.

  • Cosponsored Democrat Congressman Chris Pappas's bill to secure the northern border.
