Binghamton, NY -- With border security now the top issue in the race for New York's 19th Congressional District, the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) today announced it's endorsing Congressman Marc Molinaro. The NBPC represents 18,000 Border Patrol agents and support personnel assigned to the U.S. Border Patrol.
State of the race:
DC Insider Josh Riley is using paid advertisements to lie to voters about his work to open the border.
Now, because of Riley's open border advocacy, new stats show NY-19 is the epicenter of the opioid crisis in NY.
And a Peruvian gang leader, wanted for nearly two dozen murders, was just arrested in Endicott.
National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) President Paul Perez said, “Marc understands that open borders mean every state is a border state. Look no further than the recent arrest of a Peruvian gang leader in Endicott, NY – almost two thousand miles away from the U.S.-Mexico border. This individual – who is wanted for multiple murders – illegally crossed our border with Mexico earlier this year and was released into our country posing a major threat to public safety. The dangerous policies of the Biden-Harris Administration must end and we know Marc Molinaro will continue to fight for the safety and security of our country. Marc has our endorsement because he embraces a comprehensive approach to border security that includes more support for the men and women on the frontlines, building physical infrastructure and barriers, and deploying innovative border security technology. Please join the NBPC in fighting for border security and support Marc Molinaro for Congress.”
In an interview with WAMC radio, DC Insider Josh Riley said, "I mean who knows better than the border patrol union."
Congressman Molinaro said, "Voters aren't falling for Josh Riley's lies. As a DC Insider, he advanced an extreme agenda that opened our border to drugs, criminals, and put the lives of border patrol agents in jeopardy. This endorsement is vindication that the men and women who patrol our borders want me to keep fighting to stop open border activists like Josh Riley."
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.
Riley's Record:
Sued in the Supreme Court to dismantle Trump’s 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 the Working Families Party, which advocates for sanctuary city policies.
