Tenney misleads public about undocumented immigrants to spread fear, division

Editor:

Congresswoman Claudia Tenney is purposely spreading false information about the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) proposed Secure Docket Cards. The cards are provided to undocumented immigrants after they have passed secure background checks and are to be used by DHS agents.

The purpose of the cards is to increase efficiency of the immigration system. I repeat, the cards are provided to undocumented immigrants if you have one of these cards you are an undocumented immigrants and therefore cannot be used as identification for voting.

Ms. Tenney knows this. Beyond this disinformation (deliberately intended to mislead and intentionally mis-stating facts), there is no evidence that voting by non-citizens has ever been a major issue; Ms. Tenney knows this as well.

Spreading mis-information is all that Ms. Tenney has to show for her time in office. Ms. Tenney voted against the Infrastructure Act (H.R. 3684) and the CHIPS and Science Act (4346), which creates jobs in Western New York.

Ms. Tenney voted against lower the cost of insulin and medicine (H.R. 5376), which will benefit her constituents. Ms. Tenney also voted against the PACT Act (H.R. 3967), which will benefit veterans who defended this country.

Purposely spreading mis-information to create fear and divisions is what Ms. Tenney thinks will win her votes. It is obvious that voting for her is a vote against the interest of citizens of Western New York.
