A National Border Patrol union member wrote the Reporter congratulating Congresswoman Suzan DelBene for sponsoring a bill that supported border protection (Jan. 2).

One can only wonder if Michael Cox is at all familiar with her voting record providing consistent legislative votes for legalizing millions per year of illegal immigration and pushing non-enforcement of any laws that discourage it. It is a record that earns her an “F” by NumbersUSA, and makes clear that the bill Cox lauds was more of a political “appearance” measure than a substantive one.

The 1st District recognition should be for her consistent voting record and not for one that just made an appearance of being for border protection and control.
