Michigan legislative action thread

Michigan GOP U.S. Senate nominee Terri Lynn Land called for the federal government to secure the U.S. border with Mexico and slammed President Barack Obama for failing to properly deal with Islamic State (ISIS) terrorists during an editorial board event with local news outlet MLive.com on Monday.
“I’m a mom, I have two kids, and I’ll tell you it hurts my heart with these children who have come across this border,” Land said when asked about immigration reform and whether the U.S. government should allow illegal aliens to stay in the U.S.
“President Obama has basically told them they could come here illegally,” Land said of the children who illegally crossed the border as part of the border crisis. “He needs to let them know that that’s not the way it works here. We need to get these children back to their parents and we need to put as much resources and time [as necessary] into making sure that happens. Now if some of these children are here under refugee status they’re welcome to go through that process and we should make sure that happens, but we need to get these children back to their parents.”
Land also called for the border to be secured.
“I support securing the border,” she said. “I think it’s important that U.S. Border Patrol has the resources it needs for Border Patrol agents. We need to give them the highest tech equipment that they need in order to secure the border and we need to work on the fence at the border. So I think if we take all these things together we can have a secure border.”

The ad included in the story is a good one.
I’m a mom too. And I don’t care about those kids coming across the border illegally because I love my kids and the illegals are a threat.
It’s Alive! Terri finally speaks!
I made a small (what we could afford) contribution to her campaign when I heard the NRSC was pulling out. I’m not sure I trust the NRSC’s explanation for their pull-out.
I don’t see how peters could SURVIVE that damage that ad is going to do!
I think the NRSC is afraid of her being a boat rocker more than anything.
I think they’re noticing the Independents are breaking for her, can’t have THAT....
KEEP SLAMMING!!!!
tomos going to be deported after his prison term is over...
will peters drive em to the aitrport I wonder?
Nor should you probably. They're pulling out because Land is down by 10 points and there are other, winnable races that could use the money.
Show us the polls.
these people are all marion berry material
C O R R E C T
Those illegals should be told that every single thing they expect and GET in America, was TAKEN FROM SOMEONE ELSE WHO WORKED FOR IT!
Those illegals should be told that the President is a thief and a liar and that THEY are accomplices to HIS crimes!
LOL remember when the polls all says Kerry by a landslide.
Sorry but I don’t see anything there that says I should feel any different and I damn sure don’t see any reason I should pay any attention to an election season troll from Missouri.
Ignorance is bliss.
“...They’re pulling out because Land is down by 10 points and there are other, winnable races that could use the money.”

Perhaps, but why would they lie if that’s their real reason? Yes, I know the NRSC is accustomed to lying. But the NRSC and the GOPe have a history of minimally supporting true conservative candidates while going “all in” for more “progressive” candidates.
