Golden’s garbage record on immigration

Maine is experiencing an influx of asylum seekers as the crisis on our southern border continues to worsen, but instead of taking action, Jared Golden and the socialist Democrats have refused to properly fund the nation’s border security.

Golden’s weak record on immigration echoes what he did in the Maine state house where he was a rubber stamp for the left’s radical initiatives.

NRCC Comment: “Jared Golden’s refusal to back border security funding has repeatedly put Maine residents at risk and voters deserve better.” – NRCC Spokesman Michael McAdams
