Michigan Deserves Better
Out of touch Democrat Kristen McDonald Rivet is upset because her dangerous open-border record is being called out.
An illegal immigrant who entered the United States under Joe Biden carried out a terrorist attack on U.S. soil targeting Jewish community members with firebombs.
Democrat Kristen McDonald Rivet:
- Voted AGAINST the largest investment in border security in a generation which included, in part:
- $46.5 billion to complete the border barrier system
- $45 billion to expand ICE detention capacity
- $2.7 billion for border surveillance technology
- $500 million to reimplement Remain in Mexico
In Michigan’s State Senate, McDonald Rivet:
- Voted AGAINST an amendment to block funds from being used to provide legal assistance to illegal immigrants.
- Failed to support an amendment that would have banned sanctuary cities in Michigan.
- Voted AGAINST an amendment that would increase penalties related to the creation, manufacturing, delivery or possession of fentanyl.
“Actions speak louder than words and out of touch Democrat Kristen McDonald Rivet’s actions have made Michiganders and America as a whole less safe. The people of Michigan deserve better.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon

Following a shocking terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado, carried out by an illegal immigrant, the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) wasted no time holding vulnerable House Democrats accountable for their reckless open-border policies. The NRCC issued scathing press releases targeting lawmakers, including Kristen McDonald Rivet (MI-08) and Greg Landsman (OH-01), highlighting their consistent support for former President Joe Biden’s border agenda. Rather than taking responsibility for their votes, both Democrats took to social media to complain about being called out.

The terrorist attack on Sunday, carried out by an illegal immigrant who entered the country under the Biden administration and targeted members of the Jewish community with firebombs, is a tragic and foreseeable consequence of the Democratic Party’s extreme open-border agenda.
Rivet quickly fired back at Republicans, calling their rhetoric ‘shameful, baseless, and offensive,’ and claiming it only fuels the nation’s growing tensions rather than easing them.

Rivet also voted against an amendment to ban sanctuary cities in Michigan and opposed another measure that would have increased penalties for crimes related to the creation, manufacture, delivery, or possession of fentanyl.
