Sen. Bob Casey in Pennsylvania Debate: U.S. Should Open Its Borders Instead of ‘Demonizing Immigrants’Bradley Jaye 16 Oct 2024
Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) believes the solution to the border crisis is to open the floodgates by passing the Senate’s pro-migration border bill, he said in a Tuesday night debate with Republican Dave McCormick.
Casey and McCormick spent several minutes of the heated debate sparring over immigration and border security, with Casey — and one of the moderators — spending time deriding Republicans for alleged anti-immigrant rhetoric instead of discussing policies.
McCormick’s numbers surged throughout the summer, and the race is now deadlocked with McCormick trending as early voting has begun in the commonwealth.
Casey touted the failed Senate bill, implying the bill’s passage would serve as a symbol of goodwill that would enable reforms down the road.
“The worst thing we can do is spend, have politicians spend time demonizing immigrants,” adding “the beginning of solving this problem is passing this bipartisan bill.”
That bipartisan bill, which was crafted by Republican Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) and a host of Democrat senators, was a part of a scheme engineered by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to provide senators cover to vote for tens of billions in Ukraine aid.
