Nevada’s senior U.S. Senator, Catherine Cortez-Mastos, posted this sweet note to social media recently. It included a picture of her grandfather, a legal immigrant from Mexico, and this note:
“When my grandfather came to America from Mexico, he didn’t know what our future had in store. But he worked hard, and now his granddaughter is the first Latina U.S. Senator.
“That’s the kind of opportunity that I’m fighting to make sure all our families can continue to reach for.”
If only every immigrant came to the United States the way her grandfather did. The reality, however, is we have a crisis at the Mexican border with thousands of people storming across illegally — day-in, day-out. Not just from Mexico but from around the world, some from sworn enemies of the United States. While Sen. Cortez-Mastos has been an attentive U.S. Senator for Nevada, she needs to part ways with the Biden Administration on immigration policy if she hopes to keep her family’s immigration legacy alive.
