For Mazi Pilip’s campaign to suggest that Tom Suozzi is responsible (Newsday) for the crisis we’ve endured for decades at our Southern border is laughable. Suozzi’s immigration plan contains explicit proposals for a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers and a realistic way to pay for increased controls at the border, with monies to aid Central American countries to stem the flow of out-migration.
Pilip, the Republican candidate for the Third Congressional District, has no plan and refuses to attend debates where she would be welcome to discuss her views with the former Democratic congressman, who she opposes.
If you know Tom Suozzi, you’ve had the experience of genuinely being listened to. His legislative record in Nassau and Congress boasts better healthcare for our veterans, common sense gun-safety laws to keep lethal weapons away from dangerous people, reduced costs of insulin, and almost 500% increased funding for the Long Island Sound.
The proud son of an Italian immigrant, Tom knows the value every American brings to the community.
In 2019 when petitioned to do something about the Immigration crisis by his constituents, he spoke eloquently about his family’s immigrant roots on the House floor. With Republican friend, Long Island legislator Peter King, he proposed a blueprint for legislation to protect our borders and ensure a humane approach to legal immigration.
Vote early, Feb. 3-11, or on Election Day, Feb.13. Be part of this historical moment when we mark the ballot for Tom Suozzi, for Democracy and against a congressional House paralyzed by “petty, partisan finger-pointing politics.”
