I am sick and tired of Congressman Collins pandering to the “evil aliens “ crowd. Too bad the Mohawk Indians didn’t push his Irish, Scotch , Italian or whatever immigrants out when they arrived. Republicans have blocked a pathway to citizenship for our neighbors without papers and it’s time to solve the issue and not exploiting it.
