(Opinion) Representative Janelle Bynum is another Democrat who is out of touch with the people and Border Patrol. Rep. Bynum doesn’t seem to want to help with the recovery from the prior administrations disastrous border policies. She would rather interject race, complain and oppose a law that would help Border Patrol Officers.

If we are willing to prosecute, sentence, and deport people who come here illegally, then they are less likely to do it again. Image that! Heck, if we are willing to prosecute all crimes committed the message would get out. But who am I kidding, that is not what Bynum ran on.
She is a progressive and opposed House Resolution 35 which is a bill that was named after Border Patrol agent Raul Gonzalez, who lost his life in the line of duty. The bill will make it a ‘federal crime to try to evade law enforcement within 100 miles of the border’.

Bynum tried to convince her colleagues to vote against the resolution but that did not bode well for her.
“I urge my colleagues to oppose H.R. 35. Let’s call this bill what it is: fearmongering dressed up as officer safety,” Rep. Janelle Bynum, D-Ore., said last week about the bill named after late Border Patrol Agent Raul Gonzalez, who died in a pursuit in 2022.
House Resolution 35 would make individuals convicted of “intentionally fleeing” law enforcement in a vehicle subject to up to two years in prison and fines. If the police chase results in a death, the individual could face up to life imprisonment under the legislation, and potentially face deportation if the person involved is in the country illegally.
“This bill echoes one of the darkest chapters in our nation’s history, ‘The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850.’ Just like that shameful law, H.R. 35 forces local authorities and encourages the deputizing of randos to do the federal government’s work, punishing them if they refuse. Back then, it was hunting people down who dared to seek freedom. Today, it’s forcing local police to become federal enforcers,” she continued in her House floor speech.
Regardless, the bill passed 264-155, with 50 Democrats voting in favor, including a handful in border states.”
That’s right, the bill passed and had the support of 50 Democrats. I call that the President Trump effect! We deserve a safe and secure border. We don’t want to people with bad intentions to be let into our country.
America has not survived for almost 250 years by letting illegals run rampant all over. Radical progressives like Bynum must be voted out of office every time we get a chance or we will not have a country.
