**Disgraceful Partisanship: Michigan Democrat Claims Americans "Owe a Debt" to Illegal Immigrants**
In a stunning revelation that underscores the Democratic Party's troubling stance on immigration, Curtis Hertel Jr., a candidate for the U.S. House from Michigan, has declared that Americans “owe a debt” to illegal immigrants.
This shocking statement came to light during a recent meet-and-greet event in South Lyon, where Hertel expressed his belief that the risks taken by illegal immigrants warrant gratitude rather than strict immigration enforcement.
“I’ve said, for example, in the past that we should respect those that have tried to come here because even if they haven’t done it legally, we owe a debt,” Hertel said, adding that he has “no interest in deporting anybody.”
These comments highlight a concerning trend within the Democratic establishment—an ideology that endorses a lack of accountability for those who enter the country illegally, even as American citizens are facing numerous challenges, including a struggling economy and rising crime rates.
Hertel, who is running against Republican Tom Barrett in Michigan’s 7th Congressional District, has attempted to present himself as a moderate willing to collaborate with Republicans on immigration issues. Yet, his rhetoric raises serious questions about his commitment to border security and the rule of law.
Barrett reacted strongly, calling out Hertel's hypocrisy. On social media, he asserted, "On TV @CurtisHertelJr says he will stand up to his party and secure the border, but in private he says we owe a debt to illegal immigrants and will not deport anyone!"
This sharp divide encapsulates the broader battle for control in Washington. As President Biden’s administration continues to face criticism over its handling of immigration, candidates like Hertel seem to be doubling down on policies that many Americans find unacceptable.
Tim Murtaugh, a senior adviser to Donald Trump's campaign, echoed these sentiments, stating that Hertel’s comments were "disqualifying for anyone running for Congress." He emphasized the importance of electing representatives like Barrett, who are committed to addressing the pressing issues of today—namely, securing the southern border and revitalizing the American economy.
With the upcoming election on November 5, the stakes could not be higher in this crucial swing district. As voters prepare to head to the polls, they should consider whether they want a representative who stands with the American people or one who prioritizes the interests of those who disregard our laws.
