Rep. Thomas Massie’s weak immigration record in the 119th Congress has opened the door for President Donald Trump to challenge his grip on Kentucky’s GOP voters.
The libertarian-leaning Republican from Kentucky’s 4th District has long been a darling of conservatives for his fiscal restraint and defiance of the establishment. But his D+ grade from NumbersUSA, a group advocating for reduced immigration, exposes a vulnerability that Trump could exploit to fracture Massie’s base in the 2026 primary.
NumbersUSA grades lawmakers on votes that strengthen borders and prioritize American workers.
Massie’s D+ in the 119th Congress, down from a 93% score in 2022, reflects votes that clash with the immigration hawkishness of his district.
He opposed H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act, which would have mandated E-Verify to block illegal workers and tightened visa overstay penalties. Massie also voted against FY 2025 Budget Resolutions (H.R. 1 and H. Con. Res. 14), which included up to $200 billion for border walls, 10,000 new ICE officers, and more Border Patrol agents. more
Massie’s flipped his disco. He needs to go.
MASSIE IS ON A FOOL’S ERRAND, A DEAD MAN WALKING
BUT WHY IS LINDSEY GRAHAM STILL AROUND??
Massie seems very inconsistent on a lot of issues
they have something big on him
Not to defend Massie, but is it possible that the things he didn’t vote for are either already enforceable by EO and use of existing laws, or they are massive spending boondoggles which look impressive on paper but will end up being diluted and useless in practice, as well being redundant?
Why not defend Massie? This piling on is ridiculous, the guy has been on target for many issues and actually appears to read bills, plus he is about the only one that doesn’t have an AIPAC handler. As well about the only congress creature that puts American interests over those of Israel.
install illegal assholes in yo home, dindu
@VEEDONFLEECE…
I totally forgot about the AIPAC thing. Now their bought-and-paid-for smokescreen border legislation attack makes more sense.
He voted for a lot of crap during Biden’s admin, tho.
