Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger, a lieutenant colonel in the Air National Guard, is back from a two-week deployment flying surveillance missions over the Arizona border, and the experience shored up his support for President Donald Trump’s national emergency declaration.
“I went down there kind of undecided,” Kinzinger said on CBS’ “Face the Nation” Sunday.
“I think if this was just an issue of immigration it wouldn’t constitute a national emergency, but what I saw was really disturbing,” he said, adding that he would not vote to try to block the president’s national emergency declaration.
Some lawmakers have called the president’s move unconstitutional, as it bypasses Congress’ power of the purse. Kinzinger, though, does not agree with that assessment.
“Look, I wish this would have happened a different way,” he said. “I voted for comprehensive immigration reform. I think Republicans, the Democrat, both have good ideas on immigration.”
Kinzinger, who pilots the RC-26 intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft, said he tackled the mission from an apolitical point of view when he traded his flag pin for his flight cap.

I don’t care about your flight wings or your silly and misleading charts and graphs.
The American people gave you an order as a condition of your future employment.
Secure the Fucking Border. If you are reluctant or squeamish about your assignment we can find a patriot to replace you. Stat.
I am so sick of lilly livered panty waists that talk macho former combat military but melt like snowcones on an August afternoon.
Mandatory class trip to the border for the Congress kids!
And then send them to an abortion clinic where a 3rd trimester abortion is happening. Don’t worry about privacy, they can put blinders on the mother’s head.
MJA, right on both counts! Nothing like reality to change their cartoon world thinking.
It’s getting tiresome for these congressional lumps to pretend to not know what they know. They have access to intel at the highest level, umpteen hrgs w/Border Patrol and ICE officials, and there’s ample reporting and videos of the continual invasion.
Start investigating politicians on this side of the border who’re on the cartel’s payroll.
Another Lackey for the Chamber of Commerce / Democrat in military camouflage. His middle name is amnesty.
These GOP rats should be chained naked to a post at the border, with a 55 gallon drum of KY Jelly stationed nearby.
Then let them come back and vote.

AMERICAN REQUIREMENTS:
Break the law by jumping over the border fence, and make your way to the local immigration office for legal protection, do nothing else.
These new congressmen and women in the GOP better get their heads on straight and stop worrying about getting leaned on by the senior GOPe-ers. We put them in and we can vote them out.
