Cotton Statement on Illegal Alien Drunk Driving Crash
Washington, D.C.— Today, Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) released the following statement on the fatal accident in Avoca, Arkansas, allegedly caused by an illegal alien:
“The tragic deaths of Freda and Michael Cordes should have never happened, and my prayers are with their family and friends. I’m grateful for the quick work of Arkansas State Police in bringing this illegal alien criminal to face justice. The Department of Homeland Security deports violent illegal aliens just like this man to protect innocent Americans—Democrats in Washington must stop their political crusade, fund the department, and put the safety of Americans first.”
