How Valadao Broke His Promise On Immigration

David Valadao says he served the interests of the Central Valley. Since when was it ever in the Valley’s interests to separate families and destroy innocent lives and livelihoods?

Valadao has been awfully silent around the issue of family separation and the indecency of this violation of our shared humanity. How can Valadao sit around doing nothing while children suffer? These are innocent, young children who don’t know any better, and we’re treating them like criminals. David Valadao broke his promise on immigration the moment he turned his back on this humanitarian crisis.

Personally, I had no control over where I was brought up, but I am here now and I am a proud Central Valley resident — though the President and Republicans in Congress don’t see me as such. What scares me the most is I am no different than these kids who are being traumatized and torn away from their families. The fear that these children must be living with is unbearable, and anyone who doesn’t speak out against it effectively supports it, and that is why I feel the strong need to call out our ex-congressman David Valadao.

To make matters worse, when Valadao was in Congress, he voted 21 times against even letting the DREAM Act come to the House Floor. He has broken his promise on immigration and should never be trusted with public office ever again.

Say no to broken promises. Say no to Valadao.
