Catherine Cortez Masto

senator because my grandfather came from Chihuahua, Mexico.

And then he served in the U.S.

Army and became a U.S.

citizen.

Now, why should my story be any different than any other person who comes to this country and wants the same opportunities for their kids and their grandchildren?

That's what this is about.

But when the Trump administration and Stephen Miller decide that all immigrants are horrific and they're rapists and they're killers and we don't want any immigrant here, that is wrong.

And it goes against our laws in this country and who we are.

And to me, this is a failing on Congress.

This is a failing on my Republican colleagues who refuse to come to the table and work with us to address this and instead would rather play politics with this to win elections.

Yeah, you're right.

I have been working as part of what we call the mod squad, moderate senators, to ensure that the states that we come from, which are swing states like Nevada, where there is a diverse group of people living there, including in terms of party affiliation, Democrats, Republicans, nonpartisans in equal numbers.

These are the individuals that are going to make the difference in whether or not Democrats are going to be in control of the Senate.

That's how we win the Senate back.

And if we are going to appeal to them and talk to them and listen to them, we have to understand what they care about.

And the polling that you're referring to is a polling of just those swing states and who those voters are.

And you're absolutely right.

They want safe communities.

But they also are demanding what they are seeing with ICE.

They don't like the overexcessive abuse of ICE.
