Jim Costa Protects Criminal Illegals Who Assault Police Dogs

Another day, another vote where Jim Costa put illegal immigrants ahead of public safety, this time voting AGAINST a bill to punish violent criminal illegal immigrants who injure or kill federal working dogs.

These dogs track criminals, detect explosives, and protect law enforcement in the most dangerous situations. When they’re attacked, it’s while defending American lives. Yet Jim Costa chose to side with illegal immigrants who commit these violent acts instead of standing with law enforcement and the animals that protect them.

“Jim Costa couldn’t even bring himself to punish illegal immigrants who attack law enforcement dogs. These animals put their lives on the line to protect Americans, and Jim Costa sided with the criminals who harm them. It’s indefensible.”– NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez  

Background:

• Today, the NRCC released a digital ad highlighting Jim Costa’s history of putting illegal immigrants first and Americans last.
• Just yesterday, Jim Costa again refused to stand up for Americans by voting AGAINST the Deporting Fraudsters Act, which would punish illegal immigrants who abuse or defraud taxpayer-funded programs like Social Security and Medicare.
