I take issue with the recent criticism of Congressman Devin Nunes. I don’t always agree with Rep. Nunes but no matter what he does – he is 10 times better than Sen. Kamala Harris.

The esteemed Harris introduced the “Access to Counsel Act.” This bill provides legal assistance to immigrants in jeopardy of being deported. Why should my tax dollars be used to help illegals escape deportation? It appears to me Harris is more concerned with representing non-citizens than Valley constituents.
