Marsha Blackburn slams Nashville mayor for being on wrong side of immigration debate

Published



Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) called out Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell for doing the opposite of “what the American people overwhelmingly voted for” regarding illegal immigration.

According to Blackburn, immigration is “one of those issues that is a 90% issue with the American people.”
