Representative Mike Collins, a Republican from Georgia, has launched a strong criticism of Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff and the Democratic Party regarding immigration policy and border security. Collins expressed deep frustration with the federal government’s handling of illegal immigration, specifically referencing the murder of Laken Riley.

Immigration Policy Concerns

Collins argued that current administration policies have allowed dangerous individuals, previously apprehended, to be released back into the public. He emphasized that his legislative efforts, including advocating for Dalilah’s Law, are motivated by preventing future tragedies.

Dalilah’s Law

Dalilah’s Law is a proposed bill that would prohibit illegal immigrants from obtaining Commercial Driver’s Licenses (CDL) in the United States. Collins believes this legislation is a crucial step in enhancing public safety.

Criticism of Democratic Leadership

Collins questioned the priorities of Democratic leadership, asserting their refusal to address border security demonstrates a lack of concern for American citizens. He suggested that permissive policies are a calculated effort to expand the Democratic voting base.

He claimed the party facilitates housing, transportation, and sustenance for illegal migrants to secure future political support, indicating a detachment from the needs of average voters. Collins specifically named Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar, alongside Senator Ossoff, as obstacles to national security and values.

Senate Campaign Momentum

Looking ahead, Collins framed the upcoming Senate election as a crucial opportunity to replace ineffective leadership with someone committed to national integrity. He is the Republican frontrunner in the primary scheduled for May 19.

Fundraising Success

Collins highlighted his recent fundraising success as evidence of shifting public sentiment. He raised over $1 million in the first quarter of 2026, outperforming primary challengers Derek Dooley and Buddy Carter. He expressed confidence in potentially securing a primary victory without a runoff.
