Republican State Sen. Dan Zumbach was the only Republican in the chamber who voted against the bill making E-Verify mandatory last week. But you’d never know it by reading his weekly newsletter. In fact, you might think opposite.
Zumbach wrote:
“We also had two of our U.S. Congress members stop by and share with us what is happening at the Capitol in Washington DC. Congresswoman Ashley Hinson and Congressman Randy Feenstra spent time with legislators sharing about the tragedy of illegal immigrants invading the southern border of the United States. This situation is dire and needs to be brought under control. We all need to encourage and pray for President Biden to end this crisis.”
No mention, however, of how Zumbach believes the situation can be brought under control. And no mention of the fact that the one bill to pass the Senate making an effort to get the situation under control was opposed by him.
Zumbach ran for Iowa Secretary of Agriculture in 2018. One of his opponents in 2018, Craig Lang, employed the illegal immigrant who killed Mollie Tibbetts.
