Tudor Dixon: Housing migrant children supports criminal cartels

Dixon criticized Whitmer for allowing the federal government to temporarily house unaccompanied migrant children at a facility in Albion. Starr Commonwealth opened a shelter for children at the request of the federal government. Dixon blamed Whitmer for the arrangement and said it means she supports criminal cartels. "Gretchen Whitmer supports the abuse of children at our southern border," Dixon said.

Tudor Dixon: Implement a statewide ban on sanctuary cities
