NO RELATION, BUT GOOD FOR HER: Governor Reynolds Signs Texas-Style Immigration Law. “Republican Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds is following the path forward on illegal immigration blazed by the Republican governor of Texas. She signed a law that she said would allow Iowa to enforce immigration laws that already exist. Senate File 2340 passed in the state Senate by a vote of 34-16. It passed in the state House by 64-30 last month. It is now a crime for a person to be in Iowa illegally or as an illegal immigrant who previously has been deported. . . .

Just as Biden’s top job is to protect the homeland and American citizens, it is the top job of governors to protect their states and their residents.”
