Tom Suozzi Calls For An ‘Ellis Island’ At The Southern Border
Former Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-Glen Cove) has said that there is a simple, bipartisan solution to the migrant crisis: build an Ellis Island-type facility at the border.
Speaking to reporters on the campaign trail for the Feb. 13 special election in NY03, Suozzi highlighted his past work with Republicans – specifically former Rep. Peter King (R-Seaford) – on this issue. The pair had wrote an Op-Ed on the matter back in 2019 when they both held office, though Suozzi acknowledged that King is supporting his opponent, Nassau County Legislator Mazi Melesa Pilip (R-Great Neck).
