As their contentious race for Congress enters the final couple of weeks, Rep. Marc Molinaro and his Democratic challenger Josh Riley are still going at it over the issue of immigration in their race to represent New York’s 19th Congressional District.

Molinaro, a Republican, signed on to co-sponsor a bill this week that would prevent a U.S. Department of Homeland Security program used by FEMA from using any funds on transporting and housing migrants. Instead, the bill would divert money earmarked for those purposes to be spent on disaster relief.

“It’s about priorities," Molinaro said, adding Riley had backed the programs used to support migrants.

Daniel Fleiss, Riley's campaign manager, responded by saying that instead of voting for a bill to secure the border, Molinaro was playing politics with the issue.

The legislation comes as Molinaro fights to keep his Hudson Valley House seat in a competitive race with Riley. The pair have made personal attacks about their rhetoric and positions to achieve bipartisan immigration reform a fixture of their campaigns.
