"in congress, he voted to defund daca. he voted to get rid of the daca program." politifact says it's not that clear cut. hardy broke party ranks to vote against an amendment stripping the program of funding last ye but voted for the bill itself because it funded the department of homeland security. hardy was also one of a few dozen republicans to join democrats in passing a "clean" version of the funding bill without any immigration-related amendments. so is kihuen right? hardy's voting record is mixed, but he's generally voted in favor of funding the program. politifact rates this claim....half true.
