Congresswoman Ansari speaking at Hands Off Arizona protest; Harrigan later disputed Ansari's claims and criticized her perceived ignorance. He wrote, "A Member of Congress who brags she had to ‘Google’ the word constituent has no business writing laws." Harrigan said, "Constituents are hardworking American citizens, the people who elect you. Not illegal aliens. Not asylum shoppers." He added, "When you say ‘I don’t care if they can’t vote for me,’ you admit it. You don’t represent Americans, you represent everyone but them."
