No One Buys This.

In a desperate attempt to bury his disastrous record on illegal immigration, Gabe Vasquez dropped an empty resolution trying to shift blame to House Republicans for the Biden administration’s border crisis.

Apparently, Vasquez saw that 94 percent of Americans say illegal immigration is a problem and is now frantically trying to change his tune. But his record is clear:

•  Vasquez actually advocated for defunding ICE and CBP and shutting down ICE facilities altogether.
•  He rejected that there was even a border crisis and accused Republicans of wanting “to make [the border] a political issue.”
•  And he has repeatedly voted against multiple border security policies introduced by House Republicans.

“Gabe Vasquez’s attempt to shift the blame for the border crisis caused by his party’s open-borders agenda – that he has fully supported – is as disingenuous as it is meaningless,” said CLF Regional Press Secretary Maureen O’Toole. “House Republicans have consistently put forth tough border security measures to fix this crisis, but Vasquez votes against them time and time again. New Mexico voters are smart enough to see through Gabe Vasquez’s desperate attempt to rewrite history here.”
