Gabe Vasquez is Anti-Border Security

Gabe Vasquez is once again railing against commonsense border security efforts, showing just how out of touch he is with New Mexicans.

Vasquez called President Trump's move to secure federal land that runs along the border from California to New Mexico, "misguided and wasteful" as well as a "made-for-TV stunt."

"Democrat Gabe Vasquez is an out of touch extremist who continues to oppose commonsense border security. Vasquez's open-border record is dangerous and unforgivable." - NRCC spokesman Zach Bannon

Vasquez once again sides with criminal aliens in latest move

U.S. Rep. Gabe Vasquez (D-NM), a far-leftist in Congress, is once again attacking commonsense border protections-this time railing against President Donald Trump's directive to establish a military buffer zone along the U.S.-Mexico border from California through New Mexico.

In a statement issued Monday, Vasquez called the strategic deployment of military assets to secure the Roosevelt Reservation-a federally controlled strip of land 60 feet wide running the length of the border from California to New Mexico-"misguided and wasteful," dismissing the President's action as a "made-for-TV stunt." His full-throated opposition comes even as his own district, located in New Mexico's Second Congressional District, includes numerous border communities grappling daily with illegal crossings, drug smuggling, and human trafficking.

Despite these serious threats, Vasquez continues to undermine efforts to restore control at the border. He bizarrely claimed that Trump's move comes "during a record time of low crossing numbers" - thanks to the President's actions to protect the homeland, unlike his predecessor, Joe Biden.

Vasquez's hostility toward border security is nothing new. He has consistently taken fringe positions aligned with open-borders activists. On his official Twitter account, Vasquez denounced the border wall as "racist" and called for it to be "torn down," declaring: "Let's tear it down. The wall is not only ineffective and costly-it is a symbol of hate. It's time for a new approach rooted in compassion and real solutions."

[…]

Vasquez's open-borders language and continued embrace of policies that weaken U.S. sovereignty paint a troubling picture. At a time when border communities are overwhelmed, and national security threats loom large, Vasquez appears more concerned with political theater and virtue signaling than with protecting his own constituents. His repeated rejection of efforts to strengthen America's borders not only puts New Mexicans at risk-it betrays the very oath he took as a member of Congress.
