Vasquez invites bomb maker to NM-02

A Palestinian man who was convicted in Israel of making a bomb and served 20 months in Israeli prison was just arrested at the NM-02 border.

On the Las Cruces City Council, Gabe Vasquez tried to make it harder for local New Mexico police to coordinate on security along the southern border. He’s also called border security a “racist, environmentally destructive, massive waste of money” and “a glorification of xenophobia.” Since coming to Congress, Gabe Vasquez has voted against securing the border and voted against hiring more CBP agents.

“If weakness invites aggression, then Gabe Vasquez’s open border policies invite dangerous bomb makers. Bomb makers illegally coming into New Mexico are unfortunately the reality of Gabe Vasquez’s dangerous policies.” — NRCC Spokeswoman Delanie Bomar
