FACT CHECK: Vasquez is not moderate on border security

In typical politician fashion, vulnerable Gabe Vasquez is trying to backtrack from his extreme language on border security… but let’s take a walk down memory lane.

Vasquez has:

❌ Called the border crisis a “non-existent threat.”

❌ Called efforts to secure the border “ill-informed” and “in bad taste.”

❌ Called to eliminate ICE, claiming it has “no regard for humanity.”

❌ Said the border wall was built by a “crooked, racist administration.”

❌ Applauded Biden for halting construction on the wall.

❌ Called border security a “racist, environmentally destructive, massive waste of money.”

❌ Said border security measures were “a glorification of xenophobia.” 

❌ Claimed Republicans only “want to make [the border] a political issue” because it’s an election year.

❌ Voted against the Secure the Border Act.

❌ Voted against denouncing Biden-Harris immigration policies.

❌ Voted against hiring more CBP agents and streamlining the asylum process.

❌ Voted against deploying improved technology to the southern border.

❌ Voted against ending catch and release.

❌ Voted against removing Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

❌ Established ties with an extreme open borders group.

Vasquez has a pattern of suddenly changing his extremist language months before an election. Just before that last election, he was caught deleting progressive tweets to create a more moderate image.

“Gabe Vasquez can lie all he wants, but the receipts speak for themselves. At the end of the day, Vasquez is an extremist opposed to improving border security.” — NRCC Spokeswoman Delanie Bomar
