In a shameful move, today all three Democratic Congressional Representatives in New Mexico, Gabe Vasquez, Melanie Stansbury, and Teresa Leger Fernandez, voted against a resolution denouncing the Biden administration’s open border policies that have led to the worst border crisis in history, cost numerous American lives, and continue to create a grand scale humanitarian, fentanyl and crime crisis.

Ironically, just this week, Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham was caught on leaked audio scolding Secretary Mayorkas’ Chief of Staff for the people “pouring over” the New Mexico border and how she feels, and we agree, it will make her look feckless.

This vote continues a series of actions and votes by all three Representatives that support the ongoing lawlessness at the southern border.

Previously, Rep. Gabe Vasquez, Rep. Melanie Stansbury, and Rep. Teresa Leger Fernandez voted:

- AGAINST the Secure the Border Act right before the expiration of Title 42.

- AGAINSTH. Res. 1112, another resolution denouncing Biden’s open border policies.

- AGAINSTThe Laken Riley Act, which would hold criminals who cross our border illegally accountable.

- AGAINST TheEnd the Border Catastrophe Act, which would end catch and release, increase the number of border patrol agents, strengthen the asylum process, and continue the construction of the border wall.

“The Representatives’ vote today proves what we’ve known all along: They see no issue with Biden’s open border policies and have zero intention of working to secure New Mexico’s border. I hope it is becoming abundantly clear to New Mexican voters that every Democrat who refuses to stand up to Biden bears the responsibility for the violence directed at our citizens, the tragic fentanyl-related deaths, and the crime wave sweeping our streets due to our open border. If New Mexicans want to end this crisis, they must vote Republican up and down the ballot in November,” said Republican Party of New Mexico Chairman Steve Pearce.
