“Since getting to Congress, I have thought about what comprehensive immigration reform looks like in the modern era when Congress is more dysfunctional than ever,” said Vasquez. “To ensure we get things done in Congress, I am proud to stand here today with the Democrats for Border Security Task Force because we know how to put people over politics to deliver results for our constituents. I look forward to working with my colleagues on this task force because we are the party that wants to solve this issue while MAGA Republicans want to run on this issue.”
Vasquez has introduced a package of bipartisan bills to address the broken immigration system and the challenges we face at the border, however, MAGA Republicans who control the House refuse to bring common sense legislation to the floor.
The Democrats for Border Security Task Force knows that Democrats can be strong on border security while also respecting the rights of migrants to seek asylum. Vasquez will continue to work with his colleagues on both sides of the aisle to deliver results to his constituents.
