Three House Democrats, all of whom dismissed concern about the southern border crisis and voted against measures to enhance border security in the past, are now giving attention to the issue.
A handful of vulnerable House Democrats, all of whom dismissed concern about the southern border crisis and voted against measures to enhance border security in the past, have attempted to show their attention to the issue as they campaign for re-election. Three Democrats in competitive House races this election cycle — Reps. Yadira Caraveo, D-Colo., Gabe Vasquez, D-N.M., and Eric Sorenson, D-Ill.
Prior to joining Congress, Vasquez lashed out at then-President Trump amid immigration woes in 2018 and insisted the idea of 'sending the military to quell a non-existent threat' is 'beyond stupid.' In a November 2020 post to Twitter, now known as X, Vasquez responded to one social media user who called for the abolition of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection by writing, 'the only ICE we need to be melting.
Caraveo and Vasquez are both seeking re-election to their seats that have been labeled 'Democrat Toss Up' by the Cook Political Report, a nonpartisan election analyst. Sorensen's seat has been labeled as 'Lean Democrat.' CBP records show the first six months of fiscal year 2024 had 1,340,801 total encounters, exceeding the first six months of fiscal year 2023, which set a record of 1,226,254 total encounters.
