Dear Editor:
Congressman Gabe Vasquez is not suitable for representing Silver City and Grant county anymore. He is the former city councilman from Las Cruces who was raised not in the United States but in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, according to Wikipedia. He has just in the past few days introduced a bill in Congress that he calls the "Stop Fentanyl at the Border Act."
His answer to the very profitable illegal border invasion by the cartels is more money! YOUR money for this act!
What have you done for the past two years in office, Gabe? What was done in the past three years of the Biden Administration to stop it?
All it required was willpower and enforcement at the border. Not more dollars from us, the taxpayers, and our paychecks! (The Biden Administration has already committed to raising your taxes during the next term.)
We have Grant County friends and family members who are dead from fentanyl, I am sad to say.
Vasquez is too little, too late. His new "bill" is an insult to our grieving families.
