Politics: Enter at your own risk

ALBUQUERQUE, SEPTEMBER 19—On Wednesday, 158 Democrats in Congress shocked many by voting against the Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act, which would ensure that illegal immigrants who have admitted to or are convicted of sexual offenses or domestic violence against women and children would be deemed inadmissible and deportable. New Mexico U.S. Democratic Representatives Melanie Stansbury (CD 1) and Teresa Leger Fernandez (CD 3) were among those Democrats who opposed the resolution.

The act was passed by a vote of 266-158, with every present Republican voting in favor.

 ALBUQUERQUE, SEPTEMBER 19—Yesterday, Congress took up a vote on a Continuing Appropriations bill that would avert a government shutdown for six months and would also implement the SAVE Act, a piece of legislation that will require proof of citizenship to register to vote ahead of the General Election. 

All three of New Mexico's U.S. Democratic Representatives, Gabe Vasquez (CD 2), Melanie Stansbury (CD 1), and Teresa Leger Fernandez (CD 3), voted against the appropriations bill. This is the second time all three Democratic Representatives voted against legislation that included proof of citizenship to register to vote in U.S. elections. 

LAS CRUCES, SEPTEMBER 5—Today, Democratic Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham posted a tweet on her X account beginning with, "It's a beautiful morning in New Mexico," before announcing she would be heading to Doña Ana to break ground on a new 10-million-dollar taxpayer-funded abortion clinic.

The new clinic, strategically located to attract out-of-state abortion tourism to New Mexico, will offer late-term surgical abortions and gender transition procedures. This clinic, coupled with a 2023 law that prevented parental notification for a minor's abortion or transgender procedures, raises significant concerns about bringing this clinic into the community.

Democratic Representative Gabe Vasquez, who represents the district where the new abortion clinic is located, was present at the groundbreaking ceremony.

ALBUQUERQUE, AUGUST 27—As the general election approaches, Democrats are pandering with Republican policies, that they have no intention of implementing, because they know they are losing voters to the Republican party. Kamala Harris is the latest as she shamelessly continues to plagiarize President Trump's policies by now pledging to build the border wall, as reported by Axios.

Until now, Kamala Harris has consistently criticized the border wall, calling it a "stupid waste of money," "un-American" and saying that she wouldn’t “vote for a border wall under any circumstances.”Additionally, the Biden/Harris administration halted the construction of the border wall as one of its first executive orders.

The American Lands Council put out a call to action:

The American Lands Council invites friendly states, scholars, organizations, elected officials, local governments, and others to support Utah's legal action by filing an Amicus Brief as described herein, or by signing on to an Amicus Brief being prepared by American Lands Council.

ALBUQUERQUE, AUGUST 20—Tonight, New Mexico's Democratic Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham gave a speech at the DNC focused on the issue of healthcare.

The Republican Party of New Mexico Chairman Steve Pearce issued to following statement in response: 

"It's odd that Governor Lujan Grisham would be asked to speak at the DNC about healthcare when she's turned New Mexico into a hostile state for doctors," said Republican Party of New Mexico Chairman Steve Pearce.

Topline: Tim Walz is in lockstep with Kamala Harris’ out-of-touch and dangerous national Democrat agenda of open borders, sky-high inflation, and policies that are hurting hardworking Americans. 

 Time and time again Walz has put supporting the disastrous policies of national Democrats over what’s best for families including supporting a failed economic agenda, overseeing drastic public safety failures, and advocating for dangerous, open border immigration policies. 

While Walz will try to sell himself as a relatable moderate, his record shows that he consistently backs the most liberal policies that national Democrats have to offer and will be in lockstep with the Democrat agenda that has already failed Americans. 

ALBUQUERQUE, AUGUST 2—Today, it was announced that Kamala Harris has officially secured enough delegates to become the Democratic nominee for President through the Democratic National Convention's virtual roll call.

President Biden won the presidential primary in New Mexico, but he stepped down a little over 100 days before the general election after receiving pressured calls to bow out from some leading Democrats, including Senator Martin Heinrich and Representative Gabe Vasquez.
