MAY 23—Today, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution by a vote of 262-143 to repeal The Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022, which controversially allowed non-U.S. citizens including illegal immigrants, to vote for local public offices in the District of Columbia. 

Democratic New Mexico Representatives Gabe Vasquez and Teresa Leger Fernandez shamelessly voted against the resolution, adding to their extreme, open-border voting record.

"By voting to allow illegal immigrants to vote in U.S. elections, Gabe Vasquez and Teresa Leger Fernandez showed that they are willing to put the integrity of our elections, national security and democracy at risk in order to appease the radical, America-last wing of their party," said Republican Party of New Mexico Chairman Steve Pearce.

"It is more important than ever that Congress passes the SAVE Act, which will implement common-sense voter ID requirements to protect our sacred right to vote as United States citizens. If New Mexicans are tired of Democrats diminishing their rights in favor of those who break the laws of our country, vote for every Republican on the ballot this year."

Previously, Rep. Vasquez and Rep. Stansbury voted against an additional resolution condemning non-citizens voting in municipal elections. Additionally, all three Democratic representatives voted against preventing non-U.S. citizens from being counted in the census apportionment to determine how many seats each state gets in Congress.
