Kamala Harris and Gabe Vasquez: Wannabe Republicans During an Election Year

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.

Kamala Harris isn't the only Democrat who has started sounding like a Republican right before an election. New Mexico Representative Gabe Vasquez is also toning down his radical progressive stances and rebranding himself as a strong border security candidate in recent ads, to resemble his Republican challenger, Yvette Herrell.

Like Harris, Vasquez has a long history of criticizing the border wall, calling it "racist" and saying we should "tear what's left of it down." In addition to his statements, Vasquez has consistently voted against strong border security bills, particularly those that would close the border. He voted against the Laken Riley Act, which would hold the criminals who take advantage of the open border accountable, and took many pro-illegal immigration stances like refusing to condemn illegal immigrants voting in U.S. elections.

"Gabe Vasquez, like Kamala Harris, will pretend to embrace Republican policies before an election because he knows his own unpopular and radical open-border positions have put many New Mexicans in danger and made the second congressional district less safe,"said Republican Party of New Mexico Chairman Steve Pearce. "Republican Yvette Herrell has remained unwavering in her commitment to securing the border, equipping border patrol, and prioritizing the safety of our border communities. Meanwhile, Gabe Vasquez's weak positions on the border and every other issue seem to shift with the political winds."
