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.
Additionally, all three representatives have previously voted against condemning non-citizens voting in state elections, against legislation to hold illegal immigrants who commit crimes in our country accountable, and against tough border security bills.
Many states have already found and removed thousands of non-citizens from their voter rolls, despite Democrats denying that non-citizens are registering to vote.
The Republican Party of New Mexico Chairman Steve Pearce issued the following statement:
“Despite all the talk about protecting democracy, Representatives Gabe Vasquez, Melanie Stansbury and Teresa Leger Fernandez threw away another opportunity to safeguard the integrity of our elections. New Mexicans want to be certain that only U.S. citizens vote in the upcoming election, but unfortunately, their representatives continue to cater to the far-left, anti-America wing of their party. Requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote is a common-sense measure that should not be controversial especially when New Mexico’s Democratic representatives have enabled 10 million people to enter our country illegally. If New Mexicans are fed up with being put last and want strong borders, secure elections and safe streets, vote Republican up and down the ballot this November.”
Donald and JD have been lying about legal immigrants in Ohio to stir up bigoted white people.
They lie and say that the food ways of non-white people include eating pets, dogs and cats.
Has Steve Pearce considered trying this in New Mexico?
Maybe RPNM can start some lies about Hispanics and the weird stuff they eat. And have you seen how they waste their money on rims and low riders and fancy pickup trucks! Why is the media not reporting on all the Hispanic BBQ made of dogs, cats, and roadrunners in New Mexico?
RPNM should invite Trump to the National Hispanic Cultural Center in ABQ for a white power rally.
Donald Trump is such a stable genius, this is some real 4D chess high brow politics, RPNM doesn’t want to miss out.
Steve Pearce is already queuing up the excuses for Donald Trump’s coming election lose.
It’s hilarious seeing the GOP throw American Democracy under the bus rather than look in a mirror.
RPNM “Why does Republican power and influence keep shrinking in NM?”
Voters “We don’t like your ideas and the man at the top of your ticket is an 80 year old fascist pig.”
RPNM “Well, that’s unfortunate because we are to feckless to enforce any standards in our party and it would be impossible for us to update any policies to be more in line with public opinion.”
RPNM “It would be easier not to change and instead blame America for our lose.”
People that are willing to damage American’s faith in our democracy to promote a anti American autocrat are garbage.
Steve Pearce and Donald Trump are very old men that know better. They know exactly what they are doing.
They both know that Republican’s aren’t losing because of illegal votes, but they sure hope we haven’t noticed.
They knew that in 2021 when they staged the coup against America.
Steve Pearce and RPNM was part of the coup, with their fake electors scheme. Donald Trump of course directed the insurrection on J6 to stop the certification of the election in 2020 because he knew he had lost and it was the only way to stay in power.
When Donald loses again here in just a few weeks, people like Steve Pearce will be using RPNM resources to promote more election lies.
RPNM will be liable for any election interfere and election violence that the those sore loser lies bring about.
Republican’s war on reality and inability to accept their election loses are a threat to democracy.
