REPORT: Vicente Gonzalez puts smugglers before CBP

February 1, 2024

In case you missed it, earlier this week Vicente Gonzalez voted against a bipartisan bill to hold responsible illegal immigrants and smugglers who engage in high-speed car chases with Border Patrol.

These dangerous high-speed chases aren’t unusual along the border in South Texas. Recently a 15-year-old smuggler (with five illegal immigrants in the back of the car) led Border Patrol on a 150 mph chase in South Texas, putting everyone’s — including bystanders driving on the road — lives at risk.

“For years, Vicente Gonzalez has sided with those who make life harder and more dangerous for Border Patrol and families living in the RGV. Gonzalez is unapologetic enabler of the dangerous Biden border crisis.” — NRCC Spokeswoman Delanie Bomar
