When questioned about whether he wished for more aggressive immigration action from Biden, Gomez acknowledged that hypothetical scenarios wouldn’t alter current realities. “Biden did take big steps during his administration. You saw a rapid decline in illegal [border] crossings. And also was focused on cracking down on fentanyl in a way that actually cracks down. We know for a fact that fentanyl, 80% of it comes in at ports of entry, delivered and carried by U.S. citizens. We should be focusing on that to make our country safer.”

The congressman further elaborated on his position, expressing concerns about former President Trump’s approach to immigration laws. “So, we can wish all we want, but this is the situation we’re in. And I believe that Trump is also using these laws in a way that drives up prices for working people, makes people less secure, and makes our communities less safe.”
