As a barrage of controversial executive orders from President Donald Trump inflames partisan divides in Washington, D.C., Democrat Gabe Vasquez, who represents New Mexico鈥檚 most conservative congressional district, is focused on bipartisan border security and agriculture legislation.

In his first term, Vasquez started the bipartisan Southwest Caucus with Rep. Juan Ciscomani, R-Ariz. The Southwest Caucus was able to claim its first victory in the 119th Congress last week: House passage of a bill to hold human smugglers and cartel members accountable for high-speed car chases along the southern border.

鈥淚n Cochise County, high-speed car chases by cartel members, human smugglers, and other bad actors jeopardize the safety of our Customs and Border Protection agents, local law enforcement officials, and residents alike,鈥� Ciscomani, who sponsored the bill, said in a statement.

The Agent Raul Gonzalez Officer Safety Act would impose new criminal and immigration penalties for intentionally fleeing in a car from a federal officer. It passed in a 264-155 vote, with the support of 50 Democrats, including Vasquez, and has been referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Vasquez plans to reintroduce legislation he introduced last year, with bipartisan support, meant to increase border security by providing technology for more screening, with the goal of stopping illicit drugs being smuggled through ports of entry.

鈥淚f we actually want to talk about stopping fentanyl from reaching our communities, we have to be able to fund our ports of entry to have this updated technology. And I don鈥檛 think Republicans disagree with that,鈥� Vasquez said.

Along with border security, Vasquez thinks bipartisan agreement can be found on wildfire preparedness. He pointed to the bipartisan Fix Our Forests Act, forest management legislation that passed the House in January and has garnered pushback from some environmental groups concerned the bill would open up more public land to logging projects.

Vasquez thinks supporting international trade and protecting American farmers from Trump鈥檚 sweeping tariffs could also find bipartisan traction. Approximately 150,000 small and medium-sized farms have shuttered in the U.S. over the last decade, Vasquez said.

鈥淚f we want to talk about the family farm in New Mexico, we better be paying attention to what鈥檚 happening with tariffs and how that鈥檚 going to impact dairies, cattle growers, chile growers, onions and we鈥檝e only seen the acreage of so many of these operations reduce in New Mexico and in our district,鈥� Vasquez said. 鈥淣ow is the time for Republicans to stand up, and some of them are, but we need more of them to stand up.鈥�
