ANDREA SALINAS
A Dangerous Record on Border Security and Public Safety
Andrea Salinas’s record shows a pattern of dangerous decisions when it comes to protecting our borders and communities. She voted against the Secure the Border Act of 2023 (H.R. 2), a bill that would have restarted the border wall and increased penalties for illegal immigration[1]. Instead of prioritizing the safety of our country, Salinas chose to vote against common-sense measures that would have bolstered our national security. Salinas even opposed a resolution (H.Res. 461) that would have condemned public schools being used as shelters for illegal immigrants, putting the needs of illegal immigrants over the safety and focus of our children[32].
​
Voted to Allow the Banning of Gas Appliances Including Stoves!
​
When it comes to household choices, Andrea Salinas has sided with extreme environmentalists at the expense of everyday Americans. She voted against the Gas Stove Protection and Freedom Act (H.R. 1615) and the Save Our Gas Stoves Act (H.R. 1640), both of which were designed to protect consumers' rights to choose their kitchen appliances[33][34]. These votes reveal a disturbing trend of supporting restrictive policies that limit the freedom of American families and businesses to make their own choices.
​
A Record of Disregarding Public Safety
​
Andrea Salinas’s votes in Congress reflect a troubling disregard for public safety. She voted against H.R. 3941, a bill that would have prohibited schools that receive federal funding from housing illegal immigrants, showing a willingness to compromise the safety and integrity of our educational institutions[35]. Her record is clear: Salinas puts radical leftist policies ahead of the well-being of our communities.
