Opposed and Fought Border Security. While our border is wide open to cartels and lethal drugs like fentanyl, Tony Gonzales opposed “The Border Safety and Security Act” (118th Congress, H.R. 29). This act would have authorized the Department of Homeland Security to suspend the entry of illegal immigrants. Tony called this bill to secure the border “un-American.”
