 Colin Allred is More Extreme than Border Czar Harris

HOUSTON — Colin Allred’s record on every major issue is in perfect sync with the far-left wing of the Democratic Party. But when it comes to immigration, Colin Allred is more extreme than even Border Czar Kamala Harris.  

Both Allred and Harris have supported the restructuring of ICE, but Allred has taken it one step further. He recently touted an endorsement from NextGen America, an organization that has outright called for ICE to be abolished and for the police to be defunded. He even attended a campaign where they handed out cards with instructions to help illegal immigrants evade law enforcement and potential deportation. 

Colin Allred has gone as far as denying the existence of the border crisis, calling the border wall “racist”, and has consistently voted against common-sense border security legislation that would secure our border.  

It has been 48 days since Can’t Comment Colin held a press conference. 

COLIN ALLRED’S EXTREME VOTING RECORD ON THE BORDER:

  • Voted AGAINST the POLICE ACT, which would make assaulting a law enforcement official a deportable offense for any non-U.S. national present in the U.S.
  • Voted AGAINST H. R. 2: Secure the Border Act

  • Voted YES on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’ amendment to HR 2500, prohibiting the Trump administration from deploying troops to the southern border for immigration enforcement purposes.

  • Voted YES on the veto override for Joaquin Castro’s HJ Res. 46, a resolution to terminate President Trump’s national emergency declaration for the southern border.

  • Voted YES on Rep. James McGovern’s amendment to HR 268, which would ensure that no funds could be spent on a border wall.

  • CO-SPONSORED and voted YES on Lucille Roybal-Allard’s HR 6, the American Dream and Promise Act of 2019, which sought to provide permanent resident status to illegals who entered the country as minors or are from countries that were offered Temporary Protected Status at some point.

  • Voted NO H.R. 3941: Schools Not Shelters Act which prohibited using school facilities that receive federal funding from being used to house any non-U.S. national who unlawfully entered the country.

  • Voted NO on Joaquin Castro’s amendment to HR 2740, the FY20 “four-bill” appropriations package requiring the Office of Refugee Resettlement to report to Congress when children die in their custody.

  • Voted YES on HR 1333 NO BAN Act which establishes limitations on the president’s authority to suspend or restrict undocumented individuals from entering the United States.

  • Voted NO on HR 5283 Protecting our Communities from Failure to Secure the Border Act which prohibits the federal government from using certain federally administered lands to provide housing to any non-U.S. nationals (aliens under federal law) who have not been admitted into the United States.

  • In June 2019, Allred voted AGAINST an MTR to H.R. 6 that would automatically refer illegal aliens who were denied green cards on the basis of criminal activity, national security risks, or were violent gang members to Homeland Security. 

A Cruz Campaign spokesperson issued the following statement.

“The border crisis is a top-of-mind issue for Texas voters and Colin Allred has consistently voted for open border policies and has proudly touted support from an organization that consistently calls to defund ICE. There is nothing moderate about Colin Allred. In fact, he’s even more radical than Kamala Harris.”
