It turns out that everyone underestimated how a proposal for mass deportations could bring Americans together. Donald Trump assembled the biggest, most diverse GOP coalition in decades while running further to the right on immigration, crime and culture than perhaps any major-party presidential candidate in U.S. history.

Trump inveighed against unchecked illegal immigration in harsh and lurid terms — and picked up Hispanic voters. Trump pledged to reverse “a brutal plague of bloodshed, crime, chaos, misery and death in our land” — and won more young voters.

Trump famously dethroned the Republican establishment in 2016, and now has crushed its theory of how to...

WASHINGTON D.C.  — U.S. Representative Gabe Vasquez, N.M.,  voted in favor of H.R.82, the Social Security Fairness Act, which strengthens Social Security benefits for public servants, on Nov. 12.

Paul Tonko, D-N.Y., introduced the Broadening Utilization of Proven and Effective Treatment for Recovery Act, or BUPE for Recovery Act, legislation to increase access to buprenorphine — a lifesaving drug used to treat opioid use disorder — by removing barriers providers and patients face when trying to access the medication on Oct. 4

“New Mexicans know too well the heartache of losing a loved one to opioids,” Heinrich said.  “Enough is enough. We need an all-hands-on-deck approach to tackle this epidemic with the urgency it demands, which includes eliminating barriers that providers and patients face in...
