Keep checking back as we fill in this voter guide.But as Vargas concedes, that voice is not as effective as many would hope in resolving crucial issues.
On the sewage crisis, Vargas said the Tijuana local government depends on its federal government for funding — and when funding is available, authorities never have enough to provide even basics like traffic lights in fast-growing Tijuana. The $300 million in U.S funding that Vargas and other local House members helped secure for sewage fixes in return for supporting the Trump administration’s U.S.
On border waits, Vargas said that he expected staffing problems to dissipate when President Joe Biden replaced Donald Trump, who had different border priorities. Vargas said, “It makes no sense not to add more now.” This point cannot be made enough. Vargas also ripped that Ukrainians seeking asylum are getting “totally unfair” preferential treatment from the Biden administration over the thousands of people, largely Central Americans, who have been waiting for years in Tijuana. “I think it’s racist, frankly,” he said.
