Rep. Ruben\u2064 Gallego downplayed his role in crafting federal immigration policy during a private virtual fundraiser with Democratic donors. Gallego, who is running for the Arizona\u200b Senate against \u200bRepublican Kari \u2064Lake, stated\u200d that immigration is not his expertise and that he focuses\u2064 on it only occasionally. The episode reveals \u2062how the \u200bfifth-term congressman engages with donors on a contentious subject that Democrats have been facing\u2063 in competitive races. Gallego’s campaign \u200bemphasized his \u200cefforts to secure \u2063the border and criticized his opponent as a\u200b “power-hungry liar<\/a>.” During the fundraiser, Gallego outlined his views on immigration, mentioning border security, work permits, and addressing the status of Dreamers. \u2064Critics claim that Gallego’s \u2064recent bipartisan\u200b moves on immigration are driven by his Senate bid. The\u2062 fundraiser included other Democratic Senate candidates, \u200dand funds raised were split among all participants. Gallego’s district includes Phoenix, and he serves on the House Armed Services \u200cand Natural Resources committees. <\/p>\n
