Gabe Vasquez Schools Pete Hegseth: Skip the Border Photo Ops
New Mexico Congressman Gabe Vasquez just gave Pete Hegseth a reality check on border security. In a heated exchange, Vasquez told Hegseth to “skip the photo ops” and instead spend real time on the ground with the communities, ranchers, and border patrol agents who live this reality every single day.Vasquez broke down why building a border wall in some regions is physically impossible, pointing to New Mexico’s Bootheel, the rugged terrain of the Animus Mountains, and other areas where technology—not concrete—is the smarter solution. He pressed the Defense Secretary on why billions are being diverted from critical military programs into half-measures at the border, instead of investing in proven tools like autonomous surveillance towers and aerostat systems that actually strengthen security.
This clash highlights a bigger issue: Washington’s obsession with political optics versus the real-world knowledge of those living on the border. While photo ops make headlines, Vasquez argues that real solutions come from understanding the land, the people, and the challenges on the ground.
What do you think—should border policy be shaped by photo ops or lived experience?
