It turns out that Carbajal may be so emotionally connected to illegal immigrants because he likely entered the US illegally himself.
The Santa Barbara Current reported on Carbajal’s immigration history in February this year. The Current shared the following:
In a previous article titled Consequences, Congressman Salud Carbajal’s inspiring immigrant story was briefly mentioned. However, his office strongly objected to the following statement:
“Salud Carbajal, who immigrated illegally with his family at age five (first to Arizona and then) to Oxnard, where his father worked on a farm. Salud eventually became a U.S. citizen, served in the military, and was elected to public office. While Salud’s success story is admirable, it is not the reason many argue for illegal immigration.”
His office specifically challenged the claim that he entered the U.S. illegally, calling it “patently and provably false.” In response, we invited Mr. Carbajal’s office to provide proof of his legal entry, given their assertion that such proof exists and given his extensive public discussion of his immigration story throughout his campaigns. The response? “We have nothing more to discuss.”
If Mr. Carbajal has publicly shared his immigration story for years, why is he now refusing to discuss it?
To be clear, we do not question Mr. Carbajal’s current U.S. citizenship and sincerely hope that he and his family entered the country legally in 1970. However, as an elected official advocating for immigration reform, transparency about his own immigration history is both relevant and necessary.
This response raised important questions and concerns:
Mr. Carbajal claims his legal entry is provable yet refuses to provide documentation.
He shared on X, formerly Twitter, a Mexican government photo stating, “This was the picture on my green card when I immigrated to the U.S. from Mexico in 1970 at age 5.”
The Bracero Program, which allegedly allowed his entire family to immigrate legally, ended in December 1964—one month after his birth and six years before his reported arrival in 1970. While Mr. Carbajal has frequently stated that his father was a farmworker, his official biography indicates his father worked in an Arizona mine when his family came to the U.S. The Bracero Program was limited to temporary workers in agriculture and railroads due to WWII labor shortages—the mining industry was not part of the program.
The program granted visas only to individual male laborers, not their families. If his father was a Bracero, how did the entire family enter legally?
Mr. Carbajal has stated that his family “was not separated” when they came to the U.S. if he was the “last of his seven siblings to come to the U.S” how can both statements be true? He was born in Moroleón, Mexico—1,000 miles from the U.S. border. If his family traveled that distance, who facilitated their journey? If he arrived later, how did a young child travel that far alone?
He has stated multiple times that he was five years old when he immigrated, yet he has also said he came to the U.S. in 1970, which would have made him six years old.

The absurdity of that is off the charts if true. They come here illegally, milk the system, get fat, then milk it further with vanity Ozempic prescriptions. Variations of this theme go on for decades as Americans grit their teeth and our political system totally fails to do anything about it. Finally Donald Trump comes along to do something about it and is opposed by the system as though he were hitler. The level of crazy is a true marvel.
No 2025
Some here were convinced she was of “Rising Juntas” but I never thought the eyebrows were close enough
I wanted to see how it turned out - I put down a big picture of one gal - just curious
Nothing rings a bell........complete puzzlement ?????
What’s in dispute is whether the family entered the country illegally.
Videos of him at the ICE protest show an aggressive, mean spirited
individual who is the antithesis of what we expect of a US Congressman.
Now that he’s been outed, he’s desperate to keep his seat.
Probably getting rich off taxpayers.
Wonder how many bank accounts the loyal Mexican has waiting for him in Mexico?
Thanks for the ping.
thx-——missed it
Nothing will happen to this person.
For this one act he should have his citizenship revoked and deported immediately......................
Nothing has been done about Omar. Guessing a few other, too.
For this one act he should have his citizenship revoked and deported immediately.........
No question.........get him outta our Congress.
Check
It was too much even for Gov. Newsom - who promised free Medi-Cal to illegals - bill came in for $12B.
What’s an old Commie to do when his tax base is fleeing to Florida and Texas, he doesn’t have a money printing press and the Feds will not bail him out?
“Starting in 2026, California will halt new enrollments for undocumented adults in Medi-Cal, the state-funded healthcare program for low-income residents.
Additionally, beginning in July 2027, a $30 monthly premium will be imposed on immigrants currently enrolled in Medi-Cal, including some with legal status.”
Will take a lot of $30/month payments to make up for the $12B illegals have sucked out of the system, just on health care.
I suspect it is true that lot of illegals are getting Ozempic. Millions of them are getting free health care. A big percentage of them are overweight and have diabetes. Ergo...
There’s no dispute except in your imaginary mind. OBVIOUSLY if he became a naturalized citizen, he either entered illegally, or remained on US soil illegally for some time.
