Why we checked itA specific voting record claim against his opponent that could be verified or refuted through congressional records
What we foundMike Rogers did vote against at least one border-related appropriations bill while in Congress (2014), but the claim that he voted 'against border funding' oversimplifies a record where his objections were typically that bills did not go far enough on enforcement, not that he opposed border security spending in principle.
