MAGA Star's 'Right Way' Immigrant Grandfather Story Busted [View all]

Anti-immigration policies advocated for by Colorado Rep. Gabe Evans would have resulted in the deportation of his own grandfather, who also may not have gotten into the U.S. legally.

The rising MAGA star and anti-immigration advocate has repeatedly said that his Mexican grandfather came to the U.S. “the right way,” implying that he arrived legally, but an investigation by Colorado Newsline claims that immigration documents show that isn’t strictly true.

Paperwork seen by Colorado Newsline shows that Evans’ grandfather, Cuauhtemoc Chavez, arrived in the U.S. illegally in 1929 with his mother and siblings and lived there for 12 years before being arrested and subject to deportation proceedings.

Two of Chavez’s sisters were arrested at the same time, according to documents which list their reason for entering the country on December 9, 1929, as “to live, illegal entry.”
