Lauren Boebert has a long history of spreading false and misleading information about migrants. In 2006, Boebert, as a member of the Swift Boat Veterans, released a statement making false claims about Canadian migrants crossing into the United States. The statement claimed that thousands of illegal immigrants from Canada were crossing into the US, with very little security to stop them. However, authorities could not confirm at the time whether any such border crossings were taking place. This incident highlights Boebert’s propensity to spread false and irresponsible information about migrants, a behavior she has continued during her current campaign for Congress.
