就在周二俄亥俄州初选举行前几天，共和党人抨击民主党参议院初选候选人谢罗德·布朗在非法移民问题上不诚实。
“我支持关闭边境，阻止人们随意越境，但我也说过，我们当然应该驱逐那些犯下罪行的人，这是理所当然的，”布朗在上个月的一次采访中如是说，这番言论引发了人们对其投票记录的审查，而记录显示情况恰恰相反。
这番言论引发了人们对布朗试图改写其投票记录的担忧，记录显示，自首届特朗普政府以来，布朗长期反对边境安全和驱逐外籍罪犯。
布朗曾担任三届参议员（2007年至2025年），任期近整整20年，2024年在选举中输给了俄亥俄州共和党参议员伯尼·莫雷诺。如今，布朗正在角逐俄亥俄州共和党参议员乔恩·赫斯特德的席位，赫斯特德在第二届特朗普政府开始时被任命填补副总统JD·万斯空出的参议院席位。

作为参议员，布朗一直坚定地站在左翼阵营，反对唐纳德·特朗普总统的边境安全和执法举措。早在2001年担任众议员期间，到2024年第三届参议员任期结束，他至少有10次投票保护为庇护城市提供的联邦资金，此外他还：
- 共同发起了2019年《结束大规模驱逐法案》，该法案旨在废除特朗普的行政令，该行政令优先驱逐非法外籍罪犯，并削减对庇护城市的资金支持。
- 投票反对确保移民海关执法局“有足够资源拘留和驱逐更多被定罪的非法外籍罪犯”。
- 投票反对拨款阻止非法外籍罪犯获得特赦。
- 2001年投票阻止为驱逐外籍罪犯提供资金。
布朗的投票记录显示，他最新的言论与过去的投票和公开立场存在矛盾。
布朗曾多次反对修建“行不通”的南部边境墙，称这一想法“愚蠢”“错误”且“荒唐”。过去他曾投票：
- 2021年取消特朗普的边境墙项目。
- 2023年投票反对重启边境墙建设。
- 投票反对为美国海关和边境保护局提供3亿美元资金，用于在南部边境检测阿片类药物和麻醉品。
- 投票反对拨款将非法移民转移到民主党掌控的庇护城市和州。
福克斯新闻数字频道已联系布朗的竞选团队置评，但对方未立即回应。
俄亥俄州参议院竞选预计将于今夏展开激烈角逐，双方都将投入巨额竞选资金以争夺参议院多数席位，移民问题仍是核心议题。
“今年11月，俄亥俄州选民将在过去与未来之间做出明确选择，”赫斯特德的竞选经理德鲁·汤普森告诉《克利夫兰信号报》。该报本周报道称，尽管赫斯特德在初选中无对手，但他的参议院竞选已投入100万美元广告预算。“乔恩·赫斯特德已经早早起步，直接向选民讲述他的故事，这些选民已经准备好在华盛顿看到一种全新的、切合实际的施政方式。”

汤普森在一份声明中补充道，布朗32年来为庇护城市和非法移民投票的记录将在该州给他带来麻烦。
声明中写道：“2024年，布朗声称他只是从极右翼那里听说了非法移民问题，这让俄亥俄州人大吃一惊。如今，他不顾一切想要重返华盛顿，继续推行他支持了32年的拜登时代的开放边境政策。相比之下，乔恩·赫斯特德正致力于收拾谢罗德·布朗留下的烂摊子：为边境安全提供资金、支持边境执法人员、维护法治。”
《库克政治报告》将俄亥俄州参议院席位列为三大摇摆选区之一。另外两个席位分别是缅因州共和党参议员苏珊·柯林斯的连任竞选，以及密歇根州民主党参议员加里·彼得斯退休后空出的密歇根州开放席位。

阿拉斯加州（倾向共和党）、佐治亚州（民主党参议员乔恩·奥索夫）、北卡罗来纳州（倾向民主党）和新罕布什尔州（倾向民主党）的参议院席位也是备受关注、吸引大量竞选资金的激烈竞选席位。
“谢罗德·布朗的谎言不会欺骗俄亥俄州选民，”美国全国共和党参议员委员会地区新闻秘书尼克·普利亚在一份声明中说道。“他们知道，半个多世纪以来，布朗一直与卡玛拉·哈里斯等自由主义者并肩作战，支持开放边境，保护危险的非法外籍罪犯免遭驱逐。”

Dem Senate candidate Sherrod Brown claims he supports ‘closing the border’; GOP says record proves otherwise
2026-05-03T12:05:24-04:00 / Fox News
Republicans are calling out Democratic Senate primary candidate Sherrod Brown for being disingenuous on illegal immigration just days before Tuesday’s Ohio primary election.
“I support closing the border to people so they just can’t cross the border at will, but I also say we, of course, should be deporting people that have committed a crime, surely,” Brown said in an interview last month, prompting reviews of his voting record to the contrary.
That remark has raised concern about Brown trying to rewrite his voting record that showed longtime opposition to border security and deportation of criminal aliens since the first Trump administration.
Brown served in the Senate for three terms (2007-2025), nearly two full decades, before losing in 2024 to Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio. Now, Brown is seeking the seat of Sen. Jon Husted, R-Ohio, who was appointed to Vice President JD Vance’s seat at the start of the second Trump administration.
MAGA-OUSTED DEM SENATOR FROM KEY SWING STATE LAUNCHES COMEBACK CAMPAIGN AFTER LOSING SEAT IN 2024: REPORT

Brown had been squarely on the side of the left against President Donald Trump’s border security and enforcement actions as a senator. Not only did he vote at least 10 times to protect federal funding for sanctuary cities from his time in the House in 2001 through his third Senate term in 2024, he has also:
- Co-sponsored the 2019 End Mass Deportation Act, which sought to rescind Trump’s executive order to prioritize deporting criminal illegals and withhold funding for sanctuary cities.
- Voted against ensuring ICE has “sufficient resources to detain and deport a higher number of illegal aliens who have been convicted of a crime.”
- Voted against funding to stop criminal aliens from securing amnesty.
- Voted to stop funding for deportation of criminal aliens in 2001.
Brown’s voting record shows a discrepancy between his latest comments and his past votes and public positions.
Brown has repeatedly opposed construction of a southern border wall “that doesn’t work,” calling the idea “stupid,” “wrong” and “ludicrous.” In the past he has voted:
- To cancel Trump’s border wall projects in 2021.
- Against restarting the border wall construction in 2023.
- Against $300 million for U.S. Customs and Border Protection for opioid and narcotic detection at the southern border.
- Against funding to relocating illegal aliens to Democrats’ sanctuary cities and states.
Fox News Digital reached out to Brown’s campaign for comment, but they did not immediately respond.
The Ohio Senate race figures to be a very competitive one this summer, drawing massive campaign dollars from both sides in the pursuit of the Senate majority, with immigration remaining a top issue.
“This November, Ohioans will have a clear choice between the past and the future,” Husted campaign manager Drew Thompson told Signal Cleveland, which reported a $1 million ad campaign for his Senate race this week, despite running unopposed in the primary. “Jon Husted is getting an early start by taking his story directly to voters who are ready for a fresh, common-sense approach in Washington.”

Brown’s 32-year record of voting for sanctuary cities and illegal immigration will come back to haunt him in the state, Thompson added in a statement.
“After shocking Ohioans in 2024 by claiming he only hears about illegal immigration from the far Right, Sherrod Brown is now desperate to return to Washington and continue the same Biden-era open border policies he supported for 32 years,” the statement read. “Jon Husted, on the other hand, is working to clean up Sherrod Brown’s mess by funding border security, supporting border agents, and standing for the rule of law.”
Ohio is one of three races considered a toss-up by The Cook Political Report. The re-election campaign of Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and the open Michigan seat vacated by retiring Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich., are the other two.

Senate seats in Alaska (lean GOP), Georgia (Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga.), North Carolina (lean Democrat) and New Hampshire (lean Democrat) are the other close races drawing attention and campaign dollars.
“Sherrod Brown’s lies aren’t going to trick Ohioans,” NRSC regional press secretary Nick Puglia said in a statement. “They know Brown has fought for over half a century alongside liberals like Kamala Harris to open our borders and protect dangerous criminal illegals from deportation.”
