14 House Democrats condemn Biden Admin’s ‘open-borders policies
House Democrats Denounce Biden Administration’s “Open-Borders Policies”
Amid a surge in border crossings and overwhelmed blue cities, fourteen House Democrats boldly voted to denounce the Biden administration’s “open-borders policies.” This group of party defectors joined forces with all voting Republicans to pass a resolution condemning the national security and public safety crisis along the southwest border.
The resolution, introduced by Rep. Nathaniel Moran (R-TX), not only denounces the policies but also urges President Joe Biden to put an end to his administration’s open-borders approach. It is a clear message that these lawmakers believe in the importance of securing borders and enforcing immigration laws.
Among the fourteen Democrats who broke ranks was Rep. Colin Allred (D-TX), a former Tennessee Titans linebacker and Obama administration official who is currently challenging Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) in the 2024 election. The other courageous representatives who voted against their party’s stance include Reps. Yadira Caraveo (D-CO), Angie Craig (D-MN), Henry Cuellar (D-TX), Donald Davis (D-NC), Jared Golden (D-ME), Vicente Gonzalez (D-TX), Greg Landsman (D-OH), Susie Lee (D-NV), Jared Moskowitz (D-FL), Wiley Nickel (D-NC), Mary Peltola (D-AK), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA), and Eric Sorensen (D-IL).
“Most of us understand that nations need borders, those borders should be secured, and we should enforce the immigration laws on the books. Most of us also understand that those seeking entry to our country deserve an orderly and predictable immigration process. Right now we have problems on both fronts,” Golden said in a statement.
“Illegal immigration threatens our national security and undermines American jobs,” he added. “It’s time for Congress and the Biden administration to come together and pass legislation to meaningfully address issues at the border. It should be a top priority in Washington, just like it is in most of America.”

The bipartisan vote took place as impeachment hearings against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas get underway this month and on the same day congressional leaders met with Biden at the White House to discuss a national security funding request for U.S. allies such as Ukraine and Israel, as well as border security while the Democrat-led Senate tried to hash out a deal.
“I told President Biden: it’s on you,” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said in a post to X. “Your policies created the border crisis. Your executive action can end it. House Republicans will continue to demand transformative policy change and hold this administration accountable until the border is secure.”
