14 House Democrats join GOP in demanding Biden take control of the border

A Dozen House Democrats‍ Break Ranks to Denounce Biden’s Immigration Policies

A little more than a dozen House Democrats defied their party ‍and joined Republicans in passing a resolution that criticizes President Joe Biden‘s immigration ‌policies. The resolution urges Biden to take ⁢action instead of​ relying on Congress to find a solution.

Fourteen Democrats joined forces with all 212 voting Republicans to approve the resolution, while 193 Democrats voted ⁢against it. ⁣Thirteen members, including both Republicans and Democrats, did not vote.

The 14 Democrats who broke ranks⁤ are Reps. Don Davis (D-NC), Jared Moskowitz (D-FL), Yadira Caraveo (D-CO), Angie Craig ‌(D-MN), Henry Cuellar (D-TX), Sharice Davids (D-KS), Jared ​Golden (D-ME), Steven Horsford (D-NV), Greg Landsman (D-OH), Susie Lee (D-NV), Frank Mrvan (D-IN), ​Mary Peltola (D-AK), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA), and Eric Sorense (D-IL).

The resolution ‌blames Biden and his ⁢administration⁣ for the “worst border security crisis in the Nation’s history” and calls for⁤ specific actions to address the situation, such as ending catch-and-release and entering into asylum cooperative agreements.

Representative ⁢Monica De La ⁤Cruz (R-TX), the author of the resolution, emphasized the urgency ‌of the border crisis and urged the Biden administration to use its available authorities to regain control⁤ and protect the interests of the American people.

This resolution is ⁣just one of several bipartisan measures aimed at rebuking the Biden administration’s handling of the border crisis. In previous instances,‌ Democrats ​have joined Republicans in passing legislation to establish penalties for high-speed vehicle chases near the border and denouncing the administration’s “open-borders policies.”

Last year, the GOP-led House passed a border security bill that aimed to restrict access ‍to asylum, but the Democrat-controlled Senate rejected it. Additionally, ⁣a bipartisan immigration deal fell ‍apart in the Senate last month after ⁣months of negotiations.

Representative Cueller, who represents a border district, led a group ‌of 26 House Democrats in urging⁤ Congress to ‍pass bipartisan legislation to ⁢address‌ the issue. He believes⁤ that Democrats can prioritize border security while still respecting the rights of migrants to seek asylum.

Meanwhile, House Republicans have voted to ‍impeach Homeland Security Secretary⁤ Alejandro‍ Mayorkas over his handling of the border crisis, but the Senate has yet ⁢to hold⁢ a trial for the Cabinet official.

What specific issues⁣ does the resolution address regarding⁢ border⁢ security and the ongoing border crisis?

=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>resolution, introduced by Rep. Tom McClintock⁤ (R-CA), criticizes President Biden’s immigration policies, specifically addressing border security and the handling of the ongoing border crisis. It argues that the Biden administration’s approach has led to an influx of illegal immigrants crossing the border and strains on border patrol resources, ⁢posing‍ a threat to national security.

The resolution calls⁤ on President Biden to address⁤ the border crisis by enforcing existing immigration laws, increasing border security measures, and working⁢ with Congress to find a long-term ​solution‍ that ensures a fair and efficient immigration system. It⁣ emphasizes the importance of maintaining the integrity of the immigration system while also providing humanitarian aid to those in need.

The decision of​ these House Democrats to break ⁤ranks with their party and support the resolution highlights growing concerns within the Democratic Party regarding the handling of immigration‍ issues. While the majority ⁢of Democrats voted against ​the resolution, these⁢ 14 members demonstrate ‍a willingness to acknowledge ​the shortcomings of the current approach and advocate for a different approach.

Their ⁤decision to join Republicans in passing this resolution also reflects‍ a broader sentiment among lawmakers that⁤ President Biden’s reliance‌ on Congress to ‍address immigration issues is inadequate. These Democrats are urging the President to take more immediate action and utilize executive⁣ powers to address the⁢ border crisis. This reflects a desire for stronger leadership and a sense of urgency in finding solutions to the immigration challenges facing the nation.

The border crisis has been a⁣ contentious issue since President Biden took office, with critics arguing that his administration’s ⁣policies have contributed to the surge in ⁣illegal border crossings. The influx of ‌migrants, particularly unaccompanied minors, has stretched the ⁣capacity of detention facilities and put​ a⁢ strain on resources at the⁤ border.

The actions of these House ⁢Democrats indicate a growing recognition that a new approach is needed to address the immigration challenges facing‍ the nation. By breaking ranks and siding with Republicans ⁣on this resolution, they​ are sending a clear message to President Biden and their fellow Democrats that the​ current policies are not sufficient.

Moving forward, it remains to be seen⁢ whether this dissent‌ among House Democrats will lead‍ to ​any ‍substantive changes in the Biden⁢ administration’s immigration policies. However, the ‌fact that a significant number⁢ of ⁤Democrats are willing to publicly criticize their own party’s approach suggests that the debate over immigration will⁢ continue to be a prominent and ⁣divisive ⁤issue in the‌ months and years⁤ ahead.

In ‍conclusion, a⁣ little over a dozen House‍ Democrats have broken ranks with their party to denounce ‌President Biden’s immigration policies. Their decision to join Republicans in passing a​ resolution highlights their​ concerns regarding border security and the handling​ of the ongoing border crisis. It also reflects a⁤ call for stronger⁤ leadership and immediate action to address ⁣these challenges. The dissent among House ​Democrats indicates a growing recognition that a new approach is needed ⁤to effectively address the nation’s immigration issues.
