Bipartisan Criticism of Biden Admin Border Policies – Intercessors for America

Even members of Biden’s own party are now turning on him, demanding stronger action on the southern border.

From The Hill. Fourteen Democrats voted with Republicans to denounce President Biden’s “open-border policies” Wednesday, delivering a rare legislative rebuke to the leader of their party on the politically prickly matter of immigration and border policy.

The GOP-led resolution — which also urges Biden to “end his administration’s open-border policies” — cleared the chamber in a 225-187 vote, with all Republicans in support.

Democratic “yes” votes came from Reps. Colin Allred (Texas), Yadira Caraveo (Colo.), Angie Craig (Minn.), Henry Cuellar (Texas), Don Davis (N.C.), Jared Golden (Maine), Vicente Gonzalez (Texas), Greg Landsman (Ohio), Susie Lee (Nevada), Jared Moskowitz (Fla.), Wiley Nickel (N.C.), Mary Peltola (Alaska), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (Wash.) and Eric Sorensen (Ill.). …

The legislation — which spans three pages — takes aim at the Biden administration’s decision to end the Migrant Protection Protocols and stop construction of a wall along the southern border, and accuses it of “abusing the parole authority.” It also alleges the administration of having “lax” immigration and border enforcement policies. …

The blitz comes as immigration and border security prove to be important issues among voters in the 2024 election cycle, and as they emerge as a weak spot for Biden. A CBS News poll released earlier this month found that 68 percent of Americans disapprove of how Biden is handling the situation at the border, with just 32 percent in approval.
