The House passed a resolution condemning the Biden administration’s border policies on Tuesday, rebuking President Joe Biden for “refusing” to use executive authority to stop the illegal flow of immigrants crossing the southern border.
House Republicans overwhelmingly voted in favor of the resolution, passing it 226 to 193. Fourteen House Democrats voted in support of the resolution, which is the latest step taken by GOP lawmakers to blast Biden for his perceived lack of accountability when it comes to border security.
The resolution, introduced by Rep. Monica De La Cruz (R-TX), accuses the Biden administration of limiting expedited removal, which Republicans believe “only incentivizes illegal immigration and worsens the border crisis.”
Democrats who voted in favor of the resolution were Reps. Yadira Caraveo (D-CO), Angie Craig (D-MN), Henry Cuellar (D-TX), Sharice Davids (D-KS), Don Davis (D-NC), Jared Golden (D-ME), Steven Horsford (D-NV), Greg Landsman (D-OH), Susie Lee (D-NV), Jared Moskowitz (D-FL), Frank Mrvan (D-IN), Mary Peltola (D-AK), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA), and Eric Sorensen (D-IL).
GOP lawmakers’ anger over the border crisis took center stage at Biden’s State of the Union address on Thursday last week, with several hoping to hear solutions, but they said they received “blame-shifting.” De La Cruz introduced the resolution on the same day.
