14 Democrats Join Republicans In Vote to Condemn Biden for the Border Crisis

The courageous Democrats who broke ranks and aligned themselves with the Republican cause include Representatives Henry Cuellar (D-TX), Jared Golden (D-Maine), Mary Peltola (D-Alaska), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-Wash.), and Jared Moskowitz (D-FL). Notably, these Democrats govern over states directly impacted by the border crisis, revealing their newfound commitment to putting the safety and security of their constituents above partisan loyalty.
The passage of the resolution coincides with the shocking revelation that over 300,000 illegal migrants attempted to breach the southern border in December alone, setting a disturbing all-time record. Customs and Border Patrol have confronted nearly 2.5 million migrants in fiscal year 2023, and the numbers are projected to soar even higher this year. These staggering statistics underscore the dire need for immediate action to secure the border and protect American citizens from the onslaught of illegal immigration.
In a twist of fate, discussions are reportedly underway between the Senate and the White House to broker a border security agreement, leveraging Republican support for sending aid to Ukraine. Democrats are shamelessly attempting to shoehorn a bloated $110 billion aid package, including provisions for Ukraine, Israel, and even aid to Gaza, in a brazen attempt to mask their feeble approach to border security.
House Republicans, led by the resolute Rep. Nathaniel Moran (R-TX), have made it abundantly clear that the imperative of border security is non-negotiable. As Rep. Moran eloquently articulated, it is essential for the President to receive a unified message from both the House Republicans and the Senate, unequivocally emphasizing that border security is paramount for the nation’s national security. Their unwavering commitment to this pivotal issue resonates with the American people, with recent polls revealing that the immigration crisis is the foremost concern for Republican Iowa caucus voters, reflecting the deep-seated anxiety and urgency gripping the nation.
Despite this resounding display of unity and resolve, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has astutely voiced his reservations about advancing comprehensive immigration reform bills at this juncture. Sensibly cautioning against premature legislative actions, Johnson has urged President Biden to abandon his reckless “catch-and-release” policies and adopt a measured approach, utilizing parole for illegal migrants on a “case-by-case basis” only. Republicans are justified in condemning Biden for callously rescinding Trump-era immigration policies, making way for a deluge of illegal aliens to freely encroach upon the sovereign borders of the United States.
The dire state of border security has elicited growing concern among the populace, transcending partisan lines. A recent poll conducted by the esteemed Los Angeles Times and Berkeley has laid bare the overwhelming sentiment among Californians, with a staggering 70% of voters concurring that illegal migrants pose a substantial burden on the United States. This sentiment is echoed in other Democrat-led states such as New York, where an astounding 82% of citizens acknowledge the gravity of the immigration crisis as a pressing national issue.
In closing, the historic passage of the GOP-led resolution resonates as a resounding triumph for advocates of border security and national sovereignty. The bipartisan coalition of Republicans and select Democrats has sent a formidable message to the Biden administration: the time for decisive action to thwart illegal immigration is long overdue. As the nation grapples with the unrelenting influx of illegal aliens, the resolute call to uphold the integrity of America’s borders reverberates as a clarion call for all patriotic citizens to stand united in defense of our homeland.
