President Biden made his first visit to the border in over a year, amidst record numbers of migrant crossings. Texas Congressman Henry Cuellar, representing a border district, has long advocated for a more aggressive approach to immigration. He believes Democrats should not cede the narrative to Republicans and stresses the importance of strong border security while respecting immigrant rights.
Cuellar acknowledges a shift in White House policy, from humanitarian parole to potential asylum restrictions reminiscent of the Trump era. He urges the President to take legal actions within the law to address the border crisis, emphasizing the need for increased funding for judges, asylum officers, and border patrol technology.
