The House voted to adopt a resolution Tuesday claiming that President Joe Biden has created the ‘worst border security crisis’ the country has ever experienced.
The resolution passed the House on a vote 226 – 193. Notably, 14 Democrats voted in favor of the resolution.
Democrat Reps. Jared Moskowitz, Henry Cuellar, Jared Golden and Mary Peltolta were among those who voted in favor of the resolution.
The measure specifically denounced the Biden administration’s border policies and claimed he has incentivized over 9.3 million illegal migrants to arrive at the U.S. southern border since he took office.
It also blamed Department of Homeland Security Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas for helping Biden to create ‘the worst border security crisis in the Nation’s history.’
Mayorkas was impeached last month by the House for his handling of the U.S.-Mexico border.
The resolution was written by Rep. Monica De La Cruz, R-Texas, who represents a large swath of the U.S.-Mexico border.
‘This resolution once again brings to light a harrowing reality that under President Biden and Secretary Mayorkas’ watch our nation has witnessed the worst border crisis in American history,’ De La Cruz said on the House floor Tuesday.
