Democrat Reps. Yadira D. Caraveo of Colorado, Henry Cuellar of Texas, Don Davis of North Carolina, Jared Golden of Maine, Mary Peltola of Alaska and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington.all joined Republicans in supporting the motion, which passed by a majority of 220-196.
“It took Harris 93 days as the border czar before finally visiting the southern border on June 25, 2021,” the resolution states. “President Biden’s and Border Czar Harris’s far left Democrat open border policies are to blame for this historic crisis.”

“The result of her inaction has been record high illegal crossings, overwhelmed communities, and an evisceration of the rule of law,” added House Spekaer Mike Johnson.
However, The Hill notes that most of the aforementioned Democrats are in competitive races, meaning their vote may me more a political calculation than principled opposition.
The White House, meanwhile, sough to defend its abysmal record by putting out a fact sheet pointing out that border crossings have been down from their previous record highs over the past few months.
“While the President’s action has led to significant results, our nation’s immigration system requires Congressional action to provide needed resources and additional authorities,” the statement read.
