Border Democrat blasts Biden’s open-borders immigration policy: ‘The bad guys know how to market this’

A Democratic lawmaker representing a district along the U.S.-Mexico border called out the Biden administration's open-borders immigration policy over the weekend, citing several harmful consequences a border surge could have on American communities.

What are the details?

Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) told Axios on Saturday that the new administration's more lax illegal immigration enforcement measures could end up hurting American businesses, emboldening drug cartels, and leading to greater spread of the coronavirus, overwhelming local hospitals.

"You just can't say, 'Yeah, yeah, let everybody in' — because then we're affected down there at the border," Cuellar told the news outlet.

Cuellar reportedly expressed concerns that smugglers and bad actors would use the shift in immigration policy to expand their dangerous and illegal operations.
