Biden Betrayed by D.C. Democrats – They Teamed Up with GOP to Crush Joe with New Resolution
Biden Betrayed by D.C. Democrats – They Teamed Up with GOP to Crush Joe with New Resolution

Joe Biden just took a proverbial slap to the face from his fellow Democrats in Congress. The grumpy old man was likely awakened from a nap after learning what his liberal allies did to him.

Biden has throughout his tenure in office enjoyed unquestioning support from Democrats in Congress. Whatever Democrats want to pass he supports, and whatever he wants Democrats bow down and kiss the ring to get it done.

But not this time. In this instance Biden was slammed with the reality that some Democrats appear to have deep inside them a desire to do what is right for the American people when it comes to the border crisis.

From the Washington Examiner:
The House passed a resolution condemning the Biden administration’s border policies on Tuesday, rebuking President Joe Biden for “refusing” to use executive authority to stop the illegal flow of immigrants crossing the southern border.

House Republicans overwhelmingly voted in favor of the resolution, passing it 226 to 193. Fourteen House Democrats voted in support of the resolution, which is the latest step taken by GOP lawmakers to blast Biden for his perceived lack of accountability when it comes to border security.

The measure was championed by Rep. Monica De La Cruz (R-TX) whose district is 90% Hispanic. She accused Biden and his administration of limiting expedited removal. Republicans believe this policy “only incentivizes illegal immigration and worsens the border crisis.”

“The current state of our nation’s border security is unsustainable,” De La Cruz said on Tuesday. “The policies put forth by the Biden administration have resulted in the worst border security crisis in our nation’s history, endangering our communities and straining our resources.”

The GOP-led resolution was backed by Representatives Yadira Caraveo (D-CO), Angie Craig (D-MN), Henry Cuellar (D-TX), Sharice Davids (D-KS), Don Davis (D-NC), Jared Golden (D-ME), Steven Horsford (D-NV), Greg Landsman (D-OH), Susie Lee (D-NV), Jared Moskowitz (D-FL), Frank Mrvan (D-IN), Mary Peltola (D-AK), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA), and Eric Sorensen (D-IL).

De La Cruz went on to say that the Biden administration needs to take decisive action to solve the crisis along the U.S. border. She wants Biden and team to “immediately” regain control of the border and “protect the interests of the American people.”

Biden faced increased scrutiny over the border crisis prior to his State of the Union address before Congress last week. His angry tirade was muffled under the shadow of the brutal murder of Laken Riley, a nursing student allegedly killed by a Venezuelan illegal immigrant.

The House passed the Laken Riley Act, which forces immigration officials to detain immigrants charged with crimes such as burglary or theft, just hours before the president’s speech. GOP lawmakers are also fighting efforts by Democrats to pass expensive legislation providing more funding for Ukraine without shoring up funds for border protection.

House Speaker Mike Johnson doesn’t appear interested in bringing to a floor vote a borderless Ukraine bill passed in the Senate. GOP leadership has called the bill “dead on arrival.”

Key Takeaways:

  • House Democrats turned on Biden to pass a GOP resolution condemning border policies.
  • Texas Rep. Monica De La Cruz said Biden needs to act immediately to protect Americans.
  • Fourteen House Democrats joined Republicans to condemn Biden’s actions at the border.
