A group of more than 50 House Republicans have accused President Joe Biden of treating the U.S.-Mexico border as a “political game” after he signed a flurry of executive orders that dismantled the Trump administration’s border security measures.

In a letter (pdf) to the president Tuesday, the group of 51 Republicans led by Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas), suggested the president is being blinded by “ideology” as they warned of an escalating “crisis” of illegal migration at the southern border.
