A Democratic lawmaker has joined the chorus of Republicans upset with President Joe Biden’s immigration policies, saying his Texas district would be severely affected.

Vicente Gonzalez (D-Texas) said on March 1 during an appearance on CNN, as border arrivals have spiked after dropping precipitously during the Trump administration.
