A Texas Democrat who has been critical of the White House’s handling of the border crisis on Thursday called for President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris to visit the southern border in earnest, saying they should “come in and, with all due respect, not do a staged visit.”
Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) made the remarks in an interview on MSNBC, in which he struck a similar tone as when he said in May that the Biden administration was too fixated on the optics of its response to the border surge and was playing a “shell game” by shifting unaccompanied minors “from one tent to another” rather than actually addressing the underlying problem.
