A group of House Democrats helped pass a Republican-led resolution on Wednesday condemning President Joe Biden’s immigration policies, marking the latest instance of dissent within the president’s own party as the November election approaches.

Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas), whose congressional district covers over 800 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border, introduced the resolution. It denounced President Biden and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for creating “the worst border security crisis in the Nation’s history” by systematically doing away with “effective border security measures and interior immigration enforcement” inherited from the previous administration.
