A group of 23 Republican lawmakers, led by Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), on Wednesday introduced a resolution to censure President Joe Biden for what they say has been his “dereliction of duty” at the U.S.-Mexico border, and a failure to enforce border security and immigration laws.

“My censure resolution holds President Biden accountable for his actions—or lack thereof—at the border,” Boebert said in a statement. “Biden has refused to enforce the laws securing our border, he has refused to visit our border, his border czar Kamala has refused to visit the border, and his Secretary of Homeland Security is lying to the American people by saying that our border is closed.”
