The Biden administration’s border and immigration policies have his base of Democrat supporters divided, and Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) warned the president could lose support within his party if he doesn’t find a way to more rapidly process and deport illegal immigrants.

In an interview with CNN on Wednesday, Mr. Cuellar said the Biden administration and many members of Congress are “listening too much to the immigration activists” but they haven’t listened enough to people from border communities like his, which includes Laredo, Texas, and other portions of the U.S.-Mexico border.
