A group of centrist House Democrats is calling on President Joe Biden to bolster security at the southern border just hours after he signed a foreign aid package totaling $95 billion into law.
In a statement published on Wednesday, Reps. Marie Gluesenkamp Pérez (D-Wash.), Jared Golden (D-Maine) Mary Peltola (D-Alaska), Vicente Gonzalez (D-Texas), and Don Davis (D-N.C.) said they “strongly agree” with the National Border Patrol Council—a labor union—that “Congress and the President must act and bring order to the Southern border.”
