Cuellar says Biden needs to ramp up border enforcement amid migrant dispute

Washington — Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas on Sunday urged President Biden to step up enforcement of immigration laws as Republican governors this week ramped up their confrontation with the administration over its border strategy by transporting migrants released from federal custody to Democratic-run cities.
"By sending folks off to New York and Chicago, it does bring attention, but we want to focus more on solutions on the border," Cuellar, whose district includes areas along the U.S.-Mexico border, said in an interview on "Face the Nation." "We've got to give Border Patrol, we've got to give ICE, Homeland Security, the equipment — you know, making sure they have everything where they can enforce the law, because if we don't have repercussions at the border, we're going to continue getting 8,000 people a day."
