Hispanic House Democrat joins Republicans in calling for ‘tougher measures at the border’
Fox News
Texas Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar is calling for stricter border security measures even as fellow members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus are calling for Biden to show restraint.
Cuellar said rail operations were being stopped in Eagle Pass and El Paso on Monday morning so Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) could "redirect personnel to process migrants."

"The crisis at our border is seriously affecting legitimate trade," Cuellar wrote the evening prior. "This year alone, vehicle and rail operations have been suspended at multiple ports of entry due to an overwhelming number of migrants, worsening delays for truck drivers transporting goods and costing our economy millions."
