House Democrats Launch 'Democrats For Border Security' Task Force

The new caucus aims to shift the Democratic narrative on immigration, emphasizing border security while respecting immigrant rights.

Over two dozen House Democrats have formed the 'Democrats For Border Security' Task Force, co-chaired by Reps. Henry Cuellar and Tom Suozzi, to advocate for stronger border security measures.
The task force supports the bipartisan Senate border security bill, which proposes significant increases in border personnel and resources for migrant communities.
Members of the task force criticize Republican narratives on border security and aim to present a balanced approach that respects the rights of migrants.
The caucus plans to work with the White House, NGOs, and local leaders to address the immigration crisis and push for comprehensive immigration reform.
Local leaders and citizens express concerns over the current immigration system and the need for legal pathways for migrants.
