"Hispanic House Democrat Joins Republicans in Urging Tougher Border Measures as US Suspends Rail Operations Amid Migrant Surge"

Rep. Henry Cuellar, a House Democrat from Texas, has broken from the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) to call for "tougher" border security measures in response to the ongoing migrant crisis. Cuellar's statement comes after U.S. officials suspended railway operations between Texas and Mexico in two cities due to the overwhelming number of migrants. Cuellar emphasized the negative impact on legitimate trade and the economy, urging for more federal resources and tougher measures at the border. Meanwhile, Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) accused smugglers of using freight trains to bring people into the U.S. illegally. The CHC, in contrast, has urged President Biden to show restraint in managing the border crisis and not to advance Trump-era immigration policies.

Border Negotiations: Congressional Hispanic Caucus Expresses Frustrations in Meeting with White House

The Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) expressed their frustrations during a Zoom meeting with White House officials, including Chief of Staff Jeff Zients and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, over concerns that the administration would agree to an immigration deal that they found unacceptable. The CHC requested the meeting to weigh in before the deal was finalized, as they felt the White House was not listening to their concerns. The White House assured the CHC that progress had been made on a framework but acknowledged that important policy decisions were still being worked through. Democrats and Republicans remain far apart on key issues, including refugee admissions, migrant detention, and presidential powers to expel migrants. The Senate has delayed its holiday recess to continue negotiations, while the House has left until the new year.

Biden's Speech Mishap: Confusion between Congressional Black and Hispanic Caucuses

President Biden mistakenly praised the "Congressional Black Caucus" during a speech to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, causing confusion and raising eyebrows. This gaffe comes after previous verbal missteps, including implying that African American and Hispanic workers lack high school diplomas. Despite boasting about his administration's achievements for the Hispanic community, a June poll shows that nearly two-thirds of Hispanic voters disapprove of Biden's job performance as president.
