"You know, the situation at the border, and I live at the border, I don't just go visit the border, we want to see law and order at the border. We need to make sure we control our borders, but still be respectful of legal immigration. My parents were born in Mexico. My father became a legal resident and a naturalized citizen. He did it the right way like a lot of Americans did, but we cannot have open borders."
"We've seen that under the Biden administration. It was a mistake and it will be a mistake to have open borders."
Rep. Henry Cuellar appeared on Fox News to discuss his disagreement with some Democratic positions on border policy. When presented with a clip of Texas Senate Democratic nominee James Talarico describing the southern border as needing a giant welcome mat, Cuellar rejected this approach. Living at the border himself, Cuellar emphasized the need for law and order while maintaining respect for legal immigration. He referenced his own parents' immigration experience, noting his father became a naturalized citizen through proper legal channels. Cuellar criticized open border policies implemented during the Biden administration, calling them mistakes. He also appeared on the program following his vote against a war powers resolution limiting Trump's Iran strike authority.
