Gluesenkamp Perez added that Biden should reinstate "Remain in Mexico," a policy that requires migrants seeking asylum in America to wait in Mexico while their application is waiting approval.
"We don’t need more political grandstanding," Gluesenkamp Perez said. "The Administration needs to do its job, and Congress needs to pass border security legislation that reflects our values and keeps us safe."
Another Democrat backing the GOP-led resolution, Rep. Eric Sorensen, D-Ill., agreed that "securing our border and addressing immigration challenges is a priority for me as well as for my constituents in Central and Northwestern Illinois" and that "we need to be doing a lot more to fix our broken immigration system, which is why I went to the southern border to see firsthand the work we have in front of us."

The Biden administration has said that it is dealing with a hemisphere-wide crisis that needs additional funding and fundamental reforms by Congress to what it says is a "broken" immigration system. It claims to have combined consequences for illegal entry with broader pathways for legal migration and that those policies have shown results.
The administration has rejected claims by Republicans that it has pushed "open border" policies and has pointed to over 500,000 removals or returns since last May. President Biden, as well as other administration officials, have called for the passage of a bipartisan Senate package unveiled earlier this year.

Biden has accused Republicans of making the crisis worse by refusing to pass a bipartisan Senate border package, which combines additional funding with a mechanism to limit entries when a certain number of encounters has been reached. Conservatives have said that package would not fix the crisis, and have urged instead the passage of a House GOP bill that passed the chamber last year."

"The U.S. Senate need to reconsider this bill and those senators who oppose it need to set politics aside and pass it on the merits, not on whether it's going to benefit one party or another party," Biden said in February.
