Texas Rep. Henry Cuellar became the sixth House Democrat to join legislation stopping the end of Title 42
Representative Henry Cuellar became the latest Democrat to join bipartisan legislation against President Joe Biden ending Title 42, which allowed for immediate expulsion of illegal immigrants during the coronavirus health emergency.
Cuellar's move now makes six House and five Senate Democrats who oppose lifting the pandemic-era rule.
'Title 42 should not be lifted,' Cuellar told Fox News when announcing he signed onto the legislation, claiming if his party doesn't 'stand up and do the right thing, they're going to be hit hard by the Republicans' in the 2022 midterm elections.
'But some of us are standing up and saying this is the right thing to do for the border,' the Texas congressman said of keeping Title 42 in play.
