A group of House Democrats have created a task force focused on securing the southern border, according to a report from NBC News.
The “Democrats for Border Security” task force is co-chaired by Rep. Henry Cuellar (TX) and Rep. Tom Suozzi (NY). Suozzi reportedly flipped a Republican-held district after he campaigned on toughening U.S. immigration laws (via NBC):
One thing they have in common: They're fed up with the party's leftward turn on immigration over the last decade and want a course change to emphasize enforcement. Cuellar's calls for tougher immigration laws date back years. Then Suozzi successfully deployed it in the suburbs of New York. They both say Democrats must do the same to win competitive House districts and defeat former President Donald Trump this November.

A late-January NBC News poll found that Trump has a 35-point advantage over Biden among voters asked who they believe would do a better job at "securing the border and controlling immigration."
