Henry Cuellar (D-TX) warned in multiple interviews this week that the Biden administration has a serious problem with the message they are broadcasting to the world, even as Biden attempted to sound tough in recent interview by telling migrants not to come to the United States. Mexico has also recently expressed concern that Biden is fueling illegal immigration and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/mexico-worried-that-biden-is-stoking-illegal-immigration\">creating business for the drug cartels<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, first of all, if you tell people \u2018don\u2019t come now, come later,\u2019 I mean we got to have a more concise, clear message and say, you know, you can\u2019t \u2026 come if you don\u2019t do this correctly,\u201d Cuellar said. \u201cMessage number one from the administration has to be changed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cuellar said it signals to migrants they can come when they see pictures on social media of people crossing rivers. \u201cAnd the third message is what I call the criminal organization, the criminal organization are aggressively marketing it, because the more people they come and get, the more money they make,\u201d Cuellar said. \u201cSo the message from administration is not sinking in over there. But when they see people coming across or the criminal organizations that are marketing, that\u2019s what they\u2019re hearing down there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During a CNN interview this week, Rep. Raul Ruiz (D-CA) was asked,&nbsp;\u201cWhen it comes to immigration, President Biden saying very clearly in an interview, \u2018don\u2019t come here\u2019 to migrants. Is that enough?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know, no, that\u2019s not enough,\u201d Ruiz responded. \u201cI mean, one is it\u2019s very important that people realize that we\u2019re in the middle of a pandemic and that it\u2019s not safe for them, especially with the cartels and the coyotes that are taking advantage of them and re-traumatizing them during the journey.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"5.7413793103448\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Democrat Rep.

The administration\u2019s message has to be better. You can\u2019t say, \u2018Don\u2019t come now, come later.\u2019 That\u2019s a bad message. It\u2019s got to be clear and concise. Don\u2019t come in here illegally, that should be the message. Message number two is what I call the network of friends and family. \u2018Hey, Pedro, I was able to come over, you ought to come over,\u2019 and they see images like what you\u2019re playing right now. People coming across. Yeah, so of course they\u2019re going to come here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThird message, real quickly, the criminal organizations,\u201d Cuellar added. \u201cThat is a powerful message because they charge an average of $6,000. Imagine we had 100,000 people that crossed in February, do the math that $600 million dollars that they made, so they got an incentive to recruit, aggressively recruit. I just got off the phone with somebody in Mexico and they went over some things. It\u2019s exactly what I\u2019m telling you. We got to go after the, cut off the money that are going to the drug cartels, otherwise we feed them and we feed them and we feed them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Vincente Gonzalez (D-TX) said what is currently happening on the border under Biden\u2019s leadership \u201ccannot be the norm\u201d and that the mixed messaging coming from the administration was \u201cvery concerning.\u201d Gonzalez also said that Biden needs to put a plan in place that does not \u201cincentivize\u201d illegal immigration.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"6.457399103139\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Border State Dem Rep Vicente Gonzalez: Biden\u2019s \u201cvery concerning\u201d messaging\/agenda on the border \u201ccannot be the norm\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/rpeUAAvdVh\">https:\/\/t.co\/rpeUAAvdVh<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/9pAKmyEhvi\">pic.twitter.com\/9pAKmyEhvi<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 RNC Research (@RNCResearch) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RNCResearch\/status\/1371092289947365388?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 14, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"6.3127962085308\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Dem Rep.
