Cuellar: I intend to bring Biden cabinet members to South Texas border region
LAREDO, Texas U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar says he intends to bring at least four cabinet secretaries to the South Texas border region once President-elect Biden is sworn into office.
Cuellar is critical of the way President Trumps cabinet secretaries, when visiting the border region, would not meet with the business community or environmental leaders. Instead, he said, they only focused on the border wall, and border security issues.
The four cabinet secretaries are Deb Haaland, Bidens pick for interior secretary, Xavier Becerra, who is set to be health and human services secretary, Marcia L. Fudge, who has been chosen to run housing and urban development, and Alejandro Mayorkas, the president-elects nominee to run homeland security.
All four will need to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate in order to take up their posts.
