Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) said it is wrong for people to be “demonizing” Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, suggesting “a balance” should be found in the deportation efforts.

Gonzales, the Republican Congressional Hispanic Conference chairman, appeared on CBS’s Face the Nation on Sunday after Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), who said the Biden administration’s handling of border security was “not working.” However, the senator said the nation’s response to illegal immigration has “swung drastically in another direction,” claiming this new response is not what U.S. citizens want.
