The Harsh Reality of the Biden-Harris Border Crisis

Press Release

“After 75 days in charge of the Biden Border Crisis, Kamala Harris still refuses to visit the border. Instead of addressing firsthand the human costs of the disastrous Biden administration border policies, Kamala is yet again ignoring the millions of Americans affected. Kamala's meetings in Mexico and Guatemala are about shifting blame away from the Biden administration, not solving the crisis she and Biden created. Republicans will continue to visit and meet with the residents, law enforcement officers, and elected officials along the southern border, putting the American people and our communities first.” – RNC Hispanic Communications Director Jaime Florez.

The Harsh Reality of the Biden-Harris Border Crisis:
After 75 days of leading the administration’s response to the border crisis, Harris has failed on every front.

  • U.S. intelligence officials are sounding the alarm that Biden’s open border policies are creating a terrorist threat.

Illegal border crossings are now at a 21-year high, but Joe Biden and Kamala Harris continue to ignore the crisis they created at our southern border.

  • Despite this urgent crisis, Biden’s budget would cut Customs and Border Protection funding – now is the time to empower the border security agents who keep us safe. Why is Biden doing the opposite? 

Just a few months into this year, Customs and Border Protection seized more deadly fentanyl at the southern border than they seized in all of 2020.

  • Border policy is a matter of life and death – tens of thousands of Americans die from fentanyl overdoses every year.

Bottom Line: Republicans are holding the Biden-Harris administration accountable for squandering the strong and secure border inherited from the Trump administration, and in less than 200 days in office, ultimately reversing the progress of the past four years.
