Crisis 2x as bad as when Dems visited the border

Rapid Response

Remember when Kamala Harris, Chuck Schumer, and countless other Democrats visited the border and border facilities in 2019? In fact, that famous picture of Harris waving to someone in the distance was at a border facility… you know, the type Harris hasn’t visited in OVER A YEAR.

So let’s compare 2019, when Democrats visited the border, to Biden’s border crisis today.

  • June FY 2022
    • Illegal immigrant encounters: 207,416
    • Unaccompanied children encountered: 15,271
  • June FY 2019
    • Illegal immigrant encounters: 104,311
    • Unaccompanied children encountered: 7,678

The crisis has almost DOUBLED in magnitude under Joe Biden. So where is the Democrats’ outrage now? Where is border czar Kamala Harris? Why won’t Joe Biden visit the border?

If Biden and Harris want to so thoroughly abdicate their responsibilities, they should abdicate their offices.
