Where's Harris? Not the border

Rapid Response

How little does border czar Kamala Harris care about communities struggling during Biden’s border crisis? Instead of visiting the border, she skipped right over it.

She doesn’t need to travel thousands of miles to know Biden’s policies have created a crisis; Harris can simply listen to what Central American leaders have already said.

  • Guatemala’s President Alejandro Giammattei cited Biden’s message as contributing to the surge in human smuggling: “The message changed…the very next day, the coyotes were here organizing groups of children to take them to the United States.”
  • Mexico’s President Andrés Manuel López Obrador blamed Biden for the border crisis, with Mexican officials saying Biden’s policies have created a boom in criminal activity.
  • El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele called policies like government-subsidized healthcare, which both Biden and Harris support, an “incentive” for illegal immigration.

Meanwhile, the security threat at the border is increasing, and even border-state Democrats are calling out the Biden administration for not "listen[ing] to the people that live on the border".\

Many Americans living in border communities are now afraid to leave their homes, but Biden and Harris won’t even admit there is a crisis.

Harris has been border czar for 75 days – it’s way past time for her to finally visit the border. Check out the RNC’s statement slamming Biden and Harris for creating the border crisis.
