WASHINGTON D.C. (WSAU) – The U.S. House of Representatives voted on Thursday morning to condemn Vice President Kamala Harris for the crisis at the U.S. southern border after being named “border czar” by President Biden in 2021.
The Post Millennial reports that the House GOP passed the resolution denouncing Vice President Kamala Harris’s border policy with the support of six Democrats, 220-196. Reps. Mary Peltola, Jared Golden, Marie Perez, Yadira Caraveo, Don Davis, and Rep. Henry Cuellar were the six Democrats who supported the measure.
“Today my resolution condemning Kamala Harris for her role as Joe Biden’s open border czar passed the House. Let me be clear: Harris and every elected Democrat own this historic border crisis that has turned every community into a border community. It is time that we return to President Donald Trump’s border security policies that put the safety of American citizens first,” New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik said on X after the resolution had passed.
House Majority Whip Tom Emmer told Fox News on Wednesday that attempts to erase Harris’s struggles to maintain the U.S. southern border will not go unchecked, saying, “The mainstream media can try to rewrite history all they want, but the American people know the truth, and our House Republican majority will remind them. Kamala Harris is Biden’s border czar, and the unprecedented invasion at our borders is hers to own.”
According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), there was a 32% drop in migrant crossings for June, with 30,771 migrants apprehended between ports of entry. This marks the lowest monthly apprehensions since January 2021. Overall, the U.S. is expected to see 3.8 million illegal migrants enter the U.S. in 2024 alone.
