Washington, D.C. – Today, Vice President Kamala Harris travels to Texas after 93 days of being the Border Crisis Czar to “check the box” and try to salvage a crisis that has badly slipped from her grasp.
This politically safe trip will be a rare sighting for a Border Czar who has been largely absent on this issue since assuming the responsibility. In fact, when she landed on the tarmac in Texas earlier today, she had no answer to the basic question of why it took three months for a border visit?
Statement from NRSC Communications Director Chris Hartline: “Like many other aspects of her Vice Presidency, Kamala Harris’ visit to Texas is shaping up to be all show and no substance. Along the border, elected officials of both parties have been crying out for help. Unfortunately, instead of utilizing effective Trump-era immigration policies, Vice President Harris and President Biden have scrapped them, pouring gas on the fire and endangered the lives of both Americans and migrants. We are sure that border state Senate Democrats like Mark Kelly are watching this trip with dreadful anticipation.”
