WASHINGTON, D.C – U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, today hammered Border Czar Kamala Harris’s disastrous, dangerous, and deadly open border polices.
Sen. Barrasso said:
“Kamala Harris is doing everything she can to run and hide from her terrible position on the border.
“Why? Well, because she understands that the American people completely reject the Biden-Harris Open Border policies. She wants people to forget that she’s the one that orchestrated and oversaw the disaster at our southern border.
“Her failures have been costly and deadly. Because of her failures, American citizens have been raped and murdered by illegal immigrants. Because of her failures, fentanyl continues to flow across the southern border.
“Now she pretends that she wants to secure the border. Nothing could be further from the truth. She’s the one that started this stampede of illegal immigrants – those from criminal cartels, the drug dealers, the terror suspects. She stood and cheered when Joe Biden stopped building the wall that was already in the middle of being constructed. She stood in support when Joe Biden signed 94 executive orders, throwing open the border. For four years, she’s done everything she can to undermine our border laws.
“Now, now that 10 million illegal immigrants have come into the country, now that you’ve seen the videos of criminal gangs taking over apartment complexes and parts of cities, now that she came to the Senate floor and broke the tie to send American taxpayer dollar checks, stimulus checks, to illegal immigrants, now all of a sudden she says she wants to get tough on the border.
“She doesn’t. She’s had four years to do it. She’s refused. And if she’s elected President of the United States, she will never secure the border.”
