House Republicans pushed through a resolution on Thursday criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris for her record as the administration’s “border czar” in a move to pivot their campaign talking points away from President Biden. Six Democrats facing difficult elections this fall also supported the measure.
The resolution, introduced by House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik, condemned Ms. Harris for what it called her “failure” to secure the U.S.-Mexico border in her role delegated by Mr. Biden to handle the border crisis.
Ms. Stefanik, New York Republican, argued that Ms. Harris had failed by “every metric” to secure the border and instead pushed policies that benefited illegal immigrants rather than U.S. citizens.
She contended that Ms. Harris was solely responsible for the Biden administration’s handling of the border and tied her to Mr. Biden’s executive actions that reversed many of former President Donald Trump’s border policies.
“No matter what congressional district you go to, the No. 1 issue facing Americans is Kamala Harris’ open border crisis,” Ms. Stefanik said. “The American people deserve elected officials who understand the gravity of the crisis at the border.”
Every House Republican, joined by the half-dozen Democrats, voted in favor of her resolution, which passed on a 220-to-196 vote. The six Democrats who voted in favor of legislation are facing tough reelections in swing districts.
The six Democrats who voted in favor of the measure — Reps. Jared Golden of Maine, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington, Yadira Caraveo of Colorado, Don Davis of North Carolina, Mary Peltola of Alaska and Henry Cuellar of Texas — are all in tough bids for reelection. --->READ MORE HERE
House lawmakers on a bipartisan basis passed a resolution Thursday “strongly condemning” Vice President Kamala Harris and the Biden administration for botching the US border crisis.
The resolution, introduced by House Republican conference chairwoman Elise Stefanik, was approved in a 220-196 vote and ripped “border czar” Harris and President Biden for failing to “understand the gravity of the crisis at the border” and “fix” it.
At least six Democrats — Reps. Yadira Caraveo of Colorado, Henry Cuellar of Texas, Don Davis of North Carolina, Jared Golden of Maine, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington and Mary Peltola of Alaska — voted to condemn their party’s now-presumptive nominee for making a mess of migration. Harris gained that status after Biden, 81, withdrew from the 2024 race on Sunday.
Another 214 Republicans voted with the Democratic detractors. All of the “nay” votes came from the rest of the House Democratic caucus.
“Harris and every elected Democrat owns this historic border crisis that has turned every community into a border community,” said Stefanik (R-NY). “It is time that we return to President Donald Trump’s border security policies that put the safety of American citizens first.”
“At our Northern Border in the Swanton Sector, I have seen firsthand with the Border Patrol the disastrous consequences of Kamala Harris’ failed Far Left open border agenda which caused a historic surge in illegal crossings like we have never seen at our Northern Border before including individuals on the terrorist watchlist,” added Stefanik, whose district covers upstate New York.
“Kamala Harris didn’t just create a national security crisis, but a humanitarian crisis that has endangered the lives of millions. House Republicans will secure the border,” she declared. --->READ MORE HEREFollow link below to a relevant story:
