House Republicans passed a resolution condemning Vice President Kamala Harris for her handling of the U.S. border with Mexico, echoing criticism from former President Donald Trump. The resolution, largely symbolic, highlighted Harris’s role in addressing root causes of migration and was supported by all House Republicans and six Democrats. Despite efforts to reduce illegal crossings, Republicans say Harris did not do enough to secure the border. The resolution called for officials who will address the border crisis effectively.
The House vote signaled some Democrats’ dissatisfaction with Harris’s performance, especially in battleground districts. While some Democrats defended her efforts to address migration issues, others criticized the lack of progress in securing the border. Harris was tasked with overseeing diplomatic efforts in Northern Triangle countries to address the root causes of migration and attract investments to reduce migration.
However, Democratic leaders dismissed the resolution as fake and fraudulent, arguing that Harris was never appointed as a “border czar.” Some Democrats highlighted Harris’s success in securing investments for the region and her potential strengths in dealing with border security issues. Overall, the resolution reflects the ongoing political debate surrounding immigration and border security in the Biden administration.
