Kamala Harris just released an ad on the border. You read that right. Border Czar Kamala Harris – who has the weakest record on border security in American history – wants to talk about the border.
So let’s talk about it.
Because of President Donald Trump’s successful policies, our border was secure and we had the lowest levels of illegal border crossings in a generation. Enter Kamala Harris. In her words, “the [Harris-Biden] administration’s immigration policies largely involve undoing the previous one’s work.”
So what was the result of the Harris-Biden administration undoing President Trump’s policies? Under Kamala Harris:
- 9.9 million illegal immigrants have crossed the border.
- Roughly 31 tons of fentanyl have crossed the southern border, enough to kill roughly 14.1 billion people. Experts say only 5 to 10 percent of the drugs crossing the border are being intercepted.
- Fentanyl is now the leading cause of death for Americans age 18 to 45. There were 112,000 fatal drug overdoses in 2023, a new record high.
“Border Czar” Harris has only visited the border once as vice president – traveling to a politically-friendly district rather than the epicenter of the crisis – and that was years ago. President Trump went to witness the crisis firsthand just a few months ago, and has been numerous times during his administration and after.
And of course, Kamala’s ad was full of lies – starting with her absurd insistence that she supports security measures like increasing the number of Border Patrol agents. As reported by Fox News’s Bill Melugin, in 2018, Kamala Harris signed a letter that urged the Senate to "reject President Trump’s FY 19 funding request for a costly and ineffective border wall, new Border Patrol agents, and a large increase in U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) personnel and detention beds.”
What’s worse, Harris supports policies that would make the Harris-Biden border invasion even worse. As pointed out by the Team Trump Rapid Response Team, which has all the receipts:
- Kamala supported decriminalizing illegal border crossings.
- Kamala said she wouldn't "treat" illegal aliens as "criminals."
- Kamala backed free, taxpayer-funded health benefits for illegal aliens.
- Kamala compared ICE agents to the KKK.
- Kamala called for "starting [ICE] from scratch."
- Kamala expressed support for sanctuary cities.
- Kamala argued temporarily closing the border violated federal law.
That’s her record, and a lie-filled ad won’t change that.
