Harris to Uphold Biden's Asylum Policies

U.S. Representative Tony Gonzales (R-TX) has criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for her handling of border policies during an exclusive interview with Breitbart Texas. Gonzales asserts that Harris cannot escape the consequences of the Biden-Harris administration's border strategies, which he claims have led to increased violence and chaos in border states like Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, and California. He emphasized that Harris's tenure as "Border Czar" has been ineffective, stating, “I’ve seen what she has done at the border... which is nothing.” Gonzales, whose district encompasses a significant portion of the Texas-Mexico border, argues that the administration's failure to accurately report migrant entries and the use of unauthorized programs for entry have exacerbated the situation. He pointed out that the Border Patrol's apprehension numbers have reached historic highs under the Biden-Harris administration, highlighting the need for transparency regarding migrant admissions. He believes it is crucial to remind voters of the administration's shortcomings as the election approaches. In a related development, Harris's campaign chief, Julie Chávez Rodríguez, indicated that if elected, Harris would likely continue President Biden's asylum policies, which have reportedly led to a decrease in migrant crossings. This stance has drawn criticism from Republicans, who label Harris as the "border czar" and question her commitment to addressing immigration issues. Chávez Rodríguez defended Harris's focus on finding "real solutions" to border challenges, despite previous bipartisan efforts failing in the Senate. As the political landscape shifts with Biden's endorsement of Harris for the Democratic nomination, the focus on immigration and border security remains a pivotal issue for both parties leading into the upcoming elections.
