NRCC Statement on Kamala Harris Border Visit Stunt

The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) today released the following statement on Kamala Harris’ border visit stunt today:

“Kamala Harris visiting the border today is akin to an arsonist returning to the scene of the crime to admire her handiwork. Her number one enabler, extreme liberal Kirsten Engel, shares the blame for this disaster after repeatedly denying there is a border crisis, votingagainst border security and cozying up to radicals who want to abolish ICE and Border Patrol.” – NRCC Spokesperson Ben Petersen

Background:

Failed border czar Kamala Harris and Kirsten Engel are two peas in a pod whose radical open borders policies fueled the worst border crisis on record. Just listen to them:

On decriminalizing illegal immigration

• HARRIS: “We’re not gonna treat people who are undocumented and cross the border as criminals”
• ENGEL: “We have migrants coming in who want to make a home in our country. These people are like our ancestors coming here”

On whether there is a border crisis

• HARRIS: “We are not facing a crisis”
• ENGEL: Asked “Kirsten, does Arizona have an immigration crisis?,” ENGEL: “No!”

On whether the border is secure

• HARRIS: “The border is secure. We have a secure border.”
• ENGEL: “Do we have a secure border? Absolutely!”

On opposing the border wall

• HARRIS: “The president’s medieval vanity project is not going to stop them”
• ENGEL: “Certainly not walls. I mean, walls are a 13th century solution to a 21st century problem”

On granting mass amnesty to illegal immigrants

• HARRIS: “There’s no path right now for undocumented immigrants toward citizenship. There’s no path. So we have 11, 12 million people … so it is irresponsible to not come up with a plan”
• ENGEL: “Their lives are in limbo because we have not given them some kind of pathway to citizenship and we also need to do that with others who are here in the United States without proper documentation”
