This isn’t funny

When NBC’s Lester Holt pressed Kamala Harris yesterday on why she still hadn’t been to the U.S.-Mexico border to see the crisis firsthand, she tried to laugh it off and say “she hasn’t been to Europe either.”

While Kamala Harris and the Biden administration may think it’s a laughing matter, Americans living near the border don’t.

Here are some recent headlines about how the border crisis is negatively impacting border communities:

KXAN: Small South Texas towns overwhelmed by immigration influx

Washington Post: In South Texas, frustration with high-speed chases, increased crime exacerbates political tensions

CNN: In Arizona, Border Patrol encounters new tactics in migrants’ bid to cross into US

San Diego Union Tribune: A boat packed with 32 people shows how migrant smugglers shifted to the sea

NRCC Comment: “While Kamala Harris jokes about not visiting the U.S.-Mexico border, Americans in border communities are suffering through the border crisis Democrats created every single day.” –NRCC Spokeswoman Torunn Sinclair
