WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) released the following statement in response to Vice President Kamala Harris’ trip to Douglas, Arizona, her first visit to the border in more than three years despite record-breaking illegal immigration caused by the Biden-Harris administration’s policies:

“It is downright hypocritical that almost four years into the Biden-Harris administration and weeks before the election, ‘Border Czar’ Kamala Harris now decides to visit the border for only the second time to claim she cares when it’s her own policies that have done so much damage to these communities and our nation.”

“Millions of migrants have streamed across the border illegally, including more than 500,000 unaccompanied children, many of whom were placed with sponsors and then lost by this administration. Dangerous drugs have continued to flow into the country as a result of our uncontrolled border, and drugs like fentanyl have killed more than 100,000 of our fellow Americans in just one year alone.”

“This border trip is four years too late, and the American people can see right through Harris’ attempt to fool them and escape culpability for her historic border crisis.”
