Senator Cornyn

On Fox, Cornyn Discusses Harris’ Border Flip-Flop

August 28, 2024

[Harris] takes a radically permissive position or approach to illegal immigration, and then when she realizes this isn't to her political advantage when she's now the Democratic nominee, she seems like she is simpatico with President Trump. Both can’t be true.

This is clearly an opportunistic flip-flop.

She will say or do anything she needs to do in order to win this election, and voters need to beware.

ROUND ROCK – Yesterday on Fox News’ Your World with Neil Cavuto, U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) discussed his visit to the border in McAllen, Texas, earlier this week, praised the ruling of a federal judge in Texas who paused the Biden administration’s “parole in place” program for spouses of U.S. citizens, and slammed Vice President Harris for flip-flopping on border security ahead of the election. Excerpts of Sen. Cornyn’s remarks are below, and video can be found here.

“The U.S. government, under the Biden-Harris administration, is essentially providing a ticket for people into the United States.”

“[There’s] a tradition of Democratic presidents, now President Biden, overreaching their authority under the law under the guise of executive orders. So I think that the court is entirely correct in hitting the pause button on this.”

“When [VP Harris] is running for president in the Democratic primary, she takes a radically permissive position or approach to illegal immigration, and then when she realizes this isn’t to her political advantage when she’s now the Democratic nominee, she seems like she is simpatico with President Trump. Both can’t be true.”

“She’s just an opportunist, saying what she think she needs to say in order to get elected.” 

“This is clearly an opportunistic flip-flop, and she will say or do anything she needs to do in order to win this election, and I think the voters need to beware of that.”
