‘Missing at the Border’ Republicans Call VP Harris Out for Lack of Border Visits in Epic Way

House Republicans slammed Vice President Kamala Harris for her lack of attention regarding the border crisis facing our country in a hilarious way. More than three weeks after President Biden entrusted Harris to lead efforts regarding the massive immigration surge and she hasn’t even bothered to travel to the border herself despite constant urges from Republicans. During a news conference, House Republicans crafted a milk carton with Harris’s face to display that she has been “missing” from the border.

Fox News reports:

House Minority Whip Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., stressed the need for Harris to go to the border to observe for herself the consequences of the Biden administration’s policies, such as the overcrowding of unaccompanied migrant children in federal facilities.

“If she’s the vice president of the United States and the president put her in charge of this, Vice President Harris needs to go down to the border and see this for herself,” Scalise said during a Wednesday news conference. “Because maybe she would then encourage President Biden to reverse his policies that have failed.”

The current conditions include having more than 1,300 children at the Freeman Coliseum in Texas, which Gov. Greg Abbott called on Biden to shut down after the Department of Health and Human Services and the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services received complaints of child abuse taking place there. Abbott said this included allegations of sexual assault, a failure to separate children infected with COVID-19 from others, children not eating, and an insufficient number of staffers.

Harris announced Wednesday that she will visit Mexico and Guatemala. The vice president was asked Wednesday by reporters at a Northern Triangle security roundtable about whether she would visit the border itself and she did not answer. She told the press pool that her job is to focus on the root causes of the migration problem.

Multiple Republican lawmakers have been to the border to witness the devastating crisis firsthand however Democrats have attempted to downplay the surge of immigrants. Maybe now Biden and Harris will start paying some attention to the crisis they’ve created but it’s unlikely.
