Steve Cortes, founder of the League of American Workers, said Vice President Kamala Harris "failed miserably as the Border Czar" in light of ad released by Restoration PAC which detailed the impact of the border and immigration during her administration.
"Kamala failed miserably as the Border Czar," Cortes said in a post on X regarding the ad. "Countless innocent Americans have been raped, attacked, and murdered because of her mismanagement. Now Kamala wants a promotion? No way."
The minute long ad included clips of Harris talking about her lack of visits to the border. "A 12 year old girl in Texas, a mother of five in Maryland, a nursing student in Georgia," the ad said. "All savagely murdered by those Biden and Harris let in to our country unlawfully."
Biden announced on March 24, 2021 his appointment of Harris “to lead efforts to stamp migration across the U.S.-Mexico border.”
"This new surge we’re dealing with now started with the last administration, but it’s our responsibility to deal with it humanely and to stop what’s happening," said Biden. "This increase has been consequential, but the vice president’s agreed – among the multiple other things I have her leading and I appreciate it – agreed to lead our diplomatic effort and work with those nations to accept the returnees and enhance migration enforcement at their borders."
Since Harris’ appointment, the “surge” of illegal aliens crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, particularly the Arizona portion, has grown worse.
There have been 406,441 total encounters in the Tucson Sector during fiscal year 2024, with 225,725 of these encounters being from citizens of Mexico, 75,610 from Guatemala, 3,096 from Honduras, 2,892 from El Salvador, and 99,118 from citizens from other countries.
During fiscal year 2024 to date, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has arrested 35,178 illegal aliens who have previous criminal convictions or who are wanted by law enforcement.
That’s according to an analysis of CBP Data conducted by Tucson Standard.
13.828 of these arrests have been made by the U.S. Border Patrol, and 21,350 of these arrests have been made by the CBP’s Office of Field Operations. The CBP’s 2024 fiscal year runs from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024.
The Standard reported on July 1 an analysis of arrests of illegal aliens in the month of June, which included arrests of rapists, murders, and sex criminals.
