6 House Democrats Vote To Condemn Harris

On Thursday, six House Democrats voted alongside Republicans to condemn “border czar” Kamala Harris over her failure to secure the United States’ southern border with Mexico.

The resolution was sponsored by GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (R-NY) and put to a vote on the House floor.

Since Biden’s decision to end his re-election campaign there’s been a dramatic push by the legacy media to neutralize one of Harris’ biggest vulnerabilities: her longstanding “border czar” label.

Harris was widely dubbed the “border czar” after President Biden tasked her in March 2021 to address the root causes of mass migration from Central and South America.

The term was widely used by her critics and by multiple news organizations, however, her recent ascension has caused a notable change throughout media outlets.

CNN had a similar shift. CNN correspondent Ed Lavandera and CNN commentator Alyssa Farah Griffin both referred to Harris as the “border czar” in 2021 and 2023, respectively. 

This week, the network repeatedly rebuked the label. 

“The Biden team didn’t declare her the border czar,” CNN’s Kasie Hunt said Wednesday morning. “They wanted her to work on kind of the root causes of immigration.”

“What [former President Trump] said about Harris and immigration was not true. She was never appointed border czar,” fellow CNN anchor John Berman also said Wednesday. 

Axios went viral Wednesday with its report about the “border confusion” that has haunted Harris, telling readers “the Trump campaign and Republicans have tagged Harris repeatedly with the ‘border czar’ title — which she never actually had.”

The document first outlined Harris’s prescribed role in addressing the border crisis and noted, among other items, that the former Border Patrol chief had never been spoken to by either Harris or President Joe Biden and the skyrocketing levels of illegal immigration into the country under their administration.

“the House of Representatives strongly condemns the Biden Administration and its Border Czar, Kamala Harris’s, failure to secure the United States border; affirms that the American people deserve elected officials who understand the gravity of the crisis at the border and who will execute the policies to fix the border crisis; clearly and firmly states that the continuation of the Biden, Harris border policies would be disastrous for both the United States and the American people.”

The handful of Democrats siding with Republicans is notable as Harris seeks to secure the party nomination.

Republicans are expected to capitalize on Harris’s failures at the border throughout the election.
