AAF: Kamala Harris’ Border Czar Record
TOPLINE: On March 24, 2021, President Biden announced Vice President Kamala Harris as the Biden Administration’s “Border Czar.” Despite media gaslighting, this really did happen. You can read the White House transcript here and watch the remarks live here. : “Kamala Harris has never been the border czar.” • “I’ve asked her, the VP, today, because she’s the most qualified person to do it, to lead our
efforts with Mexico and the Northern Triangle” – President Joe Biden on March 24, 2021. • “.@POTUS asked me to lead our diplomatic work with Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala, and
Honduras. To address the situation at the southern border, we have to address the root causes of migration. It won’t be easy work-- but it’s necessary.” – Vice President Kamala Harris on March 24, 2021, on X. • AXIOS: “The Trump campaign and Republicans have tagged Harris repeatedly with the
"border czar" title — which she never actually had.” • 📺 WATCH: Media Research Center exposes the media’s gaslighting. Vice President Kamala Harris, the Record-Setting Border Czar: • In March 2021, the Biden Administration saw a then-record 173k encounters on the Southern
Border. The same month that Kamala was named Border Czar. • Under her tenure as Border Czar, CBP has encountered over 8 MILLION illegal aliens on the
Southwest border and the Southwest border has exceeded 173k encounters in 31 out of the 40 months that Kamala Harris has been Border Czar. • In June 2021, Harris agreed to give Mexico $130 million for labor reforms over the next three
years without securing concessions for MX to curb U.S.-bound illegal immigration. Everyday Americans are bearing the brunt of the Biden Border Crisis. • Innocent Americans (including Laken Riley, Jocelyn Nungaray, Rachel Morin and many
others) have been murdered by illegal aliens who entered the U.S. under President Biden. • Illegal aliens receive ~$42 billion in welfare a year and the cost of educating the children of
illegal aliens' totals ~$60 billion per year, according to a report from the Center for Immigration Studies. BOTTOM LINE: There is no question that President Biden tasked Kamala Harris with “securing the border” and there is no doubt that she has FAILED to secure the border and keep the American people safe.
