In June 2021, freshly-appointed border czar Kamala Harris sent a simple message to would-be illegal immigrants, telling them, "do not come" to the US. That appeal appears to have fallen on deaf ears, as over the following three years, a record 8 million people from all over the world have unlawfully crossed into the United States.
Despite only visiting the border once during her time as vice president in June 2021, Harris has claimed that the border is "secure" multiple times. As the New York Post reports, however, data and accounts from border patrol agents on the ground have painted a different picture, one that reveals just how porous the border has become under the watch of the Biden administration.
"She hasn't literally done anything," one agent told the outlet. "She came to the border once and we sanitized all the aliens out of there to make it look good."
Former acting Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Mark Morgan described Harris' job at the border as a "complete failure," suggesting "the data is irrefutable" that she has "overseen the worst, unmitigated border security crisis in our lifetime." He added that her lack of action "has negatively impacted every aspect of our country's safety and national security."
While illegal border crossings have slowed recently, they are still far higher than at any time since records began being kept. There has also been a marked increase in the number of people on the terror watchlist who have been caught attempting to make their way into the country, as well as those who have flown from their homelands overseas in order to hop the United States-Mexico border.
Harris' comments were made during a visit to Guatemala on June 7, 2021, where she met with President Alejandro Giammattei. "I want to be clear to folks in this region who are thinking about making that dangerous trek to the United States-Mexico border, do not come," she said. "Do not come. The United States will continue to enforce our laws and secure our border. There are legal methods by which migration can and should occur, but we as one of our priorities will discourage illegal migration. If you come to our border, you will be turned back."
