“What Biden and Harris have done, and are continuing to do on our border, is a grave and willful dereliction of duty.”
The conversation surrounding Vice President Kamala Harris failing to visit the US-Mexico just got a new shake-up. Texas Governor Greg Abbott started the month of June by declaring a state of emergency over the Biden border crisis. A little over a week later, Abbott followed that up by announcing he's building his own border wall within the confines of Texas borders.

Our brave border agents and courageous ICE officers have been illegally stopped from doing their jobs. Our Nation is now one giant sanctuary city where even dangerous criminals are being cut loose and set free inside the U.S interior on a daily basis," he says.
The catch-and-release line checks out, as well as the part about cartels and MS-13 gang members. The 45th president follows up by criticizing the avoidance of both Biden and Harris to see the border crisis for themselves.
"If this weren't bad enough, Biden and Harris won't even tour the scenes of the wreckage they created, or come down and visit with the Border Patrol and ICE heroes risking their lives to defend our Nation at a time when the White House is doing everything it can to make their job totally impossible," Trump fires back.
On that note, back in March the Biden administration had an unofficial media blackout when it came to reporters being able to tour border facilities. Sites like Fort Bliss were revealed to leave thousands of migrant kids in "filthy" conditions.
