WASHINGTON — Speaker Johnson released the following statement after the House passed H. Res. 1371, a resolution condemning the Biden Administration and its Border Czar Kamala Harris’, failure to secure the United States border.
“Under the leadership of President Biden and his appointed Border Czar, Kamala Harris, this Administration has failed in its fundamental duty to secure our borders and protect Americans.
“Since being designated the Biden Administration’s Border Czar, Vice President Harris has done nothing to address the worsening crisis at the border. The result of her inaction has been record high illegal crossings, overwhelmed communities, and an evisceration of the rule of law. No matter how hard the media tries to rewrite Vice President Harris’ role in the border crisis, Americans know this is not just a failure of policy. It is a failure of leadership.
“The House will continue to hold this Administration accountable for its failures and today’s resolution condemns the Biden Administration and Vice President Harris for their total dereliction of duty.”###
