Border Patrol Union Fact Checks Harris Over 'Photo Op' After Ignoring 'Problem She Created' For 3 Years
Following Kamala Harris' photo-op trip to the southern US border - talking tough about border security as if she wasn't responsible for the flood of illegal immigrants into the country, the Border Patrol Union slammed the VP for having 'ignored the border problem she created for over three years.'
Vice president Harris has ignored the border problem she created for over three years. She goes down there for 20 minutes for a photo op and decides to repeat some of the things the NPBC has said before. But again, where has she been the last 3 1/2 years?

"We have apprehended over 8 million illegal immigrants over the last 4 years and now you realize we need more help 38 days before the election," reads another post on X.
VP Harris asserted in Arizona that CBP needed more resources.

The Border Patrol Union also fact checked Harris' claim that she played a role in increasing Border Patrol Agent overtime pay, which they say "This couldn't be further from the truth."
Fact check on Harris speech in Douglas, Arizona:

Today, VP Harris claimed that she played a role in increasing Border Patrol Agent overtime pay.
This couldn't be further from the truth. As with all things border related she was no where to be found when we needed her.

On Friday, 'Border Czar' Kamala Harris flew down to Arizona for a photo-op at the southern US border - through which untold millions of migrants from all over the world have entered the United States illegally during the Biden-Harris administration.
While there, she gave a ridiculous speech in which she (get this) called for tougher border security - pledging to enact various forms of immigration reform if she's elected in November, including a 5-year ban on reentry for those who enter the country illegally.
Kamala: "The United States is a sovereign nation and I believe we have a duty to set rules at our border and enforce them. And I take that responsibility very seriously."

Just unbelievable gaslighting from the woman who purposefully caused an invasion at our border. pic.twitter.com/etLwpFszEk
After doing her best Trump impression, however, Harris then floated a path to citizenship for those who have been in the country "for years."
🚨 WTF? Kamala Harris at the border literally ENCOURAGING people to come over illegally

She just promised them all a pathway to citizenship.
She’s NOT interested in securing the border. She’s hellbent on importing more voters. pic.twitter.com/wJfxUaF79b
A reminder...
Kamala (2019): President Trump's border wall is a "medieval vanity project."

Also on Friday, a damning revelation from Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX); US Customs and Immigration Enforcement (ICE) revealed that over 650,000 migrants with criminal histories were let loose in the United States between 'mid-May 2023 through the end of July 2024.'
As of July 21, 2024, there were 662,566 noncitizens with criminal histories on ICE’s national docket—13,099 criminally convicted MURDERS!

"As of July 21, 2024, there were 662,566 noncitizens with criminal histories on ICE's national docket, which includes those detained by ICE and on the agency's non-detained docket. Of those, 435,729 are convicted criminals, and 226,847 have pending criminal charges," wrote deputy DHS Director Patrick J. Lechleitner in response to a March letter from Gonzales demanding answers.
In short, this couldn't have come on a worse day for Harris...
.@MZHemingway: "This border trip today happened at the worst possible time for her, given the other news that came out — that her administration allowed nearly half a million criminals, many of them violent criminals — to just be in the country and roaming freely...
