Border Patrol's former union president says Vice President Harris has not done enough to secure the U.S. border and has failed to identify the real root causes of migration.
Vice President Harris has failed to address the root causes of illegal immigration after being trusted with the task by President Biden in 2021, according to the former Border Patrol union leader. 'It’s very disappointing,' Brandon Judd, who recently retired as president of the Border Patrol Union, told Fox News Digital. 'We gave her the policies that she needed to implement. She refused to implement those.
Despite the decrease in Northern Triangle crossings, illegal crossings overall reached all-time highs in 2021, 2022 and 2023, with migrants making their way from all over the world to the U.S. border. Thousands of those migrants were coming from China, with government data showing more than 30,000 Chinese migrants were arrested illegally crossing the southern border in 2023.
Harris’ tone seemingly changed during a January 2022 trip to Honduras, her last to the border or countries south of it, where she told migrants not to attempt the journey to the United States. '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. Do not come. The United States will continue to enforce our laws and secure our border,' Harris said at the time.
