Biden Urged to Replace Harris on Border Assignment in Letter Signed by 56 Republicans

More than 50 House GOP lawmakers called on President Joe Biden to relieve Vice President Kamala Harris of her duties in handling the U.S.โ€“Mexico border crisis.

The Republicans, as they have done for months, noted that Harris hasnโ€™t yet visited the border amid a surge in illegal immigration. Some Democratic lawmakers who represent areas along the border have also called on the vice president to take more action, including a visit to the area.

Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-Wis.) and 55 other Republicans in the House demanded Harrisโ€™s removal from her border assignment, citing recent Customs and Border Protection data that shows that 180,000 people were apprehended last month after crossing the border illegally.

โ€œDespite being in the midst of a border crisis this country has not seen in two decades, Vice President Harris has not yet shown adequate interest in observing this crisis first-hand,โ€ theย lawmakers wrote in their letter. โ€œIn the 85 days since the Vice President has been tasked with solving this crisis, she has yet to visit the border and meet with Border Patrol agents, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials, and local law enforcement officials.โ€

Harris has defended not going to the border and said she will visit the border sometime in the future.

When she visited Mexico and Guatemala this month, Harris said that the โ€œroot causesโ€ of the illegal immigration problem should be addressed. However, her explanation to reporters in Mexico about why she hasnโ€™t visited the border yet overshadowed her trip, saying that the White House is aiming to boost economic development in the region.

She told reporters: โ€œIt would be very easy to say, โ€˜Weโ€™ll travel to one place, and therefore itโ€™s solved.โ€™ I donโ€™t think anybody thinks that that would be the solution.โ€ When pressed about visiting the border again, Harris said she did so when she was a senator from California.
