During a visit to the southern border of the United States on Thursday, Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance reportedly attacked Vice President Kamala Harris over the Biden administration’s disastorous immigration policies.
Vance took aim at Harris because, for the last four years, a record number of immigrants have stormed the southern border.
Vance said that in addition to the harm done to the immigration system, drug gangs have been able to get deadly substances into the nation by abusing Biden’s inadequate border controls.
“When they started their administration, Kamala Harris came into office making promises – and she kept those promises – to open the American Southern border. They stopped deportations on day one, they stopped construction of the border wall on day one. We see the border wall sitting here ready to be completed behind us, and that can’t happen because of Kamala Harris’ administration.” Vance said.
“They reinstated catch-and-release and they stopped Remain in Mexico, so all of these asylum claimants who come to our border, they can now get released into our country because they’re not forced to stay in Mexico while we adjudicate their asylum claims,” he continued.
The Republican vice presidential nominee then gave a retrospective of his own upbringing by a drug-addicted mother.
“We have to remember that as terrible and idiotic as these policies were, they cause real human beings to suffer. A lot of you know my story and I have been a little kid waiting at the bedside of his mother, angry that his mom took something that she shouldn’t have taken, but praying to God, please, Jesus, let her wake up.” Vance added.
“The unfortunate truth is because of the poison that Kamala Harris has let come into this country, there are a lot of those prayers that won’t be answered. There are a lot of kids out there who have been deprived of second chances with their moms and dads. There are a lot of moms and dads out there who will never see their kids walk down the aisle because of what Kamala Harris has unleashed at this border.” he concluded.
