Going back to March 24, 2021, Joe Biden appointed Kamala Harris the \u2018Borders Czar.\u2019 In fact, here\u2019s the transcript of what Joe Biden said that day about his newly minted Border Czar Kamala Harris:\n\n\u201c\u2018I can think of nobody who is better qualified to do this. She is leading the effort. She knows what she is doing.\u2019\n\n\u201cWell, clearly, she did not know what she was doing. And enabled by Senate Democrats, we\u2019ve seen the border go from bad to worse. It\u2019s gone from a crisis to a catastrophe. Now 10 million illegal border crossings and counting. Undocumented immigrants from countries on the State Department\u2019s terror watchlist. Undocumented immigrants on the FBI terror watchlist continues to grow. An illegal who was released into the United States shot a San Antonio police officer with a long rifle this past weekend.\n\n\u201cWe should expect nothing less because Kamala Harris has said numerous times, by the way, despite trying to scrub the record, she said, \u2018An undocumented immigrant is not a criminal.\u2019 Anybody who doubts that? Take a look at her tweets when she was serving with us in the U.S. Senate. There\u2019s a reason why she was ranked the most liberal U.S. Senator during her time in the Senate. By the way they\u2019re trying to scrub that. That was on GovTrack. They\u2019re trying to get that removed digitally.\n\n\u201cBut you know, it gets worse. You remember that famous interview with NBC\u2019s Lester Holt, he pointed out to Biden\u2019s Border Czar Kamala Harris in an interview that she had not been to the border after she claimed she had. Do you remember her response? She was a bit flustered and said, \u2018And I haven\u2019t been to Europe.\u2019 So I brought along a little chart here. Washington D.C. to London is about seven hours. To get from here to McAllen, TX, about three hours. I understand she\u2019s headed to Houston. I might suggest a trip down to McAllen, TX, and check out the southern border.\n\n\u201cYou know, there\u2019s a big difference though, between Europe and our southern border. Because Joe Biden\u2019s border crisis is Kamala Harris\u2019 failure. And the American people are going to hold this Administration and the Senate Democrats accountable this fall for their failures at the southern border.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:24:45Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.daines.senate.gov/2024/07/30/daines-if-you-like-san-francisco-politics-youll-love-kamala-harris/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8643059991300106, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
