Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong opposition to the highly partisan resolution criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris' work on the border. Like so many Americans, my constituents are sick and tired and they are worried that immigration and border security are being used as political talking points instead of a policy priority. I agree, but facts are facts. It has been over 100 days since congressional Republicans walked away from the table on the most comprehensive, bipartisan border security deal in decades because former President Trump wants to politicize the issue rather than to find an actual solution. Let's be clear: Trump killed the deal. Mr. Speaker, the best way to restore order at the border and fix our broken immigration system is passing a bill through Congress. That is exactly what the Biden-Harris administration wanted to do. I know we can get this done, but only if we work together, not as Democrats and Republicans, but as Americans. ____________________
