Vance blames Harris for "crazy border mess" after touring US-Mexico border in Arizona

Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance on Thursday toured the US southern border in Arizona, using the opportunity to blame Vice President Kamala Harris for what he called the “crazy border mess” and the Biden administration’s border policies.

“It’s hard to believe until you see with your own eyes just how bad the policies of the Kamala Harris administration have been when it comes to the southern border,” he said after touring a small section of the border in Hereford, Arizona — his first visit to the border after being tapped as former President Donald Trump’s running mate.

During his brief remarks, Vance did not mention President Joe Biden by name but repeatedly railed against the “Harris administration.” He blamed Harris for having “kept those promises to open” the border, stopping deportation on “day one,” and halting construction on the border wall.

“We see the border wall sitting here ready to be completed behind us and that can’t happen because of Kamala Harris’ administration,” he said.

He derided the Biden-Harris administration’s immigration and border security policies as “terrible and idiotic” and argued that the policies “cause real human beings to suffer.”

Mentioning his own mother’s struggle with drug addiction, Vance accused Harris of allowing fentanyl to cross into the US. He also falsely referred to Harris as “border czar.”
