House GOP Condemns Harris on Border Policy

House Republicans have passed a resolution condemning Vice President Kamala Harris for her handling of the U.S. border with Mexico, which was backed by all Republicans and six centrist Democrats from competitive districts. The resolution is symbolic and aligns with Republican rhetoric, particularly from Donald Trump, who has criticized Harris since she became a prominent Democratic figure. Harris was assigned by President Biden to address the root causes of migration, but border crossings surged to record levels, creating a political liability for the administration. Since the implementation of stricter asylum policies in June, illegal crossings have reportedly decreased. The vote signals potential cracks in confidence among Democrats regarding Harris’s effectiveness, particularly among vulnerable members. Critics, including some Democrats, argue that the resolution is a political maneuver rather than a serious assessment of border policy.
