Rep. Ronny Jackson, a Texas Republican, introduced legislation to remove
Vice President Kamala Harris from her role as "Border Czar."
The legislation would see Harris lose her position as the head of the
Biden administration’s strategy to address the root causes of migration
and force the federal government to recognize border security as national security, according to the resolution.
"It is past time for Joe Biden to remove her from the Border Czar role and appoint someone who will put Americans' interests first," Jackson said.
"A nation without borders is no nation at all," he added. "We need a real leader at the helm who will secure our southern border, and, in-turn, our country’s bright future."
Jackson's legislation would provide U.S. Customs and Border Protection
with the resources they need to protect U.S. citizens from the growing fentanyl crisis, according to the press release.
At least 11,201 pounds of illicit fentanyl was seized at the border in
2021 by CBP officials, the release noted.
More than 2.3 million immigrants have been apprehended at the border since Biden and Harris took office, according to the release.
"Harris sits back and watches as illegal immigration skyrockets, countless people at home and abroad are victimized by drug and human trafficking,
and CBP officers are left without resources or support from the Biden administration," Jackson said. "Make no mistake – Harris's approach is by design, and she must be stopped. A single canned photo op and pointless foreign trips to Northern Triangle countries on the taxpayers' dime are
not cutting it."
The resolution is backed by 26 GOP co-sponsors and was introduced on the one-year anniversary of Harris's appointment.
