Harris has all but ignored the border crisis since being tasked with overseeing the administration\u2019s response, declining to visit the border or take questions from the media on the subject.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe crisis at our southern border has been escalating since January and is now clearly a catastrophe and tragedy in the making. Like many Americans, I was encouraged by your March 24 appointment of Vice President Kamala Harris to lead the efforts to stem the tidal wave of illegal migration into our country,\u201d Brnovich began \u201cHowever, to date, her response to the border crisis has been absolutely abysmal, so I am requesting that she be replaced as your \u2018border czar.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are not nearly 50 days into her appointment, and Vice President Harris has shown little interest in observing what is happening along the border and has failed to articulate any plan to deal with the devastating effects of this crisis,\u201d he continued. \u201cInstead, she has traveled to other states for unrelated and less-pressing matters. Mr. President, this is a slap in the face to Arizonans who helped elect you to the highest office in the land.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since Biden took office in January, illegal immigrants have flooded the border seeking entrance to the United States. Early on, the Biden administration shifted the U.S. approach to illegal immigration from what was taken under former Presidents Donald Trump and Barack Obama, prioritizing processing and release rather than blocking illegal migrants from entering.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe truth is that out border officials are overwhelmed, our law enforcement is understaffed, and local ranchers live in daily fear of threats from Cartel operatives. It is shameful that they are not receiving more federal support,\u201d Brnovich said. \u201cThe latest apprehension numbers from April show that things are getting worse, and we do not yet know the full extent of dangerous people and drugs crossing into our communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. President, we cannot afford another day, week, or month of apathy and inaction by any official in your administration charged with upholding our federal immigration laws and ensuring public safety. What is occurring now at the border and in our communities is reckless and dangerous \u2013 to Arizonans, to migrants, and to the security of our great nation,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>Harris has been absent from the border since being tapped to head the Biden administration response nearly two months ago. She has also failed to give an official press conference to open herself up to reporter\u2019s questions on the topic for an extended period of time. Instead, she has asserted that to fix the border crisis, the U.S. must look past the border to the countries the migrants are fleeing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI conclude by respectfully requesting that Vice President Harris be replaced as America\u2019s \u2018border czar\u2019 with a federal official who is willing to see the crisis firsthand and to work with state partners to address it,\u201d Brnovich said. \u201cI also request that your administration adopt new border policies that facilitate enhanced transparency with members of Congress, the media, and the American people throughout this crisis. I remain committed to working with anyone in your administration to secure the border and enforce the rule of law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/kamala-harris-blasted-trump-admin-for-using-covid-19-as-excuse-to-close-the-border-now-the-biden-administration-is-doing-the-same-thing\">Kamala Harris Blasted Trump Admin For Using COVID-19 As Excuse To Close The Border.
