In a letter signed by 56 lawmakers to Biden this week, the lawmakers argued Harris has not shown an adequate interest in observing the border crisis first hand.<\/p>\n<p>The lawmakers also suggested Harris has insulted Border Patrol agents, ICE officials and local law enforcement near the border by not speaking with them. Harris has continued to repeatedly dodge questions regarding her plans to visit the border.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/VP?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@VP<\/a> STILL hasn&#8217;t visited the border. You can&#8217;t truly know the situation until you speak with people on the ground. I and 55 of my colleagues sent this letter to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/POTUS?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@POTUS<\/a> demanding her removal from this position because 180k encounters, a 21-year high, is unacceptable. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/PJE0RpgTaV\">pic.twitter.com\/PJE0RpgTaV<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rep.

A reported 180,000 immigrants flooded the border in May, resulting in the highest level of a migrant surge since 2006.<\/p>\n<p>The GOP lawmakers argue the country cannot afford another minute of inaction from Harris and urge Biden to appoint someone else to help him get a better grip of the situation.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/tropical-storm-claudette-floods-parts-of-gulf-coast\/\">Tropical Storm Claudette Floods Parts Of Gulf Coast<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kamala Harris speaks with the media at Hartsfield Jackson International Airport in Atlanta, Georgia.
