(Jim Watson\/Pool via AP)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 9:57 AM PT \u2013 Tuesday, June 22, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>Republicans have slammed Kamala Harris for her failures in her role as border czar. GOP lawmakers have called on Joe Biden to replace Harris due to her mishandling of the latest immigration crisis.<\/p>\n<p>In an open letter to Biden on Monday, 56 Republican congressmen said Harris has failed to visit the border and provide any assistance to immigration officials. Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-Wis.), who leads the effort to replace Harris, asserted her actions were unacceptable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do feel it\u2019s also important to address, one more time, the crisis at the border and the variety of bad things because of that crisis,\u201d he expressed. \u201c\u2026The fact that we had under 10,000 people crossing the border only four or five months ago show it\u2019s not something we don\u2019t know how to solve.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/VP?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@VP<\/a> Harris has no interest in solving the raging <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/bordercrisis?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#bordercrisis<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I joined <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepGrothman?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@RepGrothman<\/a> &amp; many other colleagues this week in calling on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/POTUS?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@POTUS<\/a> to immediately remove her as border czar &amp; appoint someone who will actually work to secure the border! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/f4BiqrN6gZ\">pic.twitter.com\/f4BiqrN6gZ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Brian Babin (@RepBrianBabin) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepBrianBabin\/status\/1406395501646422024?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 19, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The lawmakers reported the U.S. Customs and Border Protection apprehended 180,000 illegal aliens last month, which is a 21-year high. The CBP also predicted at least 1,000 immigrants have been sneaking across the southern border per day, compared to an average of 200 per day last year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are willingly allowing a massive increase across the border,\u201d Grothman stated. \u201c\u2026That massive increase, since the drug cartels charge people to come here, also increases the power of those drug cartels.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile in her recent statements, Harris repeatedly lied that she has already made a visit the border. Earlier this month, when Biden\u2019s border czar was asked if she had plans to visit the border, she claimed her disinterest in \u201cgrand gestures.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the issue of Republicans political attacks, or criticism, or even concerns, the reason I am here in Guatemala as my first trip as Vice President of the United States is because this is one of our highest priorities.,\u201d she claimed. \u201cI will continue to be focused on that kind of work as opposed to grand gestures.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">While <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/POTUS?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@POTUS<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/VP?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@VP<\/a> have put border security on the back-burner, people are dying of illegal drug overdoses at alarming rates. <\/p>\n<p>1.

They stressed Biden must appoint a more competent official to relieve the Biden administration\u2019s failing immigration system and curtail drug trafficking across the U.S. Mexico border.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt to a degree results in separation of children from their families as unaccompanied children come here,\u201d he explained. \u201cA given number of children are probably rented by people to come here because they know supposed intact families have a better chance of being allowed in this country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The lawmakers went on to warn the U.S. cannot afford another minute of inaction from Harris. They insist her disinterest in speaking with hardworking border patrol agents is insulting, especially as they put their lives on the line every day.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/president-trump-talks-2020-election-fraud-and-joe-biden\/\">President Trump Talks 2020 Election Fraud And Joe Biden<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kamala Harris watches Joe Biden deliver his address to a joint session of Congress.
