McCarthy spoke on Capitol Hill on Thursday, questioning Kamala Harris\u2019 whereabouts as over 10,000 Haitian migrants camped out at the Del Rio, Texas border in recent days.<\/p>\n<p>He added the situation at the border has only continued to deteriorate as over 1.2 million migrants have been apprehended at the border since Joe Biden took office. Further, for the last two consecutive months illegal migrant encounters reportedly hit more than 200,000, marking a 20-year high.<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy also took aim at congressional Democrats on Capitol Hill saying instead of addressing the concerns that are hurting the economy, they are moving forward with a massive $3.5 trillion spending bill. The Republican House leader has argued the left\u2019s spending plans would create greater inflation and add onto existing debt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDemocrats control every lever of the federal government, but they are acting like powerless bystanders,\u201d stated McCarthy.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GOPLeader?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@GOPLeader<\/a> Kevin McCarthy: &#8220;I don&#8217;t view it as a bipartisan bill any longer \u2026 I&#8217;m voting no.&#8221;<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/d9RTPvP41Z\">https:\/\/t.co\/d9RTPvP41Z<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/zmsAGMJVA3\">pic.twitter.com\/zmsAGMJVA3<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 CSPAN (@cspan) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cspan\/status\/1441145545490317316?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 23, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>He then urged Democrats to fix the nation\u2019s problems instead of worsening them, saying never before did he think he would see an administration that would leave Americans behind.
