Kamala Harris blames Republicans for the border crisis

Last Monday, Vice President Kamala Harris gave an interview with NPR and surprisingly claimed that the border crisis is the fault of the Republicans. According to Harris, the worsening situation on the southern border is due to the GOP's unwillingness to engage in reform.

"Sadly, what we have seen in particular, I am sad to say, from Republicans in Congress is an unwillingness to engage in any meaningful reform that could actually fix a lot of what we are witnessing,"she said.

The vice president did not want to talk much more about the issue, since according to her "there is a lot that needs to happen to address the problem".

It should be recalled that in 2021, Harris was specifically chosen by Joe Biden to address the problems at the root the border crisis. So far, however, the situation has only gotten worse.

According to the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), illegal immigrant crossings have surpassed 5 million since Biden assumed leadership of the nation.

One federal official even estimated recently that daily entries range from 9,000 to 14,000. This figure could get even worse with the absence of the policy known as Title 42, which was implemented by the Trump administration and allows border agents to turn away groups of migrants crossing illegally. The Biden administration is attempting to lift the measure, which expires Wednesday.

In fact, federal authorities made an estimate and concluded that, should the measure be terminated, illegal immigrant crossings could exceed 18,000 per day.

Supreme Court postpones the end of Title 42

Chief Justice John Roberts issued an order temporarily blocking the suspension of the policy after 19 Republican state attorneys general made the request. The brief outlined the irreparable harm that would be suffered if Title 42 were terminated.

Now, Supreme Court justices will have to study the appeal to make a final ruling on the matter. While this issue is in litigation, it is expected that more measures will be evaluated to curb the worsening crisis.
