Border security experts say Vice President Kamala Harris's claim that the Trump administration "Dismantled" and "Broke" America's immigration system is nothing more than deflection.
During an interview with Spanish-language television outlet Noticias Telemundo published Friday, Harris was asked about the Biden administration's plan to deal with the expected surge of illegal aliens crossing the southern border when the public health measure known as Title 42 expires May 11.
Title 42, invoked during the Trump administration, has allowed the Border Patrol to turn away many migrants at the border.
Over 5 million illegal aliens have been encountered at the southern border since President Joe Biden took office in January 2021, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which includes the Border Patrol.
During a House Homeland Security Committee hearing held last month in the border town of McAllen, Texas, Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz told lawmakers that DHS doesn't have operational control of the southern border-despite the fact that Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told lawmakers the opposite in April 2022.
Mark Meckler, president of the Convention of States, said Harris is "Blatantly lying to the American people about the humanitarian crisis at the border."
The rally will feature prominent proponents of border security, including U.S. Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas; Mark Morgan, former acting commissioner of Customs and Border Protection; and veteran broadcast journalist Lara Logan.
