**Outrageous**

Vice President Kamala Harris's controversial past comments are resurfacing amidst her recent political maneuvers, prompting renewed scrutiny of her qualifications as the so-called “border czar” of the Biden administration.

A newly viral video from her time as a U.S. senator reveals a striking statement in which Harris equated the efforts of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to the acts of the Ku Klux Klan.

This comparison not only sparked significant backlash from Republican leaders but also raised questions about her commitment to effective border management.


In a Senate hearing meant to evaluate Ronald Vitello’s appointment as ICE director, Harris asked, “Are you aware of the perception of many about how the power and the discretion at ICE is being used to enforce the laws, and do you see any parallels?” Vitello's firm response emphasized that he saw no such parallels, underscoring a stark contrast between Harris’s rhetoric and the reality of ICE's mission.

This resurfaced footage comes at a crucial time as President Biden has chosen to end his reelection campaign, endorsing Harris for the Democratic Party’s nomination instead.

Republican National Committee Chairman Ronna McDaniel highlighted this resurgence, referring to Harris’s past comments as radical and out of touch with the American public's views on border security.

Under the Biden-Harris administration, illegal immigration numbers have skyrocketed, turning border security into a top issue for the upcoming 2024 election.

As recorded in a memo from the National Republican Senatorial Committee, Harris has consistently pushed for policies that some label as "extreme," including proposals to abolish ICE altogether.

While campaigning in 2020, she expressed a desire to end government contracts with private prisons linked to ICE enforcement and has made remarks suggesting a reevaluation of immigration laws.

Chad Wolf, former acting DHS Secretary, pointed out the lack of attention Harris has given to border issues, noting her solitary visit to the border in over three years.

These actions and statements have positioned Harris as a polarizing figure, with many Republicans arguing her leadership is detrimental to the security and integrity of U.S. borders.

As the 2024 election approaches, it remains to be seen how voters will react to the Harris record and whether Democrats can distance themselves from the implications of her statements and policies.
