Barry Moore says that Harris supports wide open borders

On Friday, Congressman Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) said that the Biden-Harris administration's border policy has been a "disaster."

"You may have seen the ridiculous argument the Biden Administration and some in the media have attempted to make that Vice President Kamala Harris was never named the "Border Czar," Rep. Moore said. "When you have more than 10 million illegal border crossings on your record, it makes sense why you would argue that border security isn't your job. No matter the formalities, the Biden-Harris Administration's job is to protect American families, and they have failed beyond belief."

"At least ninety-nine illegal aliens on the FBI's terrorist watch list have been released into the United States under their watch," Moore continued. "More than 600,000 illegal aliens with a criminal record are also roaming the streets of our country. In 2024 alone, Border Patrol has encountered tens of thousands of illegal aliens from countries that present national security risks, including 2,134 Afghan nationals, 33,347 Chinese nationals, 3,104 Uzbek nationals, 541 Iranian nationals, and 520 Syrian nationals."

"Before she was ever "Border Czar," Kamala Harris made it clear she supports wide open borders," Moore added. "In 2018 she led a letter publicly urging her colleagues to reject then-President Trump's ask for funding to hire new Border Agents. Since then, the Biden-Harris Administration has only renewed their commitment to America last policies."

Barry Moore and the House Republicans have steadfastly introduced reforms that would retore the wait in Mexico policy of the Trump administration. Those Republican border security bills have failed to be brought to the floor in the Democratic controlled U.S. Senate. President Joseph R. Biden (D) without passing any significant legislation reversed the Trump immigration reform policies by executive fiat, halted construction of the border wall, and sold already paid for border wall materials for scrap metal while implementing policies that blocked the Border Patrol and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agencies from being able to accomplish their functions.

Former President Donald J. Trump (R), whom has been endorsed by Barry Moore, has vowed to restore the border policies that the U.S. had in place just four years ago and complete the border wall. Republican Vice-Presidential nominee Senator J. D. Vance (Ohio) said over the weekend that a Trump-Vance administration would depot one million illegal aliens.

It is unclear how exactly a Harris-Waltz administration would significantly differ from the Biden-Harris administration on immigration, but presumably Harris, herself a child of immigrants, will have much higher rates of immigration than the Republican ticket would.

Due to court implemented redistricting, Barry Moore was redistricted into Congressional District 1 with Rep. Jerry Carl. Moore defeated Carl in the March Republican primary to be the Republican nominee for the newly redrawn congressional district 1 (since 2021 he has represented CD2) and will be on the November 5 general election ballot.
