The U.S. House of Representatives has passed a resolution on July 25 condemning Vice President Kamala Harris for her handling of the southern border in her role as 'border czar.' The resolution, which passed with a vote of 220-196, saw bipartisan support as six Democrats joined Republicans in backing the measure. The Democrats who voted in favor were Jared Golden (ME), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA), Yadira Caraveo (CO), Don Davis (NC), Henry Cuellar (TX), and Mary Peltola (AK). The resolution criticizes Harris and the Biden administration for their perceived failure to secure the border, citing increased illegal immigration and national security concerns. House Republican Chair Elise Stefanik led the effort, emphasizing the administration's prioritization of illegal immigrants over American safety.
