advertisement state:
Kamala Harris has fought violent crime for decades. As a border state prosecutor, she took on drug cartels and jailed gang members for smuggling weapons and drugs across the border. As Vice President, she sponsored the toughest border control bill in decades, and as President, she’ll hire thousands more Border Patrol agents and crack down on fentanyl and human trafficking. Fixing the border is hard. So is Kamala Harris.
Boudreau added, “Harris doesn’t care about the drug cartels and has done nothing to stop people from crossing the border illegally.”
Harris’ visit was described as a “show” at the time, with Boudreau telling the outlet that while she and others were in a waiting room, Harris “never came in and said hello.”
“She walked out, she addressed reporters, she literally walked out and didn’t say hello to anybody,” Boudreau added. “She didn’t shake hands, she didn’t say hello, and she took all of this credit for the work that local people had done.”
The Harris campaign ad said: Report A study from June found that under the Biden-Harris administration, there have been more than 9.9 million illegal border crossings nationwide, including more than 8 million encounters at the southern border.
