Vice President Kamala Harris is scheduled to appear at the Arizona border on Friday.
However, one of the nearby ranchers seems to only care now and is letting out an awful whine.
“Donald Trump built a wall and supported immigration laws. On day one, she stopped the wall and encouraged illegal immigration,” said Tyler Crump, who runs a ranch on the Arizona border in Douglas. He told the Post that it has become a highway for illegal immigrants from the United States.
Crump said he believes Democratic presidential candidates are only trying to show they are serious about the border crisis for election purposes.
Harris is scheduled to tour the remote border area of Douglas on Friday as part of her presidential campaign.
As part of her role in the Biden administration, Harris was tasked with addressing the “root causes of immigration” and helping stop illegal crossings at the border.
But under her watch, millions of illegal immigrants flooded across the border.
“Whether intentionally or not, she is harming our country with her illegal immigration,” Crump said.
During her campaign, Harris referenced her time as a prosecutor in the “border state” of California, the state's attorney general, and San Francisco's district attorney, where she cracked down on cartels.
Harris has also pledged to sign a bipartisan border bill that failed to pass earlier this year, which would have increased funding for Border Patrol agents and wall construction.
However, she has only visited the border once as vice president, to El Paso, Texas, in June 2021.
Border Patrol officials who were present on the trip previously told the newspaper that they were instructed to thoroughly disinfect the area to hide the true severity of the crisis during the trip.
The newspaper toured Crump's property in August, where there was a pile of trash left behind by smugglers.
The picturesque ranch is filled with discarded water bottles, backpacks, “carpet shoes” (footwear with slip-on carpets to hide footprints in the sand), and people trying to get over the border wall. Used ladders and other items were scattered about.
Sometimes, the cows on Crump's ranch accidentally eat garbage and get sick or even die.
“It directly impacts my cattle and my livelihood…My cattle died. I lost a significant amount of money,” Crump said at the time.
In the last few months, Number of illegal immigrants entering the country hits record low for the Biden-Harris administration in the wake of new restrictions on asylum access.
Border Patrol recorded nearly 83,000 encounters with migrants in June, 56,000 in July and 58,000 in August, down from 250,000 in December.
Before that, the Biden-Harris administration ushered in record levels of illegal crossings at the southern border, while 1.3 million migrants entered the U.S. by boarding planes directly or using port-of-entry reservations on phone apps. allowed to enter the country.
But even during those quiet months, Crump witnessed smugglers smuggling both drugs and people across the border, trying to evade detection.
“Customer traffic is at an all-time high,” Crump previously said.
At the time, Crump gave Harris the following message: “Kamala, you're not helping anything. You're hurting us,” he said.
“You're putting money in the hands of cartels, you're putting money in the hands of a lot of people, and you're definitely not helping your constituents,” Crump said.
Most of Arizona's borders are Mexico's infamous Sinaloa cartelis shipping illegal fentanyl supplies into the United States.
In 2022, 50% of deadly fentanyl seized in US Confiscated in Arizona.
