Democrats Block Motion to Stop Kamala Harris Travel Funds Until She Visits Southern Border
Jacob Bliss 14 Jun 2021
House Democrats blocked a motion Monday night that would have halted Vice President Kamala Harris from using taxpayer money for travel until she visits the southern border and creates a plan to deal with the crisis there.
The vice president has gone 82 days without visiting the U.S.-Mexico border after President Joe Biden appointed her to stem the migration to the U.S. southern border. Two hundred and seventeen House Democrats voted to block the previous question. Blocking the previous question would have allowed for the consideration of Rep. Ashley Hinson’s (R-IA) “See the Crisis Act.”
The bill was meant to “limit the travel” of Harris and curtail her from receiving any traveling expenses from the U.S. Treasury until she visits the southern border. More specifically, the bill, if passed, would have required Harris to visit one of the dozens of counties in states like Arizona, California, New Mexico, or Texas to see what happens at the border.
On the House floor Monday night, Hinson said her legislation would have stopped Harris “from using taxpayer dollars to travel internationally before seeing the southern border crisis firsthand.”
