Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign is attempting to cast her as a tough-on-the-border candidate, but a former leader of the Border Patrol is warning the public not to buy it.
The Harris campaign has released a slate of advertisements that claim the presumptive Democratic presidential candidate would “fix the border” and crack down on illegal immigration by increasing the number of Border Patrol agents. However, retired Border Patrol Chief Rodney Scott, who led the agency while Harris served as “border czar,” says voters must look at her record to understand how she would really handle border security.
“Look at the track record and dive into the details,” Scott said to the Daily Caller News Foundation. “It’s smoke and mirrors.”
“Just like the Senate bill, she supports more funding and more agents, but it’s to expedite the processing and flow of more illegal aliens into the United States quicker,” Scott said, referring to the now-dead Senate border deal that was quashed in the House earlier this year. “It’s not border security.”
