Border-district Republicans hammer Harris, demand 'an apology' over 'photo op' campaign stop in Arizona
Fox News
House Republicans whose districts include part of the U.S.-Mexico border are criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris’ planned visit on Friday.
"I have been consistent in my willingness to work with anyone – on either side of the aisle – to address the crisis at the border," Rep. Juan Ciscomani, R-Ariz., told Fox News Digital. "However, Vice President Harris’ visit to the border smells like nothing more than a photo opportunity to try and score political points."

Ciscomani is just one of several GOP lawmakers from border districts who are accusing Harris of caring more about optics than results. They have long blamed the Biden administration for the record number of illegal border crossings since Democrats took office, and Harris’ handling of the border is one of Republicans’ most significant political cudgels against her.
