Harris failed to combat ‘root causes’ of illegal immigration, former Border Patrol union chief says
Fox News
Vice President Harris has not done enough to help secure the border, the Border Patrol's former union president said, arguing she failed to identify the real root causes.

Judd’s comments come as Harris’ record on immigration and border security has faced increased scrutiny in the days after Biden’s decision to drop out of the race and endorse his vice president to replace him, with critics saying Harris has failed on one of the defining issues of the 2024 election.
Biden tapped Harris to lead the administration’s effort to combat migration in March 2021, a response to critics who were already noting the increased flow of migrants just months into his presidency.
