Rep. Andy Harris Tells Newsmax that Americans Believe Democrats Want an Open Border
Rep. Andy Harris, R-Md., stated Thursday on Newsmax that Americans understand that the Democrats desire an open border.
Harris was responding to the following comment made Wednesday by Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., when asked on MSNBC about border security legislation: “So you are right that that has been the Democratic strategy for 30 years, maybe. And it has failed to deliver for the people we care about most, the undocumented Americans that are in this country.”
On Newsmax’s “Carl Higbie FRONTLINE,” Harris asserted, “Well, look, that’s the way it is. … The American people have figured it out. No matter what the president says, no matter what Sen. Murphy says, the American people have figured out that the Democrats want to completely open the border.
“They don’t care if criminals cross. They just don’t care who crosses.”
Republicans in the U.S. Senate on Wednesday defeated the $118 billion bipartisan deal that would’ve tightened immigration laws and provided aid for Ukraine and Israel.
On Thursday, the Senate advanced a $95.34 billion bill that includes aid for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan.
