Speaking on Fox Business Thursday, Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) bashed Vice President Kamala Harris’ trip to Guatemala earlier this month, remarking that he couldn’t recall a “more disastrous series of meetings” for an American vice-president or vice-president. He added that when Harris warned the Guatemalan people not to attempt to come to the United States, they wouldn’t listen to her, as she had spent her presidential campaign saying that the United States would welcome immigrants.
Rubio stated, “I do not remember, certainly not in my years of watching American politics, a more disastrous series of meetings and a visit, a foreign visit, than Kamala Harris’ to Guatemala. I can’t remember a more disastrous episode for a vice-president or for a president, for that matter.”
“But I think it’s unfortunate; they campaigned for months on they’re going to be totally different from Trump, and no matter what she says and they say now the perception is out there in much of Central America that the United States under Joe Biden is very lax,” he added. “And that’s an incentive for people to take this journey. It’s a dangerous journey; they shouldn’t do it, but they’re not going to listen to Kamala Harris when she says, ‘Don’t come.’ They’ve got a year and a half of her running for president saying we’re not going to turn anyone away.”

On Harris’ trip to Guatemala, where she <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-57387350">appeared at a news conference</a> with Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammatte, she warned Guatemalans thinking of immigrating to the United States,  &#8220;Do not come. Do not come. The United States will continue to enforce our laws and secure our borders.&#8221; She added: &#8220;If you come to our border, you will be turned back.&#8221;
In 2015, while serving as California&#8217;s Attorney General, Harris told KCBS-TV, &#8220;An undocumented immigrant is not a criminal. … I&#8217;m a career prosecutor. I&#8217;ve personally prosecuted everything from low-level offenses to homicides. Unfortunately, I know what crime looks like. I know what a criminal looks like who&#8217;s committing a crime. An undocumented immigrant is not a criminal,” as <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/what-kamala-harris-has-said-about-immigration-before-leading-white-house-border-response-1578550">Newsweek</a> reported. Newsweek added, “During the 2019 Democratic primary debate, Harris was asked if an immigrant should be deported if their only offense is being undocumented, to which she responded by saying, &#8216;No, they should not be deported.’”
Harris wrote in her 2019 book, “The Truths We Hold,&#8221; &#8220;A wall on the border with Mexico was a total waste of taxpayer money. I am a strong believer in border security—but experts agree that a wall will not secure our border.&#8221;
She also wrote in the book, “But there was a bigger reason to oppose the border wall. A useless wall on the southern border would be nothing more than a symbol, a monument standing in opposition to not just everything I value, but to the fundamental values upon which this country was built. The Statue of Liberty is the monument that defines to the world who we are. Emma Lazarus&#8217;s words — ‘Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free’ — speak true to our true character: a generous country that respects and embraces those who have made the difficult journey to our shores, often fleeing harm. How could I vote to build what would be little more than a monument, designed to send the cold, hard message ‘KEEP OUT’?”

Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) pleaded with Vice President Kamala Harris to visit the U.S.-Mexico border as former President Donald Trump is set to draw significant attention to the region when he visits it in a couple of weeks.
&#8220;I write to invite you to the U.S. Southern Border to observe the ongoing humanitarian crisis and share the perspective of Americans who live there. I encourage you to join me and other Members of Congress, while we visit with the people on the ground who deal with these issues every day,&#8221; Cuellar, who represents Texas&#8217; 28th Congressional District, which shares 300 miles of border with Mexico, wrote in the letter to Harris. &#8220;Leaders of our local border communities, including our mayors, police chiefs, sheriffs, emergency personnel, landowners, and judges understand the dynamics fueling the immigration crisis.&#8221;
The letter comes as Trump announced in a statement on Tuesday evening that he would be visiting the border at the end of the month.
Cuellar&#8217;s letter continued:
<blockquote>I have lived here my entire life and want to offer myself as a resource in solving these problems. I believe it is critical that you meet with local stakeholders and residents, consider their concerns, and use their lived experiences to implement more effective policies.
The rapid rise in the number of migrants arriving at our Southern Border has placed severe burdens on our communities. As the U.S. emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic, South Texans continue to struggle economically, due to outdated commercial travel restrictions. The situation on the border will only worsen, as more migrants are expected to arrive. The Administration needs to take a proactive approach to create a sustainable system of humanitarian aid and relieve everyday Americans of that responsibility.
Thank you for the consideration of this request. I look forward to hosting you and working together in finding solutions to solve this border crisis.</blockquote>
Trump&#8217;s visit to the border at the end of the month comes as Democrat President Joe Biden&#8217;s border crisis has continued to worsen as more illegal aliens were apprehended at the southern border last month than at any other point in the history of the Department of Homeland Security, which was created in 2002.
“I have accepted the invitation of Texas Governor Greg Abbott to join him on an official visit to our Nation’s decimated Southern Border on Wednesday, June 30, 2021,” Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-trump-going-to-u-s-mexico-border-as-kamala-avoids-going-bidens-border-crisis-worsens">said</a> in a statement. “The Biden Administration inherited from me the strongest, safest, and most secure border in U.S. history and in mere weeks they turned it into the single worst border crisis in U.S. history. It’s an unmitigated disaster zone.”
“If this weren’t bad enough, Biden and Harris won’t even tour the scenes of the wreckage they created, or come down and visit with the Border Patrol and ICE heroes risking their lives to defend our Nation at a time when the White House is doing everything it can to make their job totally impossible,” Trump added. “What Biden and Harris have done, and are continuing to do on our border, is a grave and willful dereliction of duty. My visit will hopefully shine a spotlight on these crimes against our Nation—and show the incredible people of ICE and Border Patrol that they have our unshakeable support.”
