Texas officials are speaking out against Vice President Kamala Harris ahead of her event in Houston.
A statement from the Trump campaign compiled a list of top Texas officials upset over open-border policies that have led to growing crime, including the
tragic death of Jocelyn Nungaray.
“‘Border Czar’ Kamala Harris can come all the way to Houston where Jocelyn Nungaray was killed by Tren de Aragua gang members that she let into the country, yet she can’t be bothered to visit Jocelyn’s family or even say her name. Kamala Harris and her open border policies have allowed over 11 million illegal immigrants and dangerous criminals like TdA into our country, putting every American’s life at risk,” Texas Governor Greg Abbott wrote.
“President Donald Trump has shown real leadership on the border, with successful border policies that decreased illegal immigration to the lowest level in decades. While Kamala Harris refuses to take real action on this crisis, Texas will continue to step up with our historic border mission until we have a partner in the White House to make America secure again,” he continued.
Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick echoed Abbott’s concerns in a fierce reaction to the vice president’s event.
“Kamala Harris coming to Texas for a rally is one of the dumbest political decisions I’ve ever seen. She and Colin Allred are not going to win in Texas,” Patrick wrote.
“I’m glad she is spending the day in Texas instead of campaigning in a swing state with only a few days left in the election. I hope she stays longer. Donald Trump is going to be the next President because the voters are fed up with the Harris-Biden regime and the chaos they’ve created,” he added.
Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz also blasted the appearance by Harris to support his challenger Colin Allred.
“Colin Allred is Kamala Harris. They have spent the last four years working hand-in-hand against Texans and the American people with their radical policies, whether those be pushing to allow boys in girls’ sports, allowing dangerous illegal aliens to come into our country, or trying to destroy the oil and gas industry in Texas,” Cruz stated.
“Colin and Kamala share an agenda, and now they’ll share a stage for all Texans to see,” Cruz added.
