While supporters of Vice President Harris deny that the term "border czar" should be used to describe her, she received the label formally Thursday in a bipartisan House resolution that rebuked her and the Biden administration for their failures in confronting illegal immigration.

And it's been a long time coming, according to the former head of the union representing thousands of Border Patrol agents.

"It's long overdue but absolutely warranted; better late than never," Brandon Judd, the former president of the National Border Patrol Council, told Fox News Digital. "When you look at her record on March 21, when she was appointed to deal with the root causes of migration – that, of course, is the definition of a border czar – she failed to do it."

Harris has been widely criticized for her approach to immigration for years. Her outgoing boss, President Biden, tasked her with doing something about the root causes of illegal immigration from three countries that were problematic at the time: Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador, also known as the Northern Triangle. But between 2021 and 2023, illegal crossings reached their highest levels ever. Read more and see video here.
