Kamala Harris' House condemnation for border failure 'long overdue but absolutely warranted': Brandon Judd

Harris supporters deny she should be called 'border czar,' say migrant crisis not her responsibility

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.

Top Jewish Group Warns Antisemitism Would Be 'Far Worse' Under Kamala Harris

As the United States sees a rise in antisemitism, one major Jewish group is warning that Jewish people will face a lifetime of hate under a Kamala Harris presidency. 

The Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) criticized Harris’ “weak condemnation” of anti-Israel protests that ignited this week during Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's congressional address in Washington. 

Critics of Harris’ stance regarding the Israel-Hamas war have sparked fury among those in the Jewish community. They pointed to her March 3 speech in which she called for an “immediate ceasefire,” accusing her of being a slave to the progressive left-- which they say sympathizes more with Palestinians. 

“If you thought Joe Biden was bad on issues of top concern for pro-Israel voters, Kamala Harris is far worse," national political director of RJC Sam Markstein said. 

This comes when Harris seeks to be the Democratic nominee after President Joe Biden was forced out of the 2024 race. However, her lack of sympathy for the Jewish community will make it difficult for her to secure votes.
