U.S. Sen. Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) is calling out Vice President Kamala Harris for changing her position on illegal immigration.
Earlier this week, Axios reported that Harris “pledges to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on the wall along the southern border.”
This is a stark contrast to the candidate’s previous position on the issue as she tries to rebrand herself in order to defeat former President Donald Trump in November.

Britt reacted to the flip-flop recently on WVNN’s “The Yaffee Program.”
“Can you believe that?” Britt said. “I think she may put on a MAGA hat in her next ad. I mean, who the heck knows? You look at the way that she has moved on different issues, the way that she refuses to actually sit down and take an interview or a press conference…And the truth is she’s not doing that because she doesn’t know the answers. She’s unsure where she falls on these things.”
The Senator doesn’t believe Harris plans to change the policies of the Biden administration that have worsened the border crisis.
“Clearly she has no clear political agenda except for continuing these disastrous policies that we’ve seen under the Biden-Harris administration,” she argued. “And the truth is, everyone knows that America is weaker and more vulnerable as a result. Look at the border. The border is now a complete and total disaster.”
Harris, according to Britt, doesn’t take her job as Vice President seriously.
“She was handed the border. President Biden said, ‘Hey, go fix this.’ And instead what we’ve seen is a record number of people coming across our border, a record number of known gotaways, which means they’re people we saw, but we don’t know who they are, where they’re going, or what their intentions are.”
Britt also pointed to Democrats in Congress blocking one of her bills as proof that Harris has no real intention of securing the border and fixing the illegal immigration crisis.
“When it comes to the border too, you have things like the Laken Riley Act that I was proud to be the Senate sponsor of,” she said. “So myself, along with Senator Ted Brad, brought that to the Senate floor. It had passed the House in a bipartisan fashion, and yet Democrats on the Senate floor actually moved to block it.”
“So you take a look at that. You take a look at this administration. When you look back at this whole so-called bipartisan deal, you look back, this administration had three years of allowing our border policies and the fundamental laws of our nation to be trampled on.”
