Congresswoman Debbie Lesko, representing Arizona's 8th district, has recently voiced her concerns regarding the current administration's handling of border security and its impact on American families. Through a series of tweets, Lesko criticizes President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for their approach to immigration and border control.
On November 25, 2024, Lesko stated, "President Biden and VP Kamala Harris oversaw the largest invasion at our Southern Border EVER – and they’ve done NOTHING to stop it!" This comment reflects her disapproval of the administration's policies concerning the southern border.
Later that day, she expressed her sympathy for families affected by these policies. She tweeted, "As the holiday season approaches, families like Jocelyn Nungaray’s, Laken Riley’s, and Rachel Morin’s will have seats missing at their celebrations. President Biden and Kamala Harris refuse to even apologize to their families. It’s heartbreaking." This message highlights her belief in the personal toll that she perceives these policies are taking on American citizens.
On November 26, 2024, Lesko reiterated her frustration with legislative gridlock by noting that it had been nearly 600 days since House Republicans passed a significant border bill. She wrote, "It has been nearly 600 days since House Republicans passed the most comprehensive border bill ever. Senator Schumer and radical Democrats in the Senate refuse to even bring it up for a vote." This tweet underscores her dissatisfaction with what she sees as a lack of action from Senate Democrats.
