Kamala Harris Bashed Online After Visiting Korean DMZ Amid US Border Crisis

A large number of migrants have flocked to the United States through the country’s southern border since Joe Biden became president, with over two million illegal migrants apprehended by US authorities this fiscal year.

US Vice President Kamala Harris has ended up catching flak from Republican representatives over her upcoming visit to the demilitarized zone (DMZ) between North and South Korea.

According to the New York Post, the White House was forced to “scramble” to confirm Harris’ visit after it was “inadvertently disclosed” by South Korean Prime Minister Han Duck-soo.

“Your visit to the DMZ and Seoul will be very symbolic demonstrations of your strong commitments to the security and peace to the Korean Peninsula, and we are working with you and US in dealing with North Korea,” the PM said during a meeting with the US VP on Monday.

Some GOP representatives, however, did not praise Kamala’s trip, pointing instead at the dire situation at the US’ southern border.

“Kamala is going to the Korean DMZ to review their border security. Would it be too much to ask for her to visit OUR BORDER!?” tweeted Ronny Jackson, Republican congressman for Texas. “Our country is being invaded, and Kamala’s biggest concern is to visit other nation’s borders. Kamala & Democrats are AMERICA LAST!!”

House Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene also wrote online that Harris “will travel anywhere in the world but our US southern border that is under invasion every day by thousands of unknown people & deadly poisonous fentanyl.”

The United States witnessed an influx of illegal migrants attempting to enter the country through the southern border after US President Joe Biden took office in January 2021 and proceeded to revoke the immigration policies of his predecessor Donald Trump, including the infamous border wall project.

Over two million migrants were apprehended at the US southern border during the current fiscal year, an all-time high for the country.
