GOP Rep Introduces Bill to Crack Down on Kamala Harris' Refusal to Visit the Border
Republican Rep. Ashley Hinson of Iowa introduced a bill Thursday to block Vice President Kamala Harris from using taxpayer money to fund her travel expenses until Harris addresses the current immigration crisis at the southern border by going there and issuing a report.
“We have an absolute crisis at the border, and Vice President Harris was appointed to lead the administration’s efforts on the border crisis, but it’s been 56 days, and in that time she hasn’t been to the border once,” Hinson told Fox News on Wednesday.
“She hasn’t held a news conference on the administration’s efforts for a plan, and I think it’s time she does that.”
“It’s unacceptable that after nearly two months as the Administration’s so-called point person on the border crisis, Vice President Kamala Harris still hasn’t visited the Southern Border and heard directly from the brave law enforcement officers about what they are facing on the ground,” Hinson said in a news release. “As illegal immigration has surged, cartels are emboldened, and record levels of fentanyl are pouring into our country, this crisis continues to be out of sight and out of mind for this Administration.
“This bill will stop Vice President Harris from traveling internationally on the taxpayers’ dime until she visits the Southern Border and reports to the American people on the steps the Administration is taking to address this crisis.”
The U.S.-Mexico border is seeing an unprecedented surge in illegal aliens trying to make their way across from Mexico into the United States.
Countless people, including Mexico’s President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, have criticized the Biden-Harris administration for aggravating the situation through its action and inaction.
Despite there being a crisis for more than four months now, neither President Joe Biden nor Harris has gone to the border to get a first-hand look at the problem.
Biden appointed Harris to work on solving the border crisis in March.
Critics have accused Harris of being “missing” at the border and taking trips to “bakeries in Chicago and elsewhere” instead of going to where the crisis she is supposed to solve is occurring.
So far, Harris has met virtually with leaders in Mexico and Guatemala and plans on visiting the countries in June, Fox News reported.
“She’s putting yarn shops and bakeries before the border,” Hinson said to Fox News.
“She’s Zoomed with the Mexican president, but I think that sends the absolute wrong message to the men and women that are putting their lives on the line every day, not to mention the men and women and families that live in these communities along the border and the communities of Iowa — every state is a border state.”
The bill Hinson introduced Thursday intends to force Harris to do what she has failed to do since the beginning of the crisis — a crisis the Biden-Harris administration has repeatedly downplayed.
The See the Crisis Act seeks to bar Harris from using federal funds to pay for her travel expenses, including the use of Air Force Two and security details for travel abroad, until she goes to the border to “review the activities of the Department of Homeland Security and other Federal agencies responsible for enforcing and implementing immigration laws” and submits a report to Congress.
The report would need to include a “detailed” list of federal agencies and local supporting law enforcement officials that Harris meets with near the border, as well as any plans she has to visit the border again after its submission.
Harris’ report would also need to state the estimated amount of money Harris or any other government agency plans to dole out to Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador as part of an international aid package intended to address the humanitarian crisis.
... she has the right to tell you to keep your opinion to yourself and that she will do what is best for her. The opinions of strangers with no personal investment in the matter is of no importance.
Until the Supreme Court changes its ruling on Roe vs Wade a women's right to choice will remain the law of the land in the USA.
... no chance of passing in the House or Senate. Another Fox News false outrage story by a congress person desperate for attention.
hahaha Fox is referenced but it is NOT a fox newz story....
where did I mention that has a chance of passing... I didn't I just posted the news story
another news bigot exposed...
,,, yes I am a bigot to the far right wing stories you cough up everyday like they offer some shred of credible proof. You do prove everyday, often multiple times per day on CTN, that you are an obscene, profane, probably Q'Anon follower who is easily misled by any conspiracy theory that you read. Your first response is always to swear and curse at anyone you disagree with.
... you may not read Fox News but every day for the last 57 days they have run a story on their home page, today being no exception.
Kamala Harris has gone 57 days without a news conference since being tapped for border crisis role | Fox News
... all part of the "blame everything on Biden" Republican news media story that you have swallowed hook, line and sinker.
see that the thing about you socialist type you ASSUme I am a Qanon person... you couldn't be further from the truth.... as far as the obscene part that's the glorious thing about being and American we have 1st amendment rights... I have never yelled fire in a theater .. but I do speak my mind ...
great that's the truth .. she hasn't been to the border and she hasn't held a presser about the border and they STILL say there is no crisis .. but again I didn't get the story from fox .. yes fox was referenced in the article...
funny thing is you never notice when I quote CNN - NYT ..just proves what a bigot you are are.. just like most socialists you pick n choose what amendments you want to follow.
as for my blame everything on biden... you did the same damn thing for FOUR YEARS with Trump and alot of it has been debunked... proving CNN/MSNBC/NYT lied to y'all but you still swear by their reporting .....
biden gave muslim countries that have vowed DEATH to AMERICA ..and Israel and a few days later Hamas started the conflict all over again.
he has pushed for radical crap only to find out that someone(s) on his cabinet OWNS major stocks in those companies
he give his VP a job to do then she is flying all over the world and NOT even going to look at the situation she was assigned to handle.
he shuts down work on the XL pipeline then lifts sanctions on Russia to finish their pipeline to Germany ...
and the list goes on and on
my language .. do words hurt you that much ? I am not here to make friends .. but to inform others... but you seem to worry about how people perceive you... people don't care ... really don't care.. and I don't care what you guys think of me either.
what news groups would you like to read articles from? CNN refuses to cover anything pro conservative
So you don't like the truth. Your opinion does not change the facts. If liberals like you really believed the black lives mattered you would be protesting every Planned Parenthood abortion center in or near black communities. They kill more blacks in a week than the police do in a year.
Are you suggesting that planned parenthood are dragging women off the street and forcing abortions on them? It kinda sounds like you are.
No, he's suggesting what white liberals are putting as many abortion clinics as possible in black neighborhoods to decrease the black population.
"Birth Control or Race Control? Sanger and the Negro Project"
The Negro Project, instigated in 1939 by Margaret Sanger, was one of the first major undertakings of the new Birth Control Federation of America (BCFA), the product of a merger between the American Birth Control League and Sanger's Birth Control Clinical Research Bureau, and one of the more controversial campaigns of the birth control movement. Developed by white birth control reformers, who consulted with African-Americans for help in promoting the project only well after its inception, the Negro Project and associated campaigns were, nevertheless, widely supported by such black leaders as Mary McLeod Bethune, W. E. B. DuBois, and Rev. Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. Influenced strongly by both the eugenics movement and the progressive welfare programs of the New Deal era, the Negro Project was, from the start, largely indifferent to the needs of the black community and constructed in terms and with perceptions that today smack of racism.
What it became was not the project Sanger had first envisioned. As she wrote in an initial fund-raising request to Albert Lasker, the wealthy advertising executive just beginning his post-business career in medical philanthropy, she simply hoped to help "a group notoriously underprivileged and handicapped to a large measure by a ‘caste' system that operates as an added weight upon their efforts to get a fair share of the better things in life. To give them the means of helping themselves is perhaps the richest gift of all. We believe birth control knowledge brought to this group, is the most direct, constructive aid that can be given them to improve their immediate situation." Sanger viewed the Negro Project as another effort to help African-Americans gain better access to safe contraception and maintain birth control services in their community as she had attempted to do in Harlem a decade earlier when Sanger's Birth Control Clinical Research Bureau (BCCRB), in cooperation with the New York Urban League, opened a birth control clinic there. (MS to Lasker, July 10, 1939, Mary Lasker Papers, Columbia University (to be microfilmed in a later addendum to the MSM)
By the late 1930s, the birth control activists began to focus on high birth rates and poor quality of life in the South, alerted to alarming Southern poverty by a 1938 U.S. National Resource Committee report which asserted that Southern poverty drained resources from other parts of the country. Starting in the mid-1930s, Sanger sent field workers into the rural South to establish birth control services in poor communities and conduct research. She sought to test various contraceptive jellies and foam powders to see if they could effectively be used without a diaphragm, which would be cheaper and easier for poor women to use. Physician and philanthropist Clarence Gamble (1894-1966), who was on a quest to find the best birth control for the "uneducated masses," funded and supervised several of these rural Southern projects. The birth control movement also looked to Southern states as the ideal region in which to secure funding under New Deal legislation and to establish birth control services as part of state and federal public health programs. These birth control initiatives were designed, in part, to demonstrate to government bureaucrats on the county, state and federal levels that contraceptive clinics were essential in impoverished Southern communities and could be successfully duplicated in other regions.
In 1937, North Carolina became the first state to incorporate birth control services into a statewide public health program, followed by six other southern states. However, these successes were clouded by the failure of birth controllers to overcome segregated health services and improve African-Americans' access to contraceptives. Hazel Moore, a veteran lobbyist and health administrator, ran a birth control project under Sanger's direction and found that black women in several Virginia counties were very responsive to birth control education. A 1938 trip to Tennessee further convinced Sanger of the desire of African-Americans in that region to control their fertility and the need for specific programs in birth control education aimed at the black community. (Hazel Moore, "Birth Control for the Negro," 1937, Sophia Smith Collection, Florence Rose Papers.)
In 1939 Sanger teamed with Mary Woodward Reinhardt, secretary of the newly formed BCFA, to secure a large donor to fund an educational campaign to teach African-American women in the South about contraception. Sanger, Reinhardt and Sanger's secretary, Florence Rose, drafted a report on "Birth Control and the Negro," skillfully using language that appealed both to eugenicists fearful of unchecked black fertility and progressives committed to shepherding African-Americans into middle-class culture. The report stated that "[N]egroes present the great problem of the South," as they are the group with "the greatest economic, health and social problems," and outlined a practical birth control program geared toward a population characterized as largely illiterate and that "still breed carelessly and disastrously," a line borrowed from a June 1932 Birth Control Review article by W.E.B. DuBois. Armed with this paper, Reinhardt initiated contact between Sanger and Albert Lasker (soon to be Reinhardt's husband), who pledged $20,000 starting in Nov. 1939. ("Birth Control and the Negro," July 1939, Lasker Papers)
However, once funding was secured, the project slipped from Sanger's hands. She had proposed that the money go to train "an up and doing modern minister, colored, and an up and doing modern colored medical man" at her New York clinic who would then tour "as many Southern cities and organizations and churches and medical societies as they can get before" and "preach and preach and preach!" She believed that after a year of such "educational agitation" the Federation could support a "practical campaign for supplying mothers with contraceptives." Before going in and establishing clinics, Sanger thought it critical to gain the support and involvement of the African-American community (not just its leaders) and establish a foundation of trust. Her proposal derived from the work of activists in the field, discussions with black leaders and her experience with the New York clinics. Sanger understood the concerns of some within the black community about having Northern whites intervene in the most intimate aspect of their lives. "I do not believe" she warned, "that this project should be directed or run by white medical men. The Federation should direct it with the guidance and assistance of the colored group – perhaps, particularly and specifically formed for the purpose." To succeed, she wrote, "It takes a very strong heart and an individual well entrenched in the community. . . ." (MS to Gamble, Nov. 26, 1939, and MS to Robert Seibels, Feb. 12, 1940 [MSM S17:514, 891].)
Sanger reiterated the need for black ministers to head up the project in a letter to Clarence Gamble in Dec. 1939, arguing that: "We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members." This passage has been repeatedly extracted by Sanger's detractors as evidence that she led a calculated effort to reduce the black population against their will. From African-American activist Angela Davis on the left to conservative commentator Dinesh D'Souza on the right, this statement alone has condemned Sanger to a perpetual waltz with Hitler and the KKK. Davis quoted the incendiary passage in her 1983 Women, Race and Class, claiming that the Negro Project "confirmed the ideological victory of the racism associated with eugenic ideas." D'Souza used the quote to buttress erroneous claims that Sanger called blacks "human weeds" and a "menace to civilization" in his best-selling 1995 book The End of Racism. The argument that Sanger co-opted black clergy and community leaders to exterminate their own race not only gives Sanger unwarranted credit as a remarkably cunning manipulator, but also suggests that African-Americans were passive receptors of birth control reform, incapable of making their own decisions about family size; and that black leaders were ignorant and gullible.
