Border Union Kicks Harris Over Beyoncé Rally

The head of the Union of Border Guards criticized the vice president Kamala Harris for choosing to “hang out like a fool” in Houston with singer Beyonce rather than meet with their families crime victims who were allegedly killed by illegal immigrants allowed into the country under her watch.

Paul Perez, President of the National Border Patrol The council criticized the Democratic presidential candidate for ignoring the problem of “Kamala migrant crimes” during her Friday visit to Houston, where 12-year-old resident Jocelyn Nungarai was in June killed. Two suspects were identified as illegal immigrants.

“I want to talk about a man who is going to come to Houston tonight, not to apologize or highlight the illegal crimes of foreigners, but to party like a fool on stage with celebrities instead of apologizing to families,” he said. Perez attended an event for former President Donald Trump in Austin, Texas, on Friday afternoon.

“This is someone who likes to boast that he is a former federal prosecutor who prosecuted transnational gangs and cartel members,” Perez said. “She knew better, President Trump — she knew better than most — exactly the threat that these people, these animals, posed. The threat they pose to our community that will harm our families and these scumbags listed here in these photos are part of the crime wave in Kamala.”

Trump highlighted violent crimes committed in the US during the Biden-Harris administration, including by members of the MS-13 and Tren de Aragua gangs, Salvadoran and Venezuelan gangs, respectively, that have established strongholds across the US.

Alexis Nungaray, Jocelyn’s mother, joined Trump at the event and said she had yet to hear from Harris since her daughter’s death.

“Kamala Harris never approached me,” Nungarai said.

IN mid-October Fox News interviewHarris was asked if she owed Nungarai’s mother and other families an apology.

Also on Friday, Gov. Greg Abbott (R-Texas), during a visit to Houston, called on Harris to designate the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang a foreign terrorist organization.

“In fact, today she is in Houston, the same city where innocent 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray was raped and murdered by two members of the Tren de Aragua gang. Jocelyn, her family and all Americans deserve better,” Abbott said in a statement.

“Vice President Harris should follow Texas’ lead and immediately designate Tren de Aragua a foreign terrorist organization,” said Abbott, who declared the TDA a foreign terrorist organization in September. “But this is just the beginning. The Biden-Harris Administration must use the full weight of the federal government to root them out once and for all—for Jocelyn and for every American.”

Harris is in Texas to shine a light on reproductive freedom in the state, which banned most abortions after the Supreme Court overturned the decision. Roe v. Wade. With the help of Houston native Beyoncé, whose song “Freedom” has become the Democratic candidate’s campaign anthem, Harris also hopes to support Rep. Colin Allred (D-Texas), who is seeking to unseat Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas). .

“In just four years as president, Donald Trump has been able to reverse a half-century of hard-fought progress for women,” Harris is expected to say, according to excerpts of her speech. “And now he wants to go even further. Let’s be clear: If Donald Trump wins again, he will ban abortion nationwide.”

Trump’s visit to Austin included a recording interview with popular podcaster Joe Rogan. That coincided with an open letter to voters that 200 former border and immigration federal agents signed on Friday in which they backed Trump over Harris.

“The most important factor in evaluating candidates should be the security of the United States. Of the myriad issues that need to be considered, each of them depends on our national security,” the letter said.

“Assuming you care about border security as much as we do, the choice is clear,” the signatories continued. “President Trump is the only candidate we can trust to secure our nation’s borders.”
