  • Texas Democrat Calls for Kamala Harris' Replacement, Condemns Mishandling of Border Crisis
    Rep. Henry Cuellar is unimpressed with Harris' handling of border matters. 

On Wednesday, Henry Cuellar, a Texan Democrat who represents the district that runs along the southern border of the United States, says he's had enough of US Vice President Kamala Harris, calling for her replacement. 

The Democrat expressed that he is fed up with Harris and her "border czar" handling of US border matters. Thus, instead of continuing to work with Harris, Cuellar says he has "moved on" to other institutions, who he deems may be more cooperative than Harris: "I’ve moved on from the vice president to say, ‘OK, let's work with the ambassadors and let's work with the State Department. Let's work with the Homeland Secretary." 

Cuellar represents Texas’ 28th district, a district that stretches from San Antonio to Laredo, to Rio Grande City.

He continues to comment about her competence as the Vice President: "I think that's the way to address it, but I know that the media has put a lot of focus on the vice president, but with all due respect, she was given that title. I don't think she's, with all due respect, put the effort in there...We’ve got to look at other folks that have the expertise on that."

In late March, a migrant crisis infiltrated the southern US border where a number of human rights abuses were documented and were poorly dealt with. Kamala Harris took many months to visit the US-Mexico border and has only visited once - in June. 

In the fiscal year 2021, the border had seen over 1.7 million migrants, many of whom had faced human rights abuses, which include the US border patrol hitting and whipping Haitian migrants seeking refuge. 

Officers stationed near the border with Mexico have long been accused of mistreating migrants and asylum seekers.

According to The Guardian, a cache of files obtained by the human rights organization after years of legal wrangling reveals more than 160 incidents of misbehavior and abuse by top government agencies, including Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the US Border Patrol.

The documents include incidents from 2016 through 2021, ranging from juvenile sexual abuse to forced starvation, rape threats, and harsh incarceration circumstances.
