U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, reminded his 2 million Twitter followers on Tuesday that Harris hasn’t visited the border region since accepting the assignment in late March. "Vice President Kamala Harris visited North Carolina yesterday," Jordan wrote. "She’s set to visit New Hampshire on Friday.
"When’s the ‘border czar’ going to visit the southern border?"
Last week, Jordan urged House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., to schedule a hearing specifically focused on the border crisis.
Jordan’s criticism came on the same day that the Republican governor of a border state unveiled plans to deploy National Guard personnel to the border and declare an emergency regarding the migrant crisis.

"The situation in our border communities is just as bad, if not worse, than the coverage we’ve been seeing," Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey stated as he announced his actions Tuesday.
"Deployment of the National Guard is critical to dealing with this crisis, and we are actively engaged in planning with the Guard," a Ducey spokesman told Fox News this past week.

"Just hold powerful people accountable," Concha responded. "I don’t care if you have a ‘D’ next to your name, an ‘R’ next to your name. That is the job here. But no one’s asking the tough questions, particularly of President Biden and Kamala Harris, on how to fix this. It’s not even a crisis at the border, Stuart, it’s a catastrophe."
