Senator Marshall On Newsmax: Kamala Harris’ Priorities are Backwards.
Salina, KS – U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. joined Newsmax to discuss Border Czar Kamala Harris’ failure to secure the southern border. Through her policies, Kamala Harris is responsible for jeopardizing American citizens’ safety and security.
Additionally, Senator Marshall discussed yesterday’s bombshell report showing that hundreds of U.S. Customs & Border Patrol (CBP) cameras are broken. Back in April, Department of Homeland Security Secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas, testified under oath to Senator Marshall that he did not know if his department’s border technology was operational.

Highlights from Senator Marshall’s interview include:
On Border Czar Kamala Harris’ failure to secure the southern border:
“We just did a telephone town hall recently with senior citizens, thousands of them on the line, and 60% of them do not feel safe in their own community…Kamala Harris owns that. We’re losing 200 to 300 Americans, young adults, every day to fentanyl poisoning, human trafficking exploding – she owns this. I think this will be the defining emotional issue when people go in there and cast their ballot.”
On CBP’s hundreds of broken cameras at the border:
“We know that at least two million known ‘gotaways’ have come into the country under Kamala Harris… that’s a low number. That’s two million people that they’ve registered on the cameras that were working.”
“It’s interesting to me that they have enough money to fly in a thousand people every day on Kamala Harris’s parole program, but they don’t have enough money to fix these cameras or get new cameras. They’re spending $110,000 on average for every one of these illegal migrants that come across as they resettle them, but we don’t have enough money to fix these cameras?”
“Kamala Harris has always had her priorities backwards. I wake up every day thinking about the security of my family, of your family, of my parents, our children, and that should be what she should be thinking about. Instead, she has other priorities.”
On foreign gangs like Tren de Aragua terrorizing American citizens:
“We need President Trump, don’t we? We need someone who’s committed to securing the border. We did some roundtables with police officers, sheriff officers, and they said we cannot arrest ourselves out of this. We have to stop the hemorrhaging, first at the border, and then we need a president who’s committed to go out and get rid of these criminals.”
“In Kansas, what we’re seeing, of course, we’re losing a Kansan every day to fentanyl poisoning, human trafficking is exploding…And as my dad, the chief of police, said, ‘Wherever there’s drug trafficking, there’s going to be crime surrounding that as well.’ So it’s a horrible situation.”
