Past footage of Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) confronting then-Senator Kamala Harris at an airport has surfaced on social media. The Florida Republican walked up to Harris and directly called out her open-border stances on illegal immigration and how it is impacting the American Hispanic communities across the nation.
Walking up to Harris in the middle of the airport, Harris unapologetically said, “You’re directly and happy to hit a demographic in a negative way, you are directly impacting what is happening with the children in this country and you are not doing what you’re supposed to be doing I don’t representative, women in this country, shame on you.”
Subsequently, users on social media reacted to the clip, praising the GOP representative. “Remember this classic?! Kamala doesn’t want you to FL Rep @realannapaulina confronted then Senator Harris in an airport over her open border policies It’s time to bring this energy back It’s time to unleash Luna,” popular X account DC Draino said.
The American Tribune covered more recent news regarding Vice President Kamala Harris and the border crisis, where she gave a word salad non-answer to CBS host Bill Whitaker when asked about the administration’s lack of initiative surrounding the open border. As the rampant illegal immigration under the Biden-Harris administration has become one of the biggest issues, Whitaker questioned why substantive actions hasn’t been taken over the past several years.
“You recently visited the southern border and embraced President Biden’s recent crackdown on asylum seekers,” Whitaker began. “And that crackdown produced an almost immediate and dramatic decrease in the number of border crossings. If that’s the right answer now, why didn’t your administration take those steps in 2021?”
Harris initially tried to defer the blame on the issue to Congress. “The first bill we proposed to Congress was to fix our broken immigration system, knowing that, if you want to actually fix it, we need Congress to act. It was not taken up,” she said. “Fast forward to a moment when a bipartisan group of members of the United States Senate — including one of the most conservative members of the United States Senate — got together, came up with a border security bill.”
Trying to assign blame to Donald Trump, she said. “Well, guess what happened? Donald Trump got word that this bill was afoot and could be passed and he wants to run on a problem instead of fixing a problem, so he told his buddies in Congress, kill the bill, don’t let it move forward.” However, Whitaker continued to press Harris, who wasn’t answering his question.
Harris said, “It’s a longstanding problem. And solutions are at hand. And from day one, literally, we have been offering solutions.” Whitaker then asked, “What I was asking was, was it a mistake to kind of allow that flood to happen in the first place?” She gave no real answer, saying “I think– the policies that we have been proposing are about fixing a problem, not promoting a problem, okay?”
