On Thursday, U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Saks) joined all his House Republican colleagues and six Democrats in a vote to condemn the White House's failure to secure the U.S.-Mexico border.

The symbolic vote is an effort to emphasize the poor leadership of Vice President Kamala Harris, who was labeled as the Biden administration's border czar. Now that President Joe Biden has dropped out of the race, Harris appears to be the frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination.

According to Rogers, the Biden administration "has failed the American people with their zero-enforcement immigration policy." He also pushed for a return to former President Donald Trump's policies to shore up the border crisis.

"I was proud to support legislation condemning the Biden-Harris Administration's willful negligence of the border crisis," Rogers outlined. "Even with only a few months left with this administration, concern is continuously growing that the continuation of their policies will cause irreparable damage to our country. This administration has failed the American people with their zero-enforcement immigration policy, and a return to President Trump's policies is what our country desperately needs."
