White House’s border coordinator Roberta S. Jacobson to RESIGN

The White House’s border coordinator will resign at the end of the month amid a historic surge in migrants at the southern border. 

Roberta S. Jacobson, the former ambassador to Mexico who was Biden’s border ‘czar’ on the National Security Council, announced the move in an interview with The New York Times.

She praised Biden’s efforts to ‘repair and recst’ the nation’s immigration system and slammed Donald Trump. 

‘They continue to drive toward the architecture that the president has laid out: an immigration system that is humane, orderly and safe,’ she said in a brief interview. ‘I leave optimistically. The policy direction is so clearly right for our country. 

It comes amid growing pressure for Kamala Harris to visit the border, 16 days after the White House said she would be leading the effort.

Customs and Border Protection revealed yesterday that March saw the highest number of migrant children crossing the border in history. 

Arizona’s Republican attorney general said Thursday Kamala Harris has not responded to his requests to visit the crisis-hit border, as Republicans released video of migrants crossing the Rio Grande just a few feet behind them. 

‘I guess if you were a philosopher you would say no response is a very loud response because we’ve not received any response,’ Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich said in an interview with Fox.

Harris was named border czar last month by President Joe Biden as the administration faces a growing emergency with record numbers of illegal immigrants arriving in the U.S. and border facilities quickly becoming overcrowded and understaffed.

In the 16 days since she was given responsibility, the vice president hasn’t visited the southern border or addressed the crisis in any way – despite mounting pressure.

During a trip spearheaded by Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan on Wednesday, Rep. Victoria Spartz of Indiana said: ‘Forty percent of our Border Patrol agents are busy processing people and changing diapers.’

‘It means that they cannot do their job protecting the border. It means that Mexican cartels are controlling the border. This is a national security and humanitarian crisis,’ she continued during a press conference at the border. 

Republican lawmakers have been flooding to the south to assess the situation – holding two separate group trips to the border this week.

GOP House Whip Steve Scalise released a video on Twitter around 1:30 a.m. Friday morning where, in the background, children migrants were seen apprehended and escorted to processing facilities by border patrol agents after they ran across the U.S. border from Mexico. 

Scalise led a group of 10 GOP lawmakers to McAllen, Texas Thursday evening to tour holding facilities and assess the growing border crisis.

‘LIVE from the border,’ the Louisiana representative wrote on Twitter at 1:37 a.m. ‘This is out of control. It’s the middle of the night. We’ve seen dozens of children flow freely across the border in just the past few minutes.’

‘This is the reality of Joe Biden’s disastrous amnesty agenda,’ Scalise said.
