Opinion
Dr. Phil McGraw visited the southern border last week and called out the Vice President Kamala Harris for her failures as the “border czar.”
Dr. Phil Sounds Off
In a video posted to X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, Dr. Phil cited Texas GOP Gov. Greg Abbott’s claim that President Joe Biden “refused” to enforce protection laws and “enticed” thousands of migrants to avoid legal points of entry into the U.S.
“Texas law enforcement has seized over 454 million lethal doses of fentanyl during this mission. Governor Abbott has said that the federal government has broken the pact between the United States federal government and the states,” Dr. Phil said. “Governor Abbott says President Biden has refused to enforce those laws and has even violated them.”
“The result is a humanitarian crisis, unlike anything we’ve seen before, smashing records for illegal immigration by wasting taxpayer dollars to tear open Texas border security infrastructure,” he continued. “Governor Abbott says President Biden has enticed tens of thousands of illegal immigrants away from 28 legal entry points along the Texas border and into the dangerous deadly waters of the Rio Grande.”
That’s when Dr. Phil shifted to specifically attacking Harris.
“According to the Department of Homeland Security, since President Biden took office more than 6 million illegal immigrants have crossed [the] Texas southern border in just three years,” he stated. “That’s more than the population of 33 different states in this country. And what about our Vice President Kamala Harris? Did you know she’s our country’s immigration czar? Guess how many times she’s been to the border? Once.”

Border Crisis Escalating
The Washington Examiner reported that over 10 million immigrants have entered the country illegally since Biden took office, with six million of those crossing the Texas border illegally. This is the most recorded in that amount of time of any administration in American history.
Governor Abbott just called on Biden to decisively address migrant crossings at the U.S. southern border, saying that the president has “completely abdicated and abandoned his responsibility to enforce the laws of the United States.”
“Joe Biden, it is your turn now — your obligation, your duty, to follow the laws Congress passed and secure the border, just as Texas has,” Abbott said, according to CBS News.
Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders also called out Biden, saying that “because of his failures, Governor Abbott is having to step up, governors from across the country are having to step up and do the job of the federal government because they simply won’t.”

Harris Defends Immigrants
As for Harris, she issued a statement over the weekend saying, “let us remember: we are a nation of immigrants. Immigrants have always helped strengthen our country, grow our economy, and drive innovation. We know that in America, diversity is our strength. So rather than politicize this issue, let us all address it with the urgency and seriousness it requires.”
Given how abysmal Harris’ approval rating is, many Americans will certainly agree with Dr. Phil’s assessment of her. What do you think about what he had to say? Let us know in the comments section.
