Republican Texas Rep.-elect Mayra Flores needed only three words when responding to Vice President Kamala Harris’s claim about “progress” being made at the southern border Thursday.
“She’s honestly useless,” Flores said. “I don’t know why she’s in that position. She hasn’t been here in south Texas to see what their policies are creating, the mess that they’re creating in our country, and that their policies are hurting real people.”
Flores defeated Democratic candidate Dan Sanchez in a special election Tuesday to fill a vacancy until January 2023, flipping a seat in a district that is 85% Hispanic. She avoided a runoff by picking up 51% of the vote and will face Democratic Rep. Vincente Gonzalez in a redrawn district in November.
The seat was formerly held by Democratic Rep. Filemon Vela, who resigned to become a lobbyist. Vela won his last election by 13 points in 2020, but Republicans have picked up support in the Rio Grande Valley and in Nevada, two formerly blue strongholds.
President Joe Biden appointed Harris as “border czar” in March 2021. Authorities encountered 239,416 migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border in May after encountering over 234,000 migrants in April, United States Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) reported Wednesday.
The last event Harris held regarding immigration and border issues was a January meeting with Honduran president Xiomara Castro. During that meeting, Harris and Castro discussed “root causes” behind migration, according to a White House briefing.
Flores and the White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment from The Daily Caller News Foundation.

I loved living in Texas. I did live there 30+ years and I never imagined what it would be like to live elsewhere. I earned all my graduate degrees there and having done that my life has been very interesting. I am grateful.
If I was living there now I would be actively working to divorce Texas and most red states from the so called “Union”. Yes, we would keep the Constitution and Amendments though we might get rid of what appears to be Pro-Blue ideas.
Standing around waiting for Kameltoes to show up is absolutely not on my agenda. What a useless piece of humanity...certainly as useless as Xhingo By Dawn.
Useless? Willie Brown would disagree.
Kammy isn’t ‘useless.’ She’s Brandon’s Insurance Policy, just like HE WAS for 0bama!
And Mike Pence agrees that there is nothing to be done so doing nothing is the best that can be done so it's useful to do nothing when nothing should be done.
Cloward-Piven on a large scale.
Since more Hispanics are voting R, I wonder how long D’s will still support unlimited immigration.
I think they’re just on automatic pilot at this point.
I always said, “At some point, sane Hispanics would hopefully see the light and go R. The left soon saw that wouldn’t be enough.
Now we have hundreds of foreigners and terrorist here. Not that they would vote, but they would keep us busy being terrified while helping the enemy within.
We have enough crazies now going even crazier, because they can get away
with it.
I can do it in just do words. “Go Home!”
Dumb ass Kamala has no interest in being border czar and has said as much. And she’s so incompetent it’s probably for the best.
“Since more Hispanics are voting R, I wonder how long D’s will still support unlimited immigration.”
They are making the long term bet that a third world US will look a lot like Brazil—or maybe Venezuela.
That means political instability and chaos—and a small cadre of very wealthy people who rule over the impoverished masses.
