In an interview on "America's Newsroom," Dannels expressed his outrage over Harris's recent statement that she would not change any of the Biden-Harris administration's immigration policies.

"When I hear that, it's upsetting, it's insulting, because we've seen the worst of the worst over the last three and a half years, tragedy after tragedy and children die, and you name it," Dannels said.
Dannels highlighted the dramatic increase in border encounters under the Biden-Harris administration, a statistic that stands at 241.5% higher than during the Trump administration. This surge in illegal crossings has overwhelmed border communities, straining resources and endangering the safety of residents.

The sheriff accused the Biden-Harris administration of "intellectually avoiding and abandoning" border communities, ignoring their pleas for help and failing to address the humanitarian crisis unfolding at the border.
"We've done invites, and they never honor our invites as sheriffs. And to hear her say that now, if anything, she just says, hey, we could do a better job, say something to that effect," Dannels said.

He contrasted the Biden-Harris administration's approach with that of former President Trump, who "engaged, worked, and prioritized" border security and "made a difference." Dannels attributed the recent endorsement of Trump by the Border Patrol Union to his commitment to securing the border.
"I haven't found one agent to come up to me and say, 'Sheriff, it's working on the border.' Just the opposite. Their morale is in the dirt. They're looking for some hope and President Trump's their hope," Dannels said.
The sheriff expressed his belief that Harris's refusal to acknowledge the border crisis was an insult to border communities. He said that her dismissive remarks demonstrated a lack of understanding of the severity of the situation and the impact it was having on the lives of border residents.
Dannels's comments come amidst growing criticism of the Biden-Harris administration's handling of the border crisis. Republicans have accused the administration of creating a "lawless border" and ignoring the suffering of border communities.
The administration has defended its policies, arguing that it is taking steps to address the root causes of migration and improve conditions at the border. However, critics argue that these measures have failed to stem the flow of illegal crossings and have only worsened the humanitarian crisis.
The border crisis is expected to be a major issue in the upcoming midterm elections, with Republicans vowing to take action to secure the border and Democrats defending the Biden-Harris administration's approach.
