Parents who lost children to crimes blamed on lax border security unloaded on Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday, blaming her for the criminal mayhem.
The broadside came hours before Ms. Harris was slated to stop in Arizona for her first visit to the border in more than three years.
“I don’t know how many more people Kamala Harris thinks have to die before she will say something like ’Yes, we have a problem,’” said Patty Morin, whose daughter Rachel was killed in Maryland last year.
Her daughter, she said, was attacked, dragged, beaten, raped and killed by an illegal immigrant. Her body was “blanketed in bruises,” she had 10 to 15 head wounds and she was strangled and stuffed into a drain pipe.
Alexis Nungaray, mother of 12-year-old Jocelyn, who was slain in Texas this year, said her daughter was accosted by two migrants while she was getting a drink at a store. She was raped and killed and her body thrown in the water to try to get rid of DNA.
“They are monsters,” Ms. Nungaray said. “These are the kind of individuals that we just openly let in our country because of Kamala Harris.”

Anne Fundner, mother of a boy who died of a fentanyl overdose, said Ms. Harris has shown complacency regarding the border.
“A photo -p won’t bring our kids back,” she said.
The three women said they haven’t heard from Ms. Harris about their children’s deaths.
Ms. Morin called on the vice president to restore the Trump-era policies that led to the lowest rate of illegal immigration since the 1970s.
“Start deporting the folks that are here in our country,” she said.
The call was arranged by the Trump campaign, and several of the mothers endorsed former President Donald Trump, saying he would solve the problems.
Ms. Harris’ campaign, in a statement released just before she was due to be in Douglas, Arizona, said Mr. Trump “did nothing on immigration” during his term.
“When he was president, Trump created chaos at the border, taking our already broken immigration system and making it worse — leaving behind a mess for the Biden-Harris administration to clean up,” said Harris spokesperson Ammar Moussa.
