Arizona Governor Doug Ducey Slams President Joe Biden's decision in tapping Vice President Kamala Harris to oversee the issues in the U.S. Border. Biden recently tapped Harris to lead the White House in responding to the border's "huge problem."

The border situation the Biden administration is handling has been receiving a bipartisan backlash for weeks. Republicans have criticized how the current administration handles the ongoing uptick of migrants in the U.S. border, according to an Arizona Republic report.

Ducey dubbed Vice President Kamala Harris to be the "worst possible choice" in addressing the growing rate of migrant children trying to seek asylum in the U.S. Mexico border, according to a Business Insider report.

"At no point in her career has [Harris] given any indication that she considers the border a problem or a serious threat," said Ducey. The statement of the Arizona governor came hours after President Biden has announced VP Harris' role in alleviating the migrant children and other border crises.

Biden dubbed Harris as the excellent choice in leading the efforts of the administration in the borders. Harris will also work to make it safer for migrants to apply for asylum and other legalities in the migrants' home country, according to The U.S. Sun report.

"I've been governor under three presidents, and this is by far the worst situation we've seen," said Ducey. Ducey also pointed out that the President has made "the exact opposite" of his intention in showing that he is taking the border issue seriously.

Ducey continued to argue that Biden should have tapped someone with a greater experience and passion if he wanted to address the situation in the border effectively and efficiently.

Harris' assignment to be the White House's point person for immigration follows the revelation of the Customs and Border Patrol's apprehensions. The said apprehensions by the agents encompass 100,000 in February alone. It was dubbed to be a 26 percent surge in the previous month.

Meanwhile, VP Kamala Harris expressed her gratitude towards President Joe Biden for believing in her in addressing the border issue.

In line with the surge of migrants, Harris is expected to work with Mexico and the Northern Triangle to monitor and address the movement of migrants trying to seek asylum on the southern U.S. border.

Harris cleared that people should not enter the border. However, she believes that the law must be enforced. Harris also highlighted the importance of addressing the root causes that drives people to go to the Southern borders.

"It's not her full responsibility and job, but she's leading the effort," said Biden emphasizing that the best thing to do is to put someone in the post who will not make people wonder if that is also the sentiments of the President.

Arizona Governor Ducey's remarks about Kamala Harris being the White House Key person on the border are aligned with the criticism of the Republicans with Biden. For weeks, Republicans have been voicing out their opinions regarding the unaccompanied migrant children's surge.
