Harris highlighted that this individual, who is originally from El Salvador, should not be in Maryland. Harris stated,
"Governor, he is already home. He is an illegal immigrant. El Salvador is his home—not Maryland."

"While no action can undo the pain felt by Patty Morin and her family, she took a stand today to share her powerful story in the White House Briefing room." He accused them of defending illegal immigrants over addressing the needs of their constituents.Harris also spoke to Fox News about Rachel Morin, his former constituent, who was murdered by an illegal immigrant from El Salvador. He criticized Chris Van Hollen for focusing on international matters instead of domestic issues. Harris commented,
