September 29, 2024 – After nearly three years of overseeing the border crisis, Vice President Kamala Harris, who was appointed as the administration’s “border czar,” finally made a visit to the southern border this past Friday. The long-awaited appearance comes after her administration’s controversial open-border policies unleashed a wave of illegal immigration, leaving communities across the country grappling with the consequences.
The numbers are staggering. According to a report from ICE, there are currently 662,000 illegal immigrants with criminal backgrounds on its docket. Additionally, the Department of Homeland Security has admitted to tracking over 425,000 illegal immigrants who have been convicted of various crimes, while another 226,000 are awaiting criminal charges. These individuals, whose presence Harris has supported with lax immigration policies, now roam freely through our communities.
Despite this, Harris decided to make light of the situation during her visit. On Friday, she delivered a tone-deaf speech that focused on attacking Donald Trump instead of addressing the crisis she and President Joe Biden helped create. The Vice President, often dubbed “Cackling Kamala” for her dismissive and often inappropriate laughter, has come under fire for her inept handling of the border situation. This time, her attempt to appear concerned was met with widespread skepticism.
Adding insult to injury, Harris admitted partial “responsibility” for the border crisis but immediately shifted blame, making vague promises about future action. She asserted that, if given another four years, she would implement stricter immigration policies than Biden’s. However, this pledge rings hollow after nearly four years of failure to secure the border.
During her appearance, Harris repeated the same empty slogans she’s known for, claiming that she would “secure the border” and “reduce illegal crossings” if re-elected. Her promises, however, are hard to take seriously, given that she’s had years to act and failed to deliver results.
Harris also made headlines when she shockingly referred to illegal immigrants as “American in every way,” revealing just how out of touch she is with the concerns of average Americans. Under her administration, undocumented migrants not only evade punishment for breaking U.S. laws but are rewarded with free healthcare, housing, food allowances, and even the right to vote in some areas.
It’s no wonder Americans are rejecting Harris’s empty rhetoric. They see through her attempts to appease voters, knowing that she has coddled illegal immigrants and criminals for years. The administration’s policies have only worsened the immigration crisis, and Harris’s visit to the border was too little, too late.
As election season heats up, it’s clear that Harris’s insincere promises and attempts to rewrite her record on immigration won’t fool voters.
