During the recent Democratic National Convention in Chicago, the spotlight shone brightly on Vice President Kamala Harris, who is becoming a focal point for a rebranding effort by liberals. This time, they seem intent on presenting her narrative as a “tough on the border” prosecutor. However, this portrayal raises eyebrows, as it starkly contrasts with the realities observed under her role as President Biden’s Border Czar. The U.S. has witnessed an unprecedented surge in illegal immigration, raising concerns that could fuel numerous seasons of a reality series titled “Border Chaos.” It’s ironic to note that Harris has undertaken just one visit to the border, spending a mere few hours there—hardly the hallmark of a dedicated advocate for border integrity.
Previously, Harris expressed deep concern over the previous administration’s failure to account for 545 undocumented immigrant children. Ironically, her own administration has lost track of over 290,000 children, highlighting significant inconsistencies in the management of this critical issue. While she notes the importance of child welfare in her statements, the staggering numbers reflect a need for reassessment in policy and execution.
The issue of illegal immigration continues to escalate, with over 10 million undocumented individuals entering the United States during Harris’s tenure. Among these are individuals from conflict zones, raising concerns regarding public safety and the vetting process currently in place. Instead of diligent scrutiny, many appear to be placed in accommodations typically reserved for tourists—hotels—transforming a complex crisis into what seems like a vacation scenario. Notably, the Tren de Aragua gang from Venezuela has reportedly exploited these welcoming policies, bringing along a pattern of violence that exacerbates challenges for local communities.
Not Even the Media Is Buying Kamala’s Latest Ad About the Border
In an effort to improve her public image regarding border policies, Harris’s team has launched a new television advertisement. Nevertheless, even journalists sympathetic to her cause have expressed skepticism, questioning the validity of her claims. The ad features images of Trump’s border wall, a symbol that the Democratic Party had long opposed. This has led to confusion among constituents and industry veterans alike, as they grapple with the implications of endorsing a project they once ridiculed.
In a pointed contrast, former President Donald Trump recently visited the Arizona border, highlighting the consequences of the current administration’s immigration stance. Accompanied by victims of violence linked to policies implemented during Harris’s time as District Attorney in San Francisco, Trump’s visit served as a poignant reminder of the real-life implications of border security failures. One of the attendees tragically experienced severe harm due to an illegal immigrant released by the previous policies. This personal account stressed the urgent need for accountability and actionable immigration reform.
