Nominal Vice President Kamala Harris sat down for a series of softball questions from NPR Monday and promptly blamed Congressional Republicans for the border crisis. The only surprise was that she didn’t figure out a way to blame the Left’s feared and loathed Emmanuel Goldstein figure, Donald Trump, for the fiasco of our open Southern border. But anyone who has been paying attention knows who is really responsible for the never-ending influx of migrants, an influx that promises to inflict poverty and rising crime on Americans for years to come: Harris herself, her putative boss Joe Biden, and those who are really running this administration.
Harris told NPR that the problem at the border stemmed from Republicans refusing to cooperate: “And sadly, what we have seen in particular, I am sad to say, from Republicans in Congress is an unwillingness to engage in any meaningful reform that could actually fix a lot of what we are witnessing.”
By “meaningful reform,” Harris means the removal of any remaining restrictions on entry into the United States, so that virtually anyone can come in at any time for any reason without any difficulty. That’s essentially the case already, but Harris, Biden, and their henchmen want this chaotic situation codified into law. “I think that there is so much that needs to happen to address the issue,” she said. “Reform of our immigration system can only happen through Congress in terms of the passage of an immigration bill that allows for a legal pathway to citizenship and a legal presence in the country.”
Remember, Kamala Harris is Old Joe Biden’s “Border Czar,” although after she was given that job early in the present dumpster fire, er, administration, she raised eyebrows by never actually visiting the border she was supposed to fix. When NBC’s Lester Holt asked her why she hadn’t been to the site of the crisis she was supposed to be working on ending, she snapped, “And I haven’t been to Europe, I don’t understand the point you’re making.”
She might not have gone because there was nothing there she was interested in seeing: As far as she was concerned, there was apparently no crisis at all. In September, Harris declared, “The border is secure, but we also have a broken immigration system, in particular, over the last four years before we came in, and it needs to be fixed.” This once again suggested that the problem wasn’t the massive numbers of people streaming into the country, but the lack of an established mechanism to give them immediate citizenship and register them as Democrats. Harris continued, “We have a secure border in that that is a priority for any nation, including ours and our administration. But there are still a lot of problems that we are trying to fix given the deterioration that happened over the last four years. We also have to put into place a law and a plan for a pathway for citizenship for the millions of people who are here and are prepared to do what is legally required to gain citizenship.”
What did Harris mean by “the deterioration that happened over the last four years”? She was obviously referring to the Trump administration and claiming that Biden’s handlers had fixed some problem at the border that they found upon taking office. So let’s look at the record. According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, in 2020, 458,088 people were apprehended crossing the border. In 2021, Old Joe’s first year in office, that number nearly quadrupled, to 1,734,686. In 2022, the number shot up again, to 2,378,944. That’s the “deterioration” Harris was talking about: not the essential erasure of our nation’s Southern border, but the prevention of that erasure. The problem that Harris said that the administration was “trying to fix” was not that America is open and vulnerable to its enemies, but that for four years, it was less open and vulnerable.
What the remaining sane Americans see as a border crisis, Kamala Harris and her cohorts see as a fine state of affairs. The only border crisis they see is that the dastardly Republicans, those threats to Our Democracy, won’t immediately grant American citizenship to everyone on the face of the planet. So of course she blames the Republicans for the border crisis. There would be no border crisis if they were just socialist internationalists like everyone else, intent on erasing the very idea of a nation-state. If it weren’t for them, our blissful socialist utopia may already have dawned.
Biden and Harris Dumb and Dumber is no longer the titles to a series of Bad Movies their for Real
I have no argument with the nature of your comment itself., but please learn spelling, usage, sentence structure, etc. before you post again. Semiliterate posts do not help our credibility and legitimacy.
Good ole Kammie indirectly blamed Trump by referencing the mess left by the previous four years. You Know, the boarder wall and the Stay in Mexico policy “mess”.
BTW I saw on F&F this AM that apparently Biden finally heard what was really happening on the Southern boarder and shouted the F bomb several times loud enough for everyone in the WH to hear. So now the search for the culprit who left the TV on FOX, Newsmax, ANMO or (God forbid) AHC begins. I’m betting its one of those elusive white supremacy groups.
And our garbage “news media” just records her and her boss spewing what objectively are lies, writes them down, and dutifully parrot them out there without comment or criticism.
Kamala Harris sounds like an idiot, and Joe Biden—well, I’ve been wondering why he’s sporadically sounding more coherent (?) because he’s suffering borderline dementia, obviously. Someone must be helping the man by some editing tricks? Or, perhaps he’s trying some new medication.
Maybe Hunter provides a little “somethin’ somethin” occasionally, to give Joe a little “jolt back towards reality…
“And sadly, what we have seen in particular, I am sad to say, from Republicans in Congress is an unwillingness to engage in any meaningful reform that could actually fix a lot of what we are witnessing.”
She’s an idiot, but she does know the audience she is playing for. Inner city people will hear, believe, and repeat this lie. With no more proof needed than the off-white color of her skin.
WPE and WVPE.
EVER !
Testimony to a duped, ignorant, stupid electorate incapable of Critical Thinking plus an incredibly biased and equally Un-Critically Thinking mass media Complex, to adopt a term Eisenhower used when I was just a kid barely old enough to vote!
With the presidency, and both branches of congress under their belt for two years, Democrats had the hammer. They did not need Republicans to set policy. The last two years have been exclusively Democrat policy.
The mayor of Denver made an appeal to congress about the illegals overwhelming his city. He then appealed for more money to handle the problem.
Gee, I thought closing the border would be an even better solution, tremendously, less money. But, I am thinking of the American people, it is overwhelmingly clear, the democrats aren’t in the least bit interested in what would be better for the American people.
I’m just so bummed out because of how the midterm election turned out. At least conservatives have the house, but we are stuck with too many Rino Republicrats. I knew that the election would be close. I’m so very disappointed about the Senate.
Every Hispanic citizen that I’ve spoken to about what’s happening at the southern border is appalled at that horrific situation. And they don’t want their children to be exposed and/or indoctrinated into the Leftist dogma, which includes drag shows. Our current government leadership (whoever they are) have proven that they are stupid and insane almost every time they speak. My Hispanic friends share the same sentiment. 🧐
I wish I were smarter and better-informed and understood the term *Hispanic*
Consuela on *South Park* is Hispanic and so are the guys doing your neighbors’ landscaping but how about former-President Vincent Fox and these other people:

Alberto Fujimori? Hispanic? Certainly not *White Hispanic* like Zimmerman . . .
I really wish I were cleverer sometimes.
