Quote:The latest top polling is not looking good for Kamala Harris.
The NYT/Siena and Emerson College polls are showing former President Donald Trump ahead in critical battleground states.
So Harris knows she's in trouble and that's why she wants another debate. It also explains another move that she's making that is both desperate and hilarious. She's reportedly going to the border.
Multiple sources confirm Vice President Harris is making a trip to Arizona’s southern border—She is slated to fly into Tucson and travel down to Pima County.
Pima County is home to Lukeville—The site where hundreds of migrants mostly from Africa ended up waiting for days to be transported and processed for removal. The cartel was working around the clock, cutting the wall sending groups through the holes.
These are some of the sights from December. The issue and “bad optics” were then moved to a facility on the reservation—I am told that facility is no longer there.
I hope I am able to speak with the VP about her plans for the border if she wins.
That would be only Harris' second trip to the border in the last three-plus years occupying office. She did a prior hit-and-run visit for a few hours on her way to California from D.C. in 2021. She was met by Hispanic Trump supporters who nicknamed her "Que Mala" or "how bad."
You can see the videos above of people breaking into the country. All this illegal entry is going on now and she's doing nothing to stop it even though she's in power. Meanwhile it was much more secure under former President Donald Trump.
Who would believe this is anything other than a base attempt to try to cover and deflect from her three and half years of failure? You have to know if she's been pushed to take this action, it means she's in a hole and searching for how she can pump up her numbers, which are not good when it comes to the border.
But if she really cared she would have done something before now and delivered results, as former Chief of the Border Patrol Rodney Scott explained.
It's much too late now to pretend to do something. It's only about the election effort now and no one is going to buy it, as CNN commentator Scott Jennings pointed out.
He walks through how she was even chanting against deportation (with Jussie Smollett) at a protest and her prior bad history, including things like wanting to decriminalize entering illegally.
How could you trust anyone who behaves like that with the highest office in the land? We've already seen how badly she's handled it. It would be folly to put her back in charge.
Quote:Sometimes even the leftist cable news channel CNN has to admit when a Democrat is so disingenuous that they try to sell themselves as a type of person despite years of history of showing otherwise. Such is the case now, as Kamala Harris keeps trying to convince voters of a laughable narrative, namely that she's tough on the border. She's run ludicrous ads and made claims about her deep commitment to securing the southern boundary, and now she's planning on going down there Friday. To do what, exactly?
RedState's Nick Arama points out that the "Border Czar" has had plenty of opportunities in the past to address the problem:
That would be only Harris' second trip to the border in the last three-plus years occupying office. She did a prior hit-and-run visit for a few hours on her way to California from D.C. in 2021. She was met by Hispanic Trump supporters who nicknamed her "Que Mala" or "how bad."
It was too much for even CNN's National Politics Correspondent Eva McKend, who blasted the transparent move Tuesday and said that Harris can't escape her history.
Watch:
McKend points out that Harris is on record as being an "ally" to illegal immigrants:
The vice president has a long history, a well-documented history of really being an ally to these immigrant communities. She has two chapters in her book—"I Say We Fight" and "We Are Better Than This"—where she really makes a robust case for undocumented immigrants.
She railed against Trump's wall, engaged in fear-mongering, and even brought a so-called "Dreamer" to Congress. Not exactly the hallmarks of a "tough on the border" leader:
During the Trump administration, she talked about a climate of fear. She dismissed the border wall as ineffective and a waste of resources, and so even her guest at the joint Session of Congress was a DACA recipient, was a Dreamer, and so for her to go down there and characterize herself as tough on the border, it, to me, isn't consistent with a lot of the policy positions that she previously has espoused.
Exactly. McKend isn't the only one who noticed the hard-core gaslighting effort:
There is a funny angle to this story though, and it's the faces of the other panelists as McKend "demolishes"—to use Charlie Kirk's description from his above tweet—the soulless Harris. With rare exceptions, save for perhaps the excellent analysis of Scott Jennings, they're probably not used to hearing very much truth in their broadcasts. They didn't seem to like it:
Priceless:
Perhaps Kamala will sneak in a trip to Europe after her Arizona jaunt:
Quote:Vice President Kamala Harris, after having spent years ignoring the border crisis despite being appointed as the “border czar,” is finally making another trip to the southern border as she attempts to persuade the nation that she is truly intent on solving the crisis.
I’ll give you a minute to finish laughing.
You good? Okay, let’s continue.
Former President Donald Trump mocked Harris after reports of her planned visit surfaced.
Speaking to supporters in Georgia, Trump brought up reports Harris will travel to Arizona on Friday to see the border for the first time as the Democratic nominee.
“She’s going to the border very soon. She hasn’t been there for four years,” Trump said of Harris, adding that when she served as vice president, “she didn’t do anything.”
“When Kamala is seen at the border on Friday, she will pass hundreds of miles of wall that was built by Trump, and it’s wall that really works,” he added.
The criticism did not stop there. On Trump’s campaign website, his team pointed out Harris’ incompetence on the border issue, referring to her upcoming visit as “a con job.”
No eleventh hour visit by Kamala Harris to the southern border this week — her first in 1,187 days and the clearest indication yet of her humiliating desperation — can mask the unbearable devastation she has unleashed on innocent Americans.
It's a con job. Kamala opened the door to tens of millions of unvetted illegals from the worst parts of the world and imported violent criminals, terrorists, and gang members who have stolen Americans' jobs, housing, and sense of security.
Immigration has been a pressing issue for voters, especially after President Joe Biden and Harris took office. Shortly after, swarms of illegal immigrants and asylum seekers began traveling to the southern border to gain entry into the United States. The influx has overwhelmed major cities across the country as well as border towns.
Trump and others on the right have consistently lambasted the Biden-Harris administration for its failure to deal with the problem. During her stint as vice president, Harris only visited the southern border once – after a barrage of criticism coming from the left and right. She continually gave absurd excuses for neglecting the situation at the southern border.
Mr. Trump and Republicans have blamed Ms. Harris for the large numbers of migrants crossing into the United States from Mexico over the past several years. Early in his administration, Mr. Biden made Ms. Harris responsible for addressing the root causes of migration from Latin America.
But she struggled in that role and drew criticism after telling the NBC News host Lester Holt in a 2021 interview, when he asked why she had not yet visited the southern border, that she had “never been to Europe” either. The Trump campaign has used that exchange in advertisements attacking her record on immigration. Ms. Harris traveled to the border soon after her interview with Mr. Holt.
Harris’ visit is about as likely to convince voters that she is serious about the border crisis as I am to win a beauty pageant. The voting public already knows Trump would be a far better choice on the border if he is elected. A New York Times/Siena Poll revealed that 54 percent favored the former president on immigration while only 43 percent preferred Harris.
Quote:On Tuesday, Fox News' Bill Melugin took to X (formerly Twitter) to inform us that he had reached out to the Kamala Harris campaign to find out if Vice President Harris were to win the big chair, would she retain the existing Harris/Biden border policies - which she supposedly oversaw in her role as Border Czarina.
You might note, as Mr. Melugin points out, that the Harris campaign didn't answer the question.
Melugin's X post states in part:
The campaign provided me a statement that did not answer those questions. The campaign said instead that she supports the bipartisan border bill, and would sign it.
That bill would have immediately ended the use of the CBP One cell phone app for paroling migrants into the U.S., but it would have kept the CHNV migrant flights parole program in place.
Both programs combined have allowed over 1.3 million migrants to enter the U.S. lawfully since the Biden admin started them less than two years ago in late 2022 & early 2023.
800,000+ via the CBP One App.
530,000 via CHNV migrant flights.
CHNV stands for "Processes for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans," a program that provides - for some reason - expedited legal entry into the United States for people from these countries.
DHS has announced processes through which nationals of Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, and their immediate family members, may request to come to the United States in a safe and orderly way. Qualified beneficiaries who are outside the United States and lack U.S. entry documents may be considered, on a case-by-case basis, for advanced authorization to travel and a temporary period of parole for up to two years for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit. To participate, eligible beneficiaries must:
Have a supporter in the United States;
Undergo and clear robust security vetting;
Meet other eligibility criteria; and
Warrant a favorable exercise of discretion.
The question is, why? One can be certain the residents of Springfield, Ohio, as well as many other places, would appreciate an answer to this question.
A cynical and suspicious observer may well speculate that the reason for this is to import an entire class of new voters who, once naturalized - or perhaps (let's say this very softly) even sooner - will be reliable voters for the party that welcomed them in and provided the cornucopia of free stuff, that is, the Democrats. Granted these countries are some pretty miserable places and we can't really blame people for wanting to get while the gettin's good.
But since when is it America's responsibility to take in everyone from every third-world cesspit on the planet? Our resources are not without limit, and our patience is not without end. Why must we continue to be the world's safety net?
Let's be real about this: Kamala Harris (who by the way grew up in a middle-class family), should she be elected, will continue to do what she has been doing on the border and immigration in general - nothing. Under a Harris/Walz administration - and yes, the very thought makes one shudder - the borders will remain open, the flights of millions of "migrants" from various third-world countries will continue, and the American taxpayers will continue to be stuck with the tab.
