The Socialist Democrats, who nominated Vice President Kamala Harris as their presidential candidate, seem to want to discuss Harris' title rather than her accomplishments. Even the left-wing media calls her the “border emperor,” but the Democrats don't like this title because it highlights that she has not brought any solutions to the chaos and crisis at the border.
And why don't they want to discuss her job title, rather than her failure to perform her job? Under her watch, 2 million unidentified “fugitives” entered the country, and over 250,000 were contaminated with fentanyl. Overdose deathsover 100,000 people Unaccompanied Children People who go missing across borders (remember the left's outrage over “family separations”?) and terrorist and criminal gangs. It has been It was distributed throughout the United States.
No wonder she wants to talk about positions rather than policy failures. (RELATED: 'The story was wrong': CNN fact checker claims media mistakenly called Kamala 'border czar')
But ultimately, this distraction may not be enough for Americans to forget about Harris. Had to retreat She didn't get a single vote in the 2020 presidential primary, and she doesn't have a single vote to become the Democratic nominee in 2024.
While dishonest media outlets cover up what is happening at the border, there are numerous websites reporting on the ongoing border crisis. Below are some of the news stories reported in the past 10 days:
More than 6,000 illegal aliens, many of whom are likely illegal immigrants; Deleted From Virginia's voter rolls. Thanks to Governor Glenn Youngkin. Wait, didn't the dishonest media tell you that illegal immigrants don't register to vote or cast ballots?
Human Smuggler Pleaded guilty He was convicted in Texas of smuggling over 560 illegal immigrants into the country, and continued his human trafficking activities while out on bail.
Illegal immigration release A man in Alabama was shot and killed because of the policies of the Secretary of State for Border Affairs (Kamala Harris).
The Biden/Harris/Meierkus triumvirate (not sure how big a role Joe plays) quietly ended the illegal parole program. I had booked Up to 30,000 people enter the country each month from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela. People from these havens of peace and democracy have been found to be committing large amounts of identity theft and fraud, including the theft of Social Security numbers.
As House Judiciary Committee and Subcommittee on Immigration The reports of both committees (on which I sit) suggest that between 2021 and 2023, the Border Minister's policy will result in at least At least 99 people It's on the terror watch list.
Pakistanis with Iranian ties People who came to America A Pakistani man who entered the country with the intent of assassinating former President Donald Trump entered the country on parole. The FBI ostensibly allowed him to enter the country on parole and was going to arrest the Pakistani, but surely they already had sufficient reason to arrest him for illegal entry. Wasn't letting him enter a kind of Russian roulette? The fact that he was on parole alone showed that he was trying to enter the country without a visa or with a fraudulently obtained visa, and there was sufficient reason to arrest him immediately without allowing him to enter the country, so why did they grant him parole to facilitate the arrest?

Tragically, an 18-year-old illegal immigrant mother gave birth to a baby. Put the baby down The placenta was placed in a plastic bag and discarded. In the trash.
And finally, on August 7, U.S. Customs and Border Protection I sent a note It warned all field offices that Iran and its proxies may attempt to transport agents and supplies across the border. In the same memo, USCBP also notified field offices that the largest and most dangerous criminal organization based in Venezuela, Tren de Aragua, has already penetrated our porous southern border and is pumping “assets” into the Northeast.

You will not see these headlines and articles reporting on the ongoing crisis at our southern border and its impact on the country in the dishonest media that some call “mainstream media.”
This important information is going unnoticed because the media and the Radical Socialist Democrats are interested in shifting attention from Secretary Kamala's complete failure and disregard for border issues to whether Harris has been officially appointed “Secretary for Border Affairs.”
Neither the media nor Harris can be trusted.
In the end, Shakespeare was right: whatever you call a rose, it's a rose. Similarly, it doesn't really matter whether you call Kamala Harris the “border czar,” because she has destroyed our geographic integrity through her irresponsible incompetence and failure to secure our borders.
