Kamala Harris is coming to the border. Of course, it has nothing to do with the fact that Donald Trump is going to be along the border with Texas governor Abbott next week. It has nothing to do with the pressure being put on her by Republican politicians along with some Democrats like Representative Cuellar. the official explanation is that this government determined this was the best time based upon several factors. You citizens don't need to know what factors those were.
Joe Biden says Kamala is doing a fantastic job as the border czar. It's interesting that he would say that. When he was tasked with dealing with border issues when Barack Obama was in the White House, he left a European junket to come to the border the very next day. He didn't accomplish anything but at least the optics were much better than his second in command.
Why El Paso? That is really safe part of the border. it will provide some easily staged photograph opportunities that will downplay the reality of the border and fit the narrative being pushed by this administration and their friends in the media. She will not visit the migrant camp located at Fort Bliss even though it will be a few hundred yards away from her plane. That would be an opportunity for her political opponents to ask why these camps are any different from the ones that existed under the predecessor and were widely criticized by the Democrats. They may have to answer questions about the assault on children and women that are occurring in these camps. We can't have accountability, now can we?
I will give credit to Representative Henry Cuellar, D-TX for standing up to his party's leaders and criticizing Kamala Harris for not coming to the lower part of the Rio Grande border. He correctly points out that is where the majority of problems exist with not just the tremendous number of people coming across the border illegally but the rampant drug runners and human traffickers that are among them.
She might also have to talk to the residents that are seeing a 300% increase in violent crimes in their towns and cities. She might be faced with talking to Border Patrol agents that are seeing the 10s of thousands of people that are not apprehended make their way into the interior of the United States. She might accidentally expose her entourage to the truth of the border crisis.
Once again I will ask those of you that supported Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to tell me what you like about the job they are doing. It must be the fact that they are the consummate politicians: they know they can lie to you and you will believe it. Never mind what your eyes see and your mind tells you.
