Why hasn't Kamala been to the border?

From CNN.,.

The response came during an interview with NBC's Lester Holt that aired Tuesday in which Harris was pressed about the fact that she hasn't yet visited the US-Mexico border.

"At some point, you know, we are going to the border," Harris said in the interview. "We've been to the border. So this whole, this whole, this whole thing about the border. We've been to the border. We've been to the border."

Holt responded: "You haven't been to the border."

"I, and I haven't been to Europe. And I mean, I don't -- I don't understand the point that you're making," Harris said with a laugh. She added: "I'm not discounting the importance of the border."

The vice president's team, for their part, were frustrated by what they perceive to be questioning driven by Republican attacks falsely painting her as the administration's border czar, rather than focused on the root causes of migration.

As it became clear on Tuesday that her answers were distracting from her broader trip, Harris decided to change her tune -- acknowledging that she would eventually visit the border, without specifying when.”

Thanks! So, it's a nothingburger. 

They are asking her because she was put in charge of it. Answering with a misleading statement and then when called on that, answering with a flippant remark, then laughing while playing dumb, is not really answering the question. 

Right, except sideways comes in with her dumbass comments insulting the OP, and then goes on to brag she doesn't need the news to form her own opinions, lol. Clueless and uninformed that one is.

When the democrats who live with this crisis at the border are asking her to come and saying why she should come and how it would help, it's a meaningful question being asked by people on both sides.

“Vice President Kamala Harris will be the White House's point person on immigration issues at the nation's southern border, President Joe Biden announced Wednesday, tasking her with stemming the rising tide of migrants, many of them unaccompanied children, arriving in the U.S.

"I can think of nobody who is better qualified to do this,” the president told reporters at the White House.

Harris’ main focus, a senior administration official told reporters earlier Wednesday, will be two-pronged: working to slow the flow of “irregular migrants” by addressing “the root causes” that prompt them to leave their home countries as well as strengthening relationships with Mexico and the Northern Triangle countries where the bulk of the migrants arriving at the U.S. border come from.


The role puts Harris front-and-center at one of the most politically risky issues for the White House as it struggles with an influx of migrant children at the southern border. Harris acknowledged this, saying there “is no question this is a challenging situation,” but said that she would be looking forward to discussions with the leaders of the nations.

On the call with reporters, aides made clear that Harris would not be owning the entire immigration portfolio for the administration and would be instead focused on long-term efforts in Central America.

“[Harris] is going to be focused on overseeing our diplomatic efforts, working closely with these nations to look at the issues of migration and their own enforcement on their own borders," the senior administration official said. "More broadly, though, she's going to be working to implement a long-term strategy that gets at the root causes of migration.”

As a presidential candidate, Biden proposed spending $4 billion over four years to tackle violence, climate change and government corruption in the Northern Triangle region — comprised of El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. This is the process Harris will oversee.

“We can talk all day about the symptoms of the situation, but you really have to get at what is causing this phenomenon, and that will be her focus,” the official said. “We are proceeding both with a sense of decency about treating migrants like human beings and doing the very best we can to care for people and treating our neighbors with respect and dignity.”

Harris’ new responsibility is similar to one Biden had while he was vice president. He visited the region several times as more migrants from the three countries began to make their way en masse to the U.S.-Mexico border. Those efforts were seen as largely unsuccessful, and the situation in the countries has grown even more precarious.

When asked what the president learned from that effort, Ambassador Roberta Jacobson, a special assistant to the president who previously served as the U.S. envoy to Mexico, said in a press briefing: “Both the President and all of us who worked for him on that learned a great deal. And I think that it’s really important that we put that to use now. One of the things he thinks is so important is being really explicit with leadership in the countries from which migrants are coming about commitments that they need to make, because overcoming the reasons people migrate is not going to be the United States’ job alone.”

The administration didn’t share details on when Harris would start conversations with leaders or when the vice president would make a trip to any of the countries. But in an interview with CBS on Wednesday, Harris said she and Biden would be headed to the border soon. “


Let me repeat this from the story…

“On the call with reporters, aides made clear that Harris would not be owning the entire immigration portfolio for the administration and would be instead focused on long-term efforts in Central America.”



Her responsibility is to get at the “root causes” of the reason people are coming to our southern border.  And she did say both her and President Biden will visit the border.  Yet the only person getting heat for not visiting the border for a photo op is Vice President Harris and not President Biden.  Why is that I wonder?

“Vice President Kamala Harris will be the White House's point person on immigration issues at the nation's southern border, President Joe Biden announced Wednesday, tasking her with stemming the rising tide of migrants, many of them unaccompanied children, arriving in the U.S."

 Bitchy and cunty is what you are. 😙

Don’t worry, folks, the governor of Texas has cleared out a whole state prison to house the kids dropped off by coyotes in the desert and women being trafficked, along with the single men who come here to pick vegetables and mow lawns.

I’m sure that will totally solve the problem.

From CNN about trump’s staying in Mexico Plan.,,

“Under Trump, migrants from Central America and other parts of the world who were seeking asylum at the US-Mexico border were forced to remain in Mexico until their immigration court hearings in the United States. That meant waiting months, if not years, in deplorable conditions and under the threat of extortion, sexual assault and kidnapping. Migrants can be easy identified based on their accents or attire and as a result, fall prey to gangs and corrupt authorities, among others.”

You still think this a great plan?

One of the major root causes of uninformed opinions is relying on Hannity as a news source.

Sure. Which of your favorite news entertainers has you continually using Democrat instead of Democratic to describe our representatives, then?

I suppose you think Abbott’s plan to round them all up and put them in an old prison will really do the trick.

When troll threads like these happen, I can’t help but think of that famous Sartre quote about anti-Semites, which easily applies to Trumpers.

Here it is in full:

“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

Trolling existed long before the internet. All the accounts who’ve miraculously reappeared are here for fun, so please do not feed the Energy Creatures, especially the little dancing goblin who leaves her poop everywhere.
