“The United States will continue to enforce our laws and secure our border.”

Not since Jan 21st...

Of course you don’t get the point, you blithering idiot. The only thing that you are “good” at is sucking at your job. Beyond that, you don’t do anything.

The tool Kamala lies about everything. She is in so far above her qualifications.

…We’ve been to the border,” Harris said. “So this whole – this whole – this whole thing about the border. We’ve been to the border. We’ve been to the border.”

Refresh my memory. Who was it who said, “if you tell the same lie enough, people will believe it.”?

Being Willie Brown’s “mattress” for 20+ yrs was certainly no work.

Most politicians know they have to make public relations photo op appearances and mouth platitudes. If she still doesn’t get that then the Dems will have a real problem with her as President soon.

Example: While he was Governor of Michigan Rick Snyder invited camera crews to video his wearing a suit and a construction hard hat and using a clean shovel to start the road construction work with the first action. Silly and nonsensical. But that’s politics. Same as eating an ear of sweet corn in front of Iowa farmers. Opposite: Sen Cruz enjoying the beach. And Harris being thousands of miles away from the crying children torn from their mothers’ arms at the border (allegedly). AOC went there and cried more than the children did.

All symbolic but that’s how it works.

“NBC’s Lester Holt...pushed back, noting Harris had not been to the border herself while in office. “

Lester better be wearing comfortable shoes because I predict he will be looking for a new job by the end of the day! ;)

– and I haven’t been to Europe

Yes, Madame Vice President. But Europe is not illegally coming to our borders in the hundred thousands annually

You’re VPOTUS. If you were at the border there would be pictures.

It’s called s photo op dunce.

I get you don’t want your likeness tied to the commie disaster at the border, but we can all see right through you.

Thing is she knows Joe will be gone soon, so feels empowered like when she finishes willy brown off.

She thinks the whole of America is Willy Brown.

But what is the point of her going down there? It’s hard to imagine how things could get worse, but I’m quite confident that she would make them worse. And by keeping her distance she can put all the blame on CornPop, Mayorkas and Blinken.

What is happening on the border is all according to their plan. Probably not her plan, as she is just the public face of it, but it is the plan of of the anonymous puppet masters that pull her puppet strings.

I’ll go out on a limb and say that almost everyone on here thought that CornPop would already be gone and she’d be in the White House. I didn’t think he’d last 3 months. And maybe that was the plan, but something may have happened. Maybe the puppet masters gave her way too much “credit” and soon realized that she is just as incompetent and dumb as CornPop, possibly more, if that’s possible. But given the protection she’d get for being a woman and being “black”...which she isn’t but that’s how they’d prop her up...she’d potentially be out of their grasp. Therefore, she could be a bit more uncontrollable and unpredictable.

Also, I think she’s realizing that when she was in the Senate, no matter how loud she got, no matter how dumb she sounded. no matter how incompetent she was, no matter how nasty she was, she was 1 of 100. She could hide. She gets out in front, on any of this, and it is all on her. I don’t think she wants that spotlight. Easy to say....If I were President, I’d do this or I’d do that”....well, now she’s one short step from it and possibly realizing that she wants no part of it.

Either way, she’s nasty, she’s an idiot, she’s incompetent, and she knows how she got there.

She makes a good point about addressing the root causes, but she could’ve stopped at the border on the way to Guatemala.

“Impossible for her to KNOW what’s happening at the border, if she hasn’t BEEN THERE.”

In my business career I learned quickly there is no substitute for a site visit whether it is to a company factory, a supplier factory, or a customer’s location. Site visits are necessary to validate the information you are receiving, as well as to see what you aren’t being told.

Unfortunately, even if Kamala went to the border, her Marxist globalist ideology blinds her to the truth, so a visit will be a waste of time. Kamala is not going to visit the BLM and national park land spoiled by the trash and destruction of thousands of immigrants crossing the land. She will not visit a ranch to talk to private landowners who are dealing daily with drug and human trafficking on their land. The border locations she does visit will not have overcrowding and children in “cages”.

Time is on her side. The illegals are being resettled across the country and are becoming the burden of local communities. When Kamala finally goes to the border, the locations and press will be tightly controlled and every activity carefully staged and scripted. Kamala will declare victory and the press will applaud. From then on there will be no border problem. Social media censors will eliminate any dissent.

If the GOP were truly an opposition party, GOP members of Congress would be visiting the border every week and would be coming back to Washington to scream on the Capitol steps about the conditions there. How many visits has “Mitch” made to the border this year. What about Romney? Why doesn’t Trump himself make a visit? To his credit, Kevin McCarthy went in March. However, one visit doesn’t win a war. The pressure on the Democrats needs to be constant. Unfortunately Republicans are incapable of a sustained offensive.
