“Let me be very clear, I am committed to making sure we provide a safe haven for those seeking asylum, period,” Harris said in an exclusive telephone interview with EFE after returning from her first international trip as vice president.

Whenever a politician says ‘let me be clear’ in any form, they’re lying.

So what’s her plan when 95% of the illegals are claiming asylum? Does she think they’re stupid and won’t pick up on this huge hint? And why does she care more for third world uneducated peasants than the American ppl she swore to defend?

Will they need a vaccine passport to get in? Or 5 negative tests? I bet not.

reminds me of how they use “obviously,” as in “obviously we care about the displaced oil & gas workers.”

The cackling VP is finished, toast after her failed trip to Guatemala, where she was ridiculed and sent packing.

We aren’t safe and neither, then, are they.

Harris cares more about illegal immigrants than citizens of the U.S.

The more exposure Harris is given, the more I understand why she could not attract even a 1% s level of support in the primaries. John Nance Garner, Roosevelt’s two term Vice President, once said that the position is “not worth a bucket of warm spit.” It’s nice to have a VP with a similar worth.
