Before She Was Biden’s “Border Czar,” Kamala Misappropriated
Millions in Federal Grants Meant To Combat Border Crimes

As district attorney for San Francisco, Kamala Harris misappropriated over $5 million in federal grants that were intended to combat border crimes, according to a 2010 Department of Justice audit.

Records show that Harris, while serving as chief prosecutor of the sanctuary city from 2004 to 2011, requested millions of dollars from the Department of Justice’s Southwest Border Prosecution Initiative. The program reimburses local prosecutors for handling “illegal immigration and drug and alien smuggling cases” referred to them by federal authorities.

But a DOJ inspector general audit report found that none of the cases that Harris’s office filed for reimbursement were eligible under the program. The city was forced to pay back the improper funding claims.

The report suggests that Harris has struggled to manage border crime issues dating back to the early days of her political career.

Harris, who serves as the point person for Biden’s migrant policies as vice president, has faced criticism from Republicans for failing to slow the surge in illegal immigration and border crime.

“I think she’s been consistent throughout her political career, whether she was D.A., a California attorney general, a senator,” said Ira Mehlman, media director for the Federation for American Immigration Reform. “Her entire record was about not enforcing immigration laws, [and] making sure that the people who violate those laws are not prosecuted or removed in any way.”

Jon Feere, a former Immigrations and Customs Enforcement official and investigator at the Center for Immigration Studies, said there has “not been any initiative by Kamala Harris, the border czar, to discourage illegal immigration or stop the fallout from open borders, going back to her time as district attorney.”

“She doesn’t see a problem with victimization, and thinks that the policies are more important than any harm to American citizens,” he said.

In between naps, Biden gave VP Kamala Harris four significant jobs:
<><>border czar (money no object),
<><>she had $5 billion to build electric school buses (part of Biden’s infrastructure bill),
<><>and $90 billion tax dollars to get high speed internet into rural areas.
<><> Biden gave Harris a key role in AI-—artificial intelligence high tech innovations.

She failed at all four jobs.

what happened to the billions of tax dollars?


And this Harris campaign disaster.

High tech Intel was a huge beneficiary of the highly touted “Biden/Harris Chips Act” last March........an $8.5 billion outright grant (with attendant billion dollar insider bonuses), a $25 billion sweetheart tax incentive (part of Biden/Harris’ cockamamie $11 billion federal “loan program” as they spent trillions of tax dollars).

What did we, the people, get in exchange? Intel this week announced it was laying off 15% of its workforce — 15,000 positions. American taxpayers lost twice: billions of tax dollars and a weakened economy minus thousands of jobs.
