On Friday’s broadcast of NewsNation’s “The Hill,” Rep. John Garamendi (D-CA) stated that 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris “did what she was supposed to do” with her assignment on the border.
Garamendi said, “I think she has a very, very good argument to make on the border. This border czar issue is just incorrect. She was given a very specific task of dealing with the Central American countries. She got about $5 billion into those countries and a very, very significant reduction in the number of asylum seekers leaving those countries. So, in that sense, she did what she was supposed to do. Going forward, yeah, immigration is going to be an issue. But, frankly, the Republicans and Trump have a very severe problem. The bipartisan bill…border guards, dealing with the necessary processes of those people, also providing ways of shutting down, all of that was in the bipartisan bill. And guess who killed it? Donald Trump, all by his little lonesome, killed that major effort and the billions of dollars that were going to be spent to shore up the border. So, he has a vulnerability. When it comes to that debate. I will guarantee you she’ll put that right back in front of him and say, why did you kill the bill that could have made a major effort into solving the problem?”

He is most likely telling the truth this time. She did what she was instructed to do about the border i.e what she was supposed to do.
No, she didn’t.
VP Oath of Office = I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.
Every one of these politicians supporting this INVASION should be immediately Deported to Venezuela when Trump takes office.
That’s right, Heels Up Harris did as instructed, which was nothing, basically eliminate the border and pay lip service to the problem.
She’s fantastic about following commands, things like “get on your knees”, etc..
Heard on another site: Harris-Walz sounds like Hairy Balls.
The only problem why did they wait three years to put up a border bill and why did they kill his 86 executive orders on the bill.
Exactly. She was ordered to let every Tom, Dick, and Miguel across the border.
Isn’t this fossil gone yet? I swear I used to see him on TV all the time when I was a California kid in the 70’s.
In a way he’s right..she did get what she wanted, they all did..a country with 20 million more illegal aliens to vote Democrat
$5 billion would easily finish the wall and more.
Yes indeed!
Whatever obama wants, obama gets...
She spread our collective legs and shouted: “Come and get it!”
These statements are such nonsense.
He’s saying that the focus was on stopping illegal aliens from certain central American countries.
Yet Millions from around the world ,, from dozens of other countries not in Central America , have been flooding across our border.
Democrat apologists such as this guy have nothing to say about that specific subject.
I agree.
Yeah, she did, if her job was to open it up.
True, she did what she was supposed to do to stop the administration-enabled and taxpayer-financed mass invasion of illegal aliens (including Islamic terrorists and Mexican drug pushers)
She did Nothing (which was what she was supposed to do)
She wasn't supposed to do a dammed thing about the border...and she didn't.
Agreed. She did what she was supposed to. Too bizee unburdening from what has been.
She was ordered to do nothing to stop the flow of illegals. I guess you can say she did her job.
If you are a Democrat, this is true. She ignored it and let it happen because they need the Democrat votes.
