Texas GOP Gov. Greg Abbott on Monday announced the state’s first-ever Border Czar to address the influx of migrants coming through the Southern Border. Abbott tapped veteran Border Patrol agent Mike Banks to serve as Special Advisor on Border Matters to the Governor in response to the Biden administration’s handling of the border crisis. “For nearly two years, the State of Texas has taken unprecedented, historic action under Operation Lone Star in response to the Biden Administration’s refusal to secure the border,” Abbott said at a press conference on a border wall construction site in San Benito, Texas. “To continue...

VIDEOAs you can see in this clip from a 2016 debate when she was running for the U.S. Senate, the future Border Czar used to be a speed speaker. Perhaps Kamala Harris also has another future career as an auctioneer.

VIDEOIt's on! A stiff competition between Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and Border Czar Kamala Harris as to who is the most inept do-nothing member of the failing Biden administration.

We have finally gotten a glimpse of the new YouTube series starring Kamala Harris, and it’s just as cringeworthy as you could imagine. In fact, it might be the most cringeworthy thing she’s ever done (and that’s saying a lot). Harris is famously disingenuous , and this video does nothing to help that reputation. In the clip below, you see Kamala awkwardly using some sort of “Narrators voice” as she’s talking to the kids about space exploration. “I just love the idea of exploring the unknown,” Harris says in an awkward tone of voice. “And then, there’s other things that...

El Paso, Texas – More than three months after Biden assigned Kamala Harris to manage the border crisis, she is finally traveling to the US-Mexico border for the first time in El Paso, Texas on Friday, June 25 – but only after President Trump vowed to go first. Although the specifics of her visit have not yet been released, Harris’ senior adviser and chief spokesperson confirmed that she will be accompanied by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Kamala Harris made it a priority to schedule foreign trips to Guatemala and Mexico earlier this month to address “root causes” of the...

More than 50 House GOP lawmakers called on President Joe Biden to relieve Vice President Kamala Harris of her duties in handling the U.S.–Mexico border crisis. The Republicans, as they have done for months, noted that Harris hasn’t yet visited the border amid a surge in illegal immigration. Some Democratic lawmakers who represent areas along the border have also called on the vice president to take more action, including a visit to the area. Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-Wis.) and 55 other Republicans in the House demanded Harris’s removal from her border assignment, citing recent Customs and Border Protection data that...

To say Kamala Harris’ avoidance of the southern border of the United States is awkward is as obvious as Joe Biden’s embarrassing representation of the United States at the G7 Summit. World leaders and journalists literally laughed at Biden on multiple occasions just as surely as people cringe whenever Harris tries to deflect about her border avoidance.There seems to be a simple solution. She can go to the border. She’s the Vice President of the United States of America, which means she has time to do whatever she wants and the resources to make it happen. At this point it’s...

Meanwhile, the world will giggle and dance its way past Border Czar Kamala Harris, who—even if she someday gets to replace Joe Biden—will never be America’s Superhero President. Having no little ones of her own, but only adult step children through her husband, Kamala Harris doesn’t realize that children spot a phoney smile whenever it’s flashed their way. Long a Legend in Her Own Mind Kids can’t be fooled by politicians, only adults can. Thirty-Two days after their arrival in America, ‘Border Czar’ Harris can’t be bothered to see how kids in cages are doing health and care wise, but...

President Biden’s “border czar” is stepping down amid the surge of migrants to the US-Mexico border that the White House has refused to acknowledge as a crisis. Former US ambassador to Mexico Roberta Jacobson will retire at the end of the month, with National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan saying Friday that the move was “consistent with her commitment at the outset to serve in the Administration’s first 100 days.” President Biden’s “border czar” is stepping down amid the surge of migrants to the US-Mexico border that the White House has refused to acknowledge as a crisis.

The White House's border coordinator will resign at the end of the month amid a historic surge in migrants at the southern border. Roberta S. Jacobson, the former ambassador to Mexico who was Biden's border 'czar' on the National Security Council, announced the move in an interview with The New York Times. She praised Biden's efforts to 'repair and recast' the nation's immigration system and slammed Donald Trump.

President Donald Trump announced Friday that former Acting Director of ICE Tom Homan would be the new immigration czar for his administration. Trump broke the news during a morning phone conversation with Fox and Friends. The president said that Homan would take a “border czar” position and would report directly to him.“He’ll be a border czar, he’ll be very much involved with the border, he’ll be reporting directly to me, he’ll be probably be working out of the White House but probably spending a lot of time at the border,” Trump said. “He’s a good man. Done a good job.”...

President Trump’s pick to be the nation’s first-ever “border czar” is a longtime former cop and immigration official who takes a hard line on illegal crossings. Former acting ICE Director Thomas Homan told Secrets early in the Trump administration, for example, that he views every unauthorized border crossing as a crime that can and should be punished. "If you are in this country illegally, and you committed a crime by entering this country, you should be uncomfortable, you should look over your shoulder, and you need to be worried," Homan told Secrets. "No population is off the table," he told...

(CBP photo by James Tourtellotte) U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Alan Bersin, who oversees both the Customs Service and the Border Patrol, says the United States needs to undertake a “paradigm shift” in how it views the U.S.-Mexico border.This shift, Bersin explained in a speech last Thursday...

US border czar Alan Bersin warned Mexico's brutal drug cartels Tuesday that threats to target law enforcement officials on both sides of the border would be met by a "significant response." Bersin said a recent call by one cartel kingpin to ramp up violence against US and Mexican law enforcement agents was potentially of "grave significance" and was being "taken seriously" by the administration. "Should law enforcement, border patrol agents, customs officers or local and state law enforcement officers be targeted that would be considered a major departure from existing practice of the cartels, and a threat that called for...

Barack Obama’s Hope and Change motto got deployed originally in his run against Hillary Clinton for the Democratic Party presidential nomination as an argument against a return to the Clintonistas. It hasn’t turned out that way; not only did Obama hire Hillary herself as Secretary of State, but 42% of his appointments have come from Bill Clinton’s administration. It should not surprise anyone, then, that when Obama needed a “czar” for the southern border, he opted for Bill’s: Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano is naming a “border czar” to oversee issues related to drug-cartel violence along the U.S.-Mexico border and...
