Kamala Harris has decided it’s time to reinvent herself as an enforcement-minded immigration moderate, as if the title of Border Czar didn’t come with enough irony. After presiding over an astounding 10 million illegal crossings since 2021 – including a staggering two million folks who vanished after crossing – she now claims to care about border security. But her record paints a different picture that could keep even the most optimistic voter chuckling with disbelief.
While Harris has graced the border with her presence merely once for what was no more than a fear-free photo opportunity, she has shunned actual engagement with Border Patrol chiefs. Evidence suggests she hasn’t bothered to understand the realities of their challenges. Instead of stepping up to support law enforcement, her antics consist of launching smear campaigns against enforcement officers while ignoring the plight of countless victims of illegal immigrant crime. The irony is rich for a former prosecutor who now advocates for policies that would make even the most lenient judge shudder.
Meanwhile, Kamala's Disastrous Immigration Policies Continue to Wreak Havoc Across the Country https://t.co/EqeW85DScL

Before being dubbed the failed Border Czar, Harris was no stranger to rhetoric that undercut lawful immigration processes. She insisted on the use of the term ‘undocumented’ instead of the legally accurate ‘illegal alien,’ and openly supported decriminalizing illegal crossings. Additionally, she endorsed taxpayer-funded healthcare for those entering the country unlawfully. Such stances have been further solidified by her partner in crime, who not only embraces sanctuary city policies but has also showered illegal immigrants with drivers’ licenses and in-state tuition.
The consequences of this open-door policy can be seen all too clearly. Recent reports reveal that illegal immigrant offenders, like a Bolivian man with a history of child sexual assault and subsequent child porn charges, continue to roam free in sanctuary jurisdictions, thanks to local officials turning a blind eye to ICE detainer requests. The story of this convicted predator highlights a pattern of dangerous individuals being protected by misguided policy, all while Harris plays patty-cake with the liberal base.
As the country witnesses more violent acts committed by illegal immigrants, the Harris-supported policies seem almost tailor-made to facilitate crime sprees across state lines. Incidents like the armed robbery of a jewelry store by gang-affiliated Venezuelan migrants demonstrate just how far-reaching the impacts of these leniencies can become. With Democratic-led jurisdictions perpetuating this cycle of catch-and-release, the Biden-Harris administration promotes an environment where criminality can flourish under the guise of compassion.
Public safety has evidently taken a backseat in this administration, with shocking accounts of crimes committed by illegal aliens making their way into the news cycle with alarming frequency. Despite the chaos, the Border Czar continues her Joy Tour, deflecting attention from the out-of-control border crisis. In the meantime, those serious about election integrity will keep a close eye on non-citizens slipping onto voter rolls, ensuring that the consequences of these sanctuary policies are laid bare for all to see.
