Kamala Harris was not appointed as the "border czar"

[NatMorton]

I said what I said.

Yes, you did, and what I say is that what you said is ridiculous.

Feel free to try and prove me wrong about that.

 

[soap box]

You have no idea what you're talking about. The Constitution gives the Executive branch the authority to defend our borders.

Why don't you just acknowledge what is painfully obvious? Harris made absolutely no progress stemming the flow of illegal immigration across our southern border and was part of an administration that made the problem much, much worse.

Ok Kamala didn't fix the border, and trump refused to try. I'm still with Harris.

Still funny that you think this will stick. You'll have to make Americans sit still long enough to explain it without telling the truth about Trump and his rejection of the Lankford bill for the sake of his campaign instead of working toward a solution. Try this complicated explanation, it will sound like the pitiful cry in the wind that it really is. Trump is toast.

Apparently the “boarder” bill is irrelevant to discussing the state of the border.

 

[Hypothetical]

Going to the border, while a nice photo op, really isn't necessary for the task of getting Guatamalans to stay in Guatamala.

Of which stated task, she did nothing.

 

[Plasmaball]

They announced her taking over from Jackson in April 2021.

Harris did little to nothing and was ultimately a failure and was removed with considerably less fanfare than when she was announced.

Essentially the explanation behind the Democrats revisionist history is tat the border wasn't Kamala's responsibility because se was quietly taken off the duty years ago.

Biden ended Trump's Remain-in-Mexico policy then sent Kamala down, after the disaster started to unfold to Tell Guatemalan residents to "don't come" ... and then later Biden was forced to reinstate the policy... but it was too late, and Biden leadership was too incompetent.

The one policy that the Biden administration can connect Kamala too also happens to be one of the biggest failures of the Biden administration.

Trying to distance Kamala from the border says a lot. Had she been competent and successful they'd be lauding her work at the border... instead they want to memory hole it.

He ended it becsuse covid was over

Personally when I think of border security I think of the Congress that writes the laws and not the vice President of the executive in terms of real responsibility.

 

[jmotivator]

Biden ended it on his first day in office... pretty sure COVID was still a thing back then. He then reinstated it later that year and ended it again in 2022.

I think you'll find Trump's record on border crossings is far better than Biden's. In fact, it was the very data the proves this that kept Trump alive during the assassination attempt.

He was turning to face this chart on the screen behind him, and as a result the bullet clipped his ear rather than going through the back of his head:



... now there's almost certainly some puffery in Trump's chart, but any objective analysis of border crossings over the last 8 years shows that things were more under control during the Trump administration than Biden's. It got worse every year under Biden:

I don't care. Immigration is at the bottom of my list. MAGA can have the issue by lying about trump stopping the Lankford bill. Outside of MAGA we are saying we want a viable alternative to trump. I'm with Harris.

Do you think Americans are going to sit still long enough to read your chart?

You didn't say that. You just asked me a question.

Whats going on here is called the literally game. Biden didn't literally call her the border czar.
But she was put in charge of it to a degree.

 

[soap box]

And I don't care that you don't care. We're discussing Harris's record on immigration. If you don't care about it, why are you here?

Because this won't stick as a issue with voters. Don't you have something against Harris that would actually resonate outside of his base? Is this all you got on her? Is anybody listening outside his base? Try and convince her supporters to vote for someone else.

During the moratorium on MPP, current COVID-19 nonessential travel restrictions — both at the border and in the region — remain in place. But it is unclear what will happen to migrants already enrolled in MPP.

 

[Bucky]

I keep seeing this claim that Harris failed in her duties as Biden's border czar. There's a perspective that she was given the job of fixing the border problem and she failed at it. I assume those who think this is true might want to know that it's actually not true.

Harris was never put in charge of the border or made "border czar," immigration experts said. President Joe Biden tasked Harris with leading the administration's diplomatic efforts addressing the "root causes" of migration in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.

Harris' border work was on 'root causes' of migration; she wasn't in charge | Fact check

The post mischaracterizes Harris' work on migration. She was tasked with leading efforts addressing the "root causes" of migration in Central America.

www.usatoday.com

Harris was not asked to be the administration's "border czar" or to oversee immigration policy and enforcement at the U.S.-Mexico border. That has mainly been the responsibility of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and his department, which oversees the country's main three immigration agencies, including Customs and Border Protection.

The facts about Kamala Harris' role on immigration in the Biden administration

In her immigration role, Vice President Kamala Harris has mainly focused on convincing companies to invest in Central America and promoting democracy and development.

www.cbsnews.com

But Ms. Harris was not, in fact, appointed border czar, nor was she tasked with addressing the broader problems plaguing the border itself

Why Republicans Keep Calling Kamala Harris the ‘Border Czar’

The misleading phrase is meant to underscore one of the thorniest issues in her portfolio: immigration.

www.nytimes.com

Now that we've established the truth of the matter, we can positively identify a few elected officials who have lied to you about it:

Sen. Rick Scott Calls “Border Czar” VP Harris to Fulfill Constitutional Duty & Preside Over Mayorkas Impeachment

Stefanik Introduces Resolution Condemning Border Czar Kamala Harris’ Role in the Open Border Crisis

stefanik.house.gov

Rep. Jackson Introduces Legislation to Hold Border Czar Kamala Harris, Biden Administration Accountable for Border Crisis Failures

jackson.house.gov

And the next time you see Trump or anyone else repeating the claim, you'll know that they're lying to you. Vote accordingly.

Hope that helps!

Whose mind do you think you are changing? Do you really feel you are that important?

 

[CaughtInThe]

The far right has no integrity so they're gonna just lie and lie and lie.

Praise Jesus.

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

I have no idea why Crooked donny trump torpedoed the Biden Border Bill. They should have voted on it.

No, it's a weakness for Harris, and you're desperate for it not to be.

You can try to cast immigration as a fringe issue, but it's simply not going to fly as the data says otherwise. Gallup has consistently found immigration to be the single most important non-economic issue with registered voters:

[NuffSaid]

Did Biden assign her the task of stemming migration at our southern border?

Nope, root causes of the migration in specific countries.
Nothing, zero, zilch to do with, as you claim "stemming migration at the southern border".

Supervisor to worker - "I need you to hi-lite values greater than 6 in this excel worksheet, from rows 3 through 8

In the 2 months following lifting the Remain-in-Mexico policy the border crossings increased by 29% then 71% .... it's amazing how many essential illegal border crossers there suddenly were!

78,000 in January, 101,000 in February, 178,000 in March.... Border crossings have not been bellow 100,000 in a month for the entirely of Biden's tenure. I can see why you need to disconnect Kamala from it.

 

[NuffSaid]

I do not know who i am voting for yet. But i do like to disseminate truth as I see it.

Boloney, you were always going to vote for Trump.

 

[uptower]

And rather odd at the time the task was described not merely as finding root causes, but, in Biden's own words, ""stemming the migration to our southern border."

Biden tasks Harris with 'stemming the migration' on southern border

The vice president is expected to focus on both curbing the current flow of migrants and coordinating with countries in the region to address the root causes of migration.

www.nbcnews.com

You might want to guard against the Harris campaign CYA spin on this one.

I read that as steaming migration by addressing the root causes, not actually by dealing with anything at the border.

It won’t matter. People won’t look into it that deeply. The Press will lump her in with border security anyway because that’s how it’s been sold. Disingenuous as it is, it will be a weakness for her in the campaign.

Then immigration should be an issue of strength for Kamala this fall. Best of luck with that.

 

[Callen]

Clearly she did little to nothing in that roll.

You can' possibly know what is not reported by your preferred media sources...doesn't mean she did nothing.
