Kamala Harris snaps AGAIN when asked if she will visit the border

So the disaster known as VPee Kamala Harris has once again snapped this time at a Univision reporter for asking her when she will visit the U.S.-Mexico border. Losing her composure once again when asked why as ‘border czar’ she hadn’t been to the site. Harris spoke to Colombian journalist Ilia Calderon, an anchor with the Miami-based network, the day after her return from Mexico and Guatemala, where she spoke to presidents of both countries about ways to curtail soaring arrivals at the border.

Migrant numbers are on track this year to reach highs not seen since 2006. ‘I’ve said I’m going to the border,’ said Harris, visibly irritated. ‘And I – ‘ Calderon, speaking via video link, interrupted and asked: ‘When are you going?’

Harris continued saying: ‘The administration has asked…’ She paused, hearing Calderon’s question, and replied curtly: ‘I’ve not finished. ‘I’ve said I’m going to the border. And also, if we are going to deal with the problems at the border, we have to deal with the problems that cause people to go to the border to flee to the border.

‘And that is the root causes. In other words “root causes” is an excuse for doing nothing while it gets worse, and she takes trips around the world, and makes us an even bigger joke. This woman is a predictable moron, and who’s a slip and fall by Biden to becoming the President of this country. One who got zero votes from the people, and who was so bad during the DNC she polled lower than even Andrew Yang!

Listen to her idiotic statement yet? Well look at what else she said before you watch the clips below… ‘So my first trip, as vice president of the United States, was to go in terms of a foreign trip to Guatemala. ‘To be on the ground there. To address, and to be informed of, the root causes – why are the people of Guatemala leaving.’ This won’t help the HERE AND NOW Crisis she, and Biden have created at our border. This is her way of continuing to put off dealing with the issue. She has done NOTHING positive since being chosen as V.Pee. Hell she’s a complete joke folks.

Calderon asked: ‘Do you have a date for your trip to the border, to see the situation with your own eyes?’ Harris replied: ‘I will keep you posted.’ Her rebuke of Calderon, with a terse ‘I’ve not finished’, bore echoes of her dismissal of Mike Pence, when he attempted to interrupt her during their vice presidential debate last October. 

‘I’m speaking,’ she reprimanded him, with a smile, before continuing her point. The moment became a meme, and ‘I’m speaking’ was printed on t-shirts worn by Biden/Harris supporters all 15 of those morons… This time round, the put down was less celebrated the VPee spent the two-day trip dogged by questions about when she would visit the border to her evident annoyance. 

She was exasperated by NBC anchor Lester Holt when he asked her about visiting the border.  ‘At some point, you know, we are going to the border,’ she said. ‘We’ve been to the border. So this whole thing about the border. We’ve been to the border. We’ve been to the border.’ He replied: ‘You haven’t been to the border.’ ‘And I haven’t been to Europe,’ Harris snapped, then quickly turned laughed. ‘And I mean, I don’t understand the point that you’re making. I’m not discounting the importance of the border.’ On March 24, President Joe Biden announced: ‘I’ve asked her, the VP, today because she’s the most qualified person to do it to lead our efforts with Mexico and the Northern Triangle and the countries that are going to need help in stemming the movement of so many folks, stemming the migration to our southern border.’

This is what is a result of not having a strong border…

Harris has insisted since then but especially this week – that her focus is on the root causes of migration, rather than dealing with the crisis at the border. CNN reported that officials were concerned within the administration that whatever progress Harris had made on the leader-to-leader level might have been undermined by her conflicting answers and PR missteps. ‘It’s left some of the administration officials perplexed, and the vice president’s team frustrated,’ the network reported on Wednesday. 

‘There was hope the trip would be a success, and in the end, they feel it may have been overshadowed by some of her answers to these questions.’ Border crossings have exploded 674 per cent in May 2021 compared to May 2020. Authorities recorded 180,034 migrants crossing into the U.S. last month. That represented a slight increase over the approximately 178,000 migrants encountered in April, and the 172,000 encountered in March. In February, roughly 100,000 migrants illegally crossed the U.S.-Mexico border into the United States.  

Single adults still represented the majority of border-crossers, data from the U.S. Border Patrol showed. In May there was a decrease in the number of unaccompanied minors, from roughly 16,910 to 13,906, Border Patrol found.  CBP also said that a majority of those who crossed the border were already expelled due to Title 42, which allows the U.S. government to quickly remove people using the COVID-19 pandemic. Of the 180,034 crossers, 112,302 had already been expelled. 

CBP also pointed out, according to Fox News, that Title 42 is leading people to try to cross the border more than once, which could also factor into the high numbers. Axios reported Tuesday that preliminary CBP data from the fiscal year 2021 showed that illegal crossings have been the most since 2006 – with four months still to go. Additionally on Tuesday the Department of Health and Human Services reported that 16,200 children were still in custody, which is 50 per cent higher than the levels in March. HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra appeared before the Ways and Means Committee to face questions on the border crisis. Biden has promised to reunite families separated during the Trump administration and to expedite processing unaccompanied minors who arrived at the border in the last few months.

However, a new report from Biden’s task force on reuniting families indicates that 2,127 children have ‘not yet been reunified’ with their parents. The poor showing in progress at the border comes on the heels of Harris’ trip to Guatemala and Mexico where she faced backlash for laughing her way through serious topics and handing out cookies on the Air Force Two flight with her face-less likeness printed on them.

The task force progress report submitted to the president last week shows only seven children have successfully been reunited since Biden took office. In a 22-page task force progress report, which was released Tuesday during Harris’ trip, was submitted to Biden last week and shows that 2,127 children are still awaiting their reunions. It also states, however, that 29 more families ‘will be reunited in the coming weeks.’ The provision will allow the families to enter the U.S. under humanitarian parole, which lasts 36 months and can be renewed. The dismal showings in reunification is being blamed on the Trump administration’s failure to keep accurate and organized data on families and children when they were separated at the border. More lies by Biden only used to smear Trump!

Remember in the debate when Biden made a big deal about 500 kids who were separated from their parents? Which was a lie because those 500 kids came in ILLEGALLY With people who were NOT their parents. Which is something that was found out but now we have 2,127 children under Biden separated from their parents or the people who they were with? So much for all that talk during the debate on “what this man is doing” when talking about Trump. What Trump was doing was working, and was done well. What BIDEN/Harris is doing is destroying the country, and destroying the border for the worse.

Pentagon signs off on Trump request to use $3.6 billion for border construction

You see folks the “WALL” is going to be build, and once again President TRUMP is “WINNING” and this has the DemocRATS going crazy! They want open borders, and not a “WALL” these people want drugs, gangs, and massive illegals to cross. They want the end of our countries laws. But why would people want to come here when these same LAWS they want here didn’t work in their countries? Why not like Trump said go back to your country, and fix your mess, and leave us the hell alone! Ok so I added the “Leave us the hell alone!” part but you get what I’m saying folks? Here is a report from Washington, and a video which starts off with them talking about the storm, and I cut it into when it goes into the money for the wall. Notice when the man says that “NANCY PELOSI” “is not informed.”

Yea no kidding! Nasty Nancy ain’t dealing with facts or a full deck these days.

Washington — The Pentagon on Tuesday formally authorized the transfer of billions of dollars in military funding for the construction of barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border, fulfilling a request by President Trump as he rushes to deliver on his signature campaign promise of building a wall to deter illegal immigration. Responding to the White House’s demand, Secretary of Defense Mike Esper approved the reprogramming of $3.6 billion in military construction funds to be used to build approximately 175 miles of border barriers. Half of the money will be diverted from overseas construction projects by Pentagon, while the other half will be transferred from domestic projects.

About 127 current Department of Defense projects are expected to be affected by the move and the Pentagon is slated to brief lawmakers about the extent of the anticipated delays caused by the transfer, defense officials told CBS News. The American Civil Liberties Union said Tuesday the group would be seeking a court order to block the use of the funds. With a little over a year left until the 2020 presidential election, Mr. Trump has been urging officials to ramp up efforts to build new barriers or replace dilapidated ones in both public and private lands near the southern border as quickly as possible. Along with other promises to crackdown on illegal immigration, Mr. Trump’s vow to erect a wall along the border with Mexico proved to be a galvanizing message for his ardent supporters during the 2016 campaign, and he’s hoping construction will energize his base for his reelection.

After a two-month-long impasse with congressional Democrats that led to the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, Mr. Trump declared a national emergency over immigration in February and vowed to take unilateral action to secure funding for his long-promised border wall. Along with taking funds from other government accounts, the administration said it would tap into billions of funds allocated for the military. The decision garnered widespread criticism from Democrats and prompted several groups to mount legal challenges against the first $2.5 billion transfer. A federal judge initially blocked this reprogramming but earlier in the summer, the Supreme Court in a 5-4 ruling allowed the administration to use these military funds while litigation over their transfer moves forward.

Democrats in Congress were quick to condemn Tuesday’s announcement. Senators Dick Durbin of Illinois, Patrick Leahy of Vermont and Brian Schatz of Hawaii accused the president of politicizing resources for U.S. service members to build his “vanity wall.” “The President is robbing the men and women of our armed services of funds meant for critical construction projects that are necessary to serve our troops, support our allies, deter our adversaries, and care for our military families — all to build a wall that will do nothing to solve the humanitarian crisis at our Southwest border or protect the American people,” the senators wrote.

The Trump administration had already pledged to transfer funds from different government accounts not related to immigration for border enforcement. Last week it was revealed that officials had notified Congress that the Department of Homeland Security is planning to reprogram $271 million funds from several agencies — including the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Transportation Security Administration and U.S. Coast Guard — to expand space in detention centers for migrants and finance other immigration enforcement initiatives.
