Americans are not happy that more than 6,000 people per day are entering our country illegally thanks to President Biden’s determination to destroy his predecessor’s legacy.
They are especially displeased that thousands of undocumented people – many apparently sick with COVID-19 – are being shipped into towns and cities across the country, with no federal support to care for them.
And, yes, they are angry that more than 20,000 unaccompanied children are being housed in terrible conditions, all because Biden couldn’t resist undoing President Trump’s successful efforts to staunch the flow of migrants into our country.
It almost seems as though Biden’s team was purposefully playing a dirty trick on Harris. Was she just a tad too pushy? A little too assertive? Did Biden’s repeated invocation of “President Harris” go to her head?
Saddling her with the border fiasco not only put her at risk politically (and especially in a toss-up border state like Arizona) but added insult to injury, since her boss denied her the job she reportedly wanted: overseeing the monster $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan. After all, she apparently argued, managing the $800 billion stimulus plan is what then-Vice President Biden did in 2009 for President Obama. Why didn’t she get to star in the Greatest Democratic Giveaway of all time?
Imagine the glory of handing out $123 billion to K-12 schools (aka the teacher unions), no strings attached, or sending tens of millions of dollars to “environmental justice grants,” which will surely be guided by wildly discretionary assessments, or $362 billion to fiscally parched cities and states, all of which will come knocking on the administrator’s door?
Imagine being on the giving end of $1,400 checks going to 85 percent of all Americans, employed or unemployed.
That, ladies and gentlemen, is a dream job.
By contrast, overseeing the chaos at the border is no fun at all. Mainly because the Biden team has no clue what to do.
Still,
Harris could have taken up the job seriously, assuming responsibility for a problem extremely important to the White House. President Biden’s polls are just okay, not the rave reviews he so clearly craves, and the biggest negative ratings come from how he is handling the border. Harris could have helped with that.
How? First, by appearing even the slightest bit interested...
Not only has she not appeared in Texas or Arizona border towns, she dismissed the very notion of making that trek with a signature guffaw, as though the reporter asking her if she planned to visit was surely joking.
He was not.
