Yes, America, Kamala Harris thinks you're stupid.
The Democratic candidate's campaign is moving forward like a week-old party balloon. Desperate to regain momentum, she seeks to defeat one of her most vulnerable groups: immigrants. The latest Quinnipiac poll of 1,728 likely voters shows that even with President Trump, Harris is dead. The same poll in August had her leading by 2 points. Nate Silver reports that Harris' chances of victory are decreasing, with the Real Clear Politics polling average showing her lead slipping slightly. This slight discrepancy comes despite the huge spending by Democrats, and even though Mr. Trump still leads Ms. Harris by a narrow margin on average, especially in battleground states.
Harris' team saw their Joy campaign losing momentum and decided with great trepidation that candidates needed to be more accountable on issues that mattered to voters. Immigration is one of her biggest concerns right now being pursued by President Trump. According to CNN, 49% of voters trust the former president on immigration, compared to 35% for Harris. Open borders could be key to winning battleground states like Arizona and attracting black men, especially black men concerned about the impact of illegal immigration on the job market.
Vice President Harris outlines 'orderly and safe' immigration plan, defeating President Trump on first border crossing since nomination
That is the only explanation why she would embarrass herself by visiting our southern border, the scene of Biden-Harris' first crime. From the early days of this administration, critics have been alarmed by the sudden spike in the number of people crossing the border illegally. This surge was not surprising. After all, Biden took 89 executive actions in his first 100 days in office to lift the safeguards put in place by Donald Trump and open the floodgates. But many were shocked by the White House's indifference to what was being called a “crisis,” even though it had reached horrifying and politically toxic levels.
With 30 days until the election, Harris needs to convince voters that she has always been concerned about the border and that Donald Trump is actually to blame for the influx of illegal immigrants over the past three years. It requires an unimaginably exaggerated amount of work. To that end, Harris posed for a meaningless photo of the vice president striding resolutely next to a wall, which Harris previously described as a “gross abuse of the taxpayers,” calling the end of Trump's term as president. China has vowed to “block any funding.''
Harris apparently believed it would take 20, 20 minutes. Her enthusiastic campaign will help millions of Americans change their view that she has failed to protect our borders. She allowed more than 10 million people to enter the country illegally and hoped to receive forgiveness from immigrants and the families of those killed by fentanyl.

She said Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has 62,231 people convicted of assault, 2,521 kidnappers, 14,301 people convicted of robbery, and 14,301 people convicted of murder. This politically risky decision comes after 425,431 criminals were convicted, including 13,099 people who reported crossing the border illegally. –It's running rampant in our country.
Are these the kind of people that pro-immigration groups led by United We Dream and Amnesty International USA recently claimed in a letter to Joe Biden will “make our country better in every way”? This is an outrageous act, and thanks to Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Alejandro Mayorkas, who should have been impeached or forced to resign for dereliction of duty, we can confirm that the system is broken.
Most pathetically, Ms. Harris continues to hope that those who accuse her of neglecting her duties will decide that it is all Donald Trump's fault. If he hadn't blocked the bipartisan Senate bill to secure the border, Laken Riley, Rachel Morin, and Jocelyn Nengarai would still be alive, and so would the hundreds of thousands of others who died of fentanyl overdoses. she seems to be saying.
she lies The bill, which she touted as having bipartisan support, was killed by most Republicans. That's because the bill gave the White House too much discretion in enforcing refugee laws and left open loopholes that were blatantly exploited by cartels. It is also true that many Democrats, including members of the Progressive Caucus, voted against the bill. Finally, this bill comes after millions of immigrants have already trampled the border just this year. As the Border Patrol Union posted on Where have you been for the past year and a half?”
Remember, Joe Biden actually introduced an immigration “reform” bill on his first day in office. The bill, originally called the “American Citizenship Act,” was a rebuke to progressives, not about securing our borders. Instead, as the name suggests, it was all about providing a path to citizenship for those in the United States illegally. That, and not securing the border, was a priority for the Biden-Harris White House. The bill was so rudimentary that Democrats in charge of Congress never took it up.

A senior official at the National Border Patrol Council said in a statement to Fox News that Harris' last-minute border visit was a “slap in the face to the American people.”
I agree. And so do millions of Americans.
