Border czar Kamala Harris, whose administration oversaw a fiscal-year record high of 2.4 million border encounters in 2022, on Monday blamed the nation's migrant crisis on Republicans. "Sadly, what we have seen in particular, I am sad to say, from Republicans in Congress is an unwillingness to engage in any meaningful reform that could actually fix a lot of what we are witnessing," Harris, who has made one visit to the southern border despite handling the White House's border portfolio since March 2021, told NPR.

We’re not sure who he was complimenting, but Biden told someone that he could have been an All-American playing flankerback if he’d had him in front of him. VIDEO AT LINK.....................

More lies. Kamala Harris on Saturday was asked about the Minnesota Bail Fund she promoted after the George Floyd riots in 2020. Harris promoted the far-left organization that bailed murderers and rapists. At least two of the murderers that Kamala Harris helped bail out of prison went on to murder again.
