ABC News continued its tendency to ignore (or almost ignore) the controversy over Vice President Kamala Harris waiting for more than 90 days to visit the border after being handed the border "issue" by President Biden. On Friday night's newscast, David Muir offered just 13 seconds to the story. It's 43 boring words. Blink, and you might miss it. The word "illegal" is nowhere to be found. The PBS NewsHour disposed of the matter in 58 seconds in its "news wrap." Anchor Judy Woodruff reported "Vice President Harris visited the U.S. Southern border today for the first time since taking...

Vice President Kamala Harris finally made her way down to a U.S. border town on Friday, deciding to visit El Paso, Texas for a couple of hours before making her way to Los Angeles, California. While El Paso, and its Congressional district, are heavily Democratic, it appears mostly supporters of former President Donald Trump showed up to "greet" Harris when she arrived at the El Paso Border Patrol Station. Photos and videos of the gathering showed Trump supporters, most of whom were Latino, carrying Trump flags and anti-Harris signs."Kamala, You Know Trump Won," one sign stated.

Illegal border crossings are at a 21 year high. But Democrat Rep. Escobar just called the southern border our “new Ellis Island.” Except Ellis Island was an organized and legal process where sick or criminal migrants were sent back home. Rep.

Veronica Escobar (D-Texas), an ally of President Biden who represents El Paso and was part of Harris’ trip delegation.

Vice President and “border czar” finally traveled to the US border today to address the historic Biden border crisis. Border apprehensions are up eight-fold year-over-year under Biden. On Friday Kamala had the gall to blame Trump for the child separation policy — and conveniently forgot to mention Obama built the cages used to hold kids illegally crossing into the US. Kamala Harris: It is here in El Paso that the prior administration’s child separation policy was unveiled. And so we’ve seen the disastrous effects of that right here in this region. What a disgrace. Joe Biden and Kamala are detaining...

As she arrived in El Paso, she was asked by Fox News' Peter Doocy why right now was the time to make her first trip to the border. "It’s not my first trip, I’ve been to the border many times," she snapped back, apparently referring to visits she made to the border as senator. She claimed the visit builds on the work done in Guatemala
