Kamala Harris makes a desperate move on a critical issue to save a sinking campaign

Yes, America, Kamala Harris thinks you are stupid.

The Democrat nominee’s run is fizzling similar a week-old enactment balloon; hopeless to regain momentum, she is trying to defuse 1 of her astir susceptible positions -- immigration. The latest Quinnipiac canvass of 1,728 apt voters shows Harris dormant adjacent with Trump; successful August the aforesaid canvass showed her starring by 2 points. Nate Silver reports that Harris’ chances of winning are dropping and the Real Clear Politics mean of polls shows Harris’ pb declining slightly. That tiny slippage comes contempt monolithic spending by Democrats, and particularly successful plaything states, wherever Trump connected mean leads Harris by the slimmest of margins. 

The Harris squad sees their "joy" campaign losing steam and has decided with large trepidation that the campaigner indispensable beryllium much accountable connected issues important to voters. Immigration is 1 of those apical concerns connected which she is presently being clobbered by Trump. According to CNN, 49% of voters spot the erstwhile president connected migration compared to 35% trusting Harris. The unfastened borderline whitethorn beryllium cardinal to winning toss-up states similar Arizona and besides to winning implicit Black men, particularly those who are acrophobic astir the interaction of lawless migration connected the jobs market. 

VP HARRIS OUTLINES ‘ORDERLY AND SECURE’ IMMIGRATION PLAN, RIPS TRUMP IN FIRST BORDER STOP SINCE NOMINATION

That’s the lone imaginable mentation for wherefore she would humiliate herself by visiting our confederate borderline -- the archetypal Biden-Harris transgression scene. From the earliest days of this administration, critics were aghast astatine the abrupt spike successful the fig of radical coming crossed the borderline illegally. The surge was not surprising; aft all, Biden took 89 enforcement actions successful his archetypal 100 days successful bureau to undo the safeguards erected by Donald Trump and unfastened the floodgates. But galore were shocked astatine the White House’s indifference to what was called a "crisis" adjacent arsenic it built to horrifying and politically damaging levels. 

It takes unimaginable chutzpah, 30 days retired from the election, to effort to person voters that Harris has been acrophobic astir the borderline each along, and that Donald Trump is really to blasted for the flood of amerciable entrants successful the past 3 years.  To that end, Harris engaged successful a meaningless photograph op showing the vice president striding resolutely adjacent to a partition that she had antecedently described arsenic a "gross misuse of payer money" and vowed to "block immoderate backing for" during Trump’s presidency.   

Harris seemed to judge that taking 20 minutes – 20 minutes!!! – retired of her frantic campaigning would alteration however millions of Americans viewed her nonaccomplishment to unafraid our border. She was hoping to beryllium excused for allowing much than 10 cardinal radical to illegally participate our country, and forgiven by the families of those killed by migrants oregon by fentanyl.

She took this politically risky leap connected the heels of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reporting that 425,431 convicted criminals, including 62,231 convicted of assault, 2,521 kidnappers, 14,301 convicted of burglary, and 13,099 convicted of execution – each of whom crossed our borderline illegally -- are astatine ample successful our country.  

Are these the folks that pro-immigration groups, led by United We Dream and Amnesty International USA recently claimed successful a missive to Joe Biden, "make our state amended by each measure"? This is an outrage and confirms the strategy is broken – acknowledgment to Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and Alejandro Mayorkas, who should person been impeached oregon made to resign for nonaccomplishment to bash his job. 

Most pathetic, Harris continues to hope that those who blasted her for ignoring her work volition determine that it was each Donald Trump’s fault. If lone helium hadn’t sabotaged the bipartisan legislature measure designed to unafraid our border, she seems to say, Laken Riley, Rachel Morin and Jocelyn Nengaray would inactive beryllium alive, arsenic would the hundreds of thousands who have died from fentanyl overdoses. 

She lies. The measure that she touts arsenic having had bipartisan backing was ripped by astir Republicans due to the fact that it gave the White House excessively overmuch discretion successful enforcing our asylum laws and near unfastened loopholes flagrantly abused by cartels. It is besides existent that a fig of Democrats voted against the bill, including members of the Progressive Caucus. Finally, the measure showed up conscionable this twelvemonth aft millions of migrants had already trampled our border.  As the Border Patrol Union posted connected X: "Vice president Harris has ignored the borderline occupation she created for implicit 3 years. She goes down determination for 20 minutes for a photograph op… wherever has she been the past 3 1/2 years?" 

Recall that Joe Biden actually introduced an migration "reform" measure the time helium took office. Originally called the U.S. Citizenship Act, the measure was a sop to progressives and was not astir securing the border. Instead, it was, arsenic the sanction suggested, each astir providing a pathway to citizenship for radical successful the U.S. illegally. That – and not protecting our borderline – has been the precedence for the Biden-Harris White House. The authorities was specified a non-starter that Democrats successful complaint of Congress ne'er took it up.
