After Kamala Claims She Made Big Progress at the Border, Official Border Union Claims She Lied

Vice President Kamala Harris continues to insist that she’s played a key role in addressing the border crisis, but the facts tell a different story. From her initial appointment as the administration’s “border czar,” Harris has consistently claimed she’s been working tirelessly on solutions.

Yet, nearly three years into her tenure, there’s no real evidence to back her claims. Border crossings have reached record highs, and illegal immigration remains out of control. Harris’s promises ring hollow and her so-called solutions appear nonexistent.

Despite the border crisis growing more severe, Harris continues to sidestep responsibility. Her public appearances on the issue are few and far between, and when she does speak, it’s usually filled with vague platitudes and empty reassurances. The Vice President has repeatedly pointed to “root causes” as her main focus, but no one can see what impact—if any—she’s made.

The numbers don’t lie, and the border is in worse shape than ever. But instead of owning up to her failures, Harris is doubling down, recently claiming she’s made real progress. Unfortunately, it seems like she’s the only one who believes it.

From Breitbart:
The official union of the U.S. Border Patrol fact-checked Vice President Kamala Harris after her visit to the U.S.-Mexico border on Friday, saying “She was nowhere to be found when we needed her.”…

“This couldn’t be further from the truth. As with all things border related she was nowhere to be found when we needed her,” the union added.

Border Patrol Fact-Checks Harris

In her latest attempt to address the issue, Harris visited Douglas, Arizona, where she claimed credit for helping increase overtime pay for Border Patrol agents. But the official union of the U.S. Border Patrol quickly set the record straight.

The National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) fact-checked Harris on social media, bluntly stating that her claim “couldn’t be further from the truth.” According to the NBPC, Harris has been “nowhere to be found” when they needed her most. Instead of being an advocate for the agents, she’s been missing in action.

In an interview with Fox News, NBPC Vice President Art Del Cueto highlighted Harris’s lack of involvement. Her visit to the border town of Douglas was little more than a brief “photo op,” where she spoke with only two members of Border Patrol management and avoided speaking with any actual agents.

It was a 20-minute stop that did nothing to address the real issues. In contrast, Del Cueto noted that former President Donald Trump has consistently shown his support by meeting with agents on the ground and tackling the crisis head-on.

Blaming Trump, Again

Instead of offering real solutions during her speech, Harris once again tried to shift the blame onto Trump. She accused the former president of “tanking” a bipartisan border bill that she claimed would have solved the problem. According to Harris, the bill was the “strongest border security measure in decades,” and it had the full support of the Border Patrol union.

But, as usual, Harris’s narrative doesn’t align with reality. Trump’s efforts to secure the border were praised by many, including Border Patrol, who appreciated his willingness to enforce the law and invest in necessary resources.

The NBPC was quick to call out Harris’s hypocrisy, pointing out that she’s only now realizing the need for more resources after four years of skyrocketing border apprehensions. “We’ve apprehended over 8 million illegal immigrants over the last four years, and now you realize we need more help?” the union tweeted.

It’s clear that her sudden focus on the issue is nothing more than a political move ahead of the upcoming election, rather than a genuine commitment to fixing the crisis.

Trump’s Response

It didn’t take long for Donald Trump to respond to Harris’s comments. The former president posted the Border Patrol union’s response on his Truth Social page, further highlighting Harris’s failures at the border.

Trump’s direct involvement in border security, from building portions of the wall to enforcing immigration laws, stands in stark contrast to Harris’s inaction. While Harris tries to deflect and blame others, Trump’s commitment to securing the border remains clear.

Conclusion: Harris Has Failed, Trump Delivers

Kamala Harris’s handling of the border crisis has been a complete failure, and her attempts to shift blame onto Trump are simply a distraction. The facts are clear: under Harris’s watch, the border has become more chaotic, and illegal immigration has surged.

Her recent visit to Douglas was little more than political theater, and the Border Patrol has made it clear that she’s been absent when they needed real support.

Meanwhile, Trump’s track record on the border speaks for itself. He consistently backed Border Patrol agents and prioritized border security. Harris can continue her empty speeches, but the American people know who actually delivers results.

Key Takeaways:

  • Harris falsely claimed credit for helping Border Patrol, but the union quickly refuted her.
  • Her recent border visit was a brief photo op, with no real engagement or solutions.
  • Trump continues to show genuine support for border agents and effective immigration policies.
