the most qualified worse person...

kamalakamala

Arizona Governor Doug Ducey has derided the president's move to appoint Vice-President Kamala Harris as the leading administration official to oversee the crisis at the southern border as the “worst possible choice” Joe Biden could have made.

“At no point in her career has [Harris] given any indication that she considers the border a problem or a serious threat. If President Biden's intent was to show that he's taking this issue seriously […] he's really done the exact opposite,” Ducey, a Republican, asserted on Wednesday.

The remarks came shortly after Biden touted Harris as “the most qualified person” to lead his administration’s efforts to tackle a record surge in migrants, including unaccompanied minors, at the southern border.

"This new surge we’re dealing with now started with the last administration, but it’s our responsibility to deal with it humanely and to stop what’s happening. This increase has been consequential, but the vice-president’s agreed – among the multiple other things I have her leading and I appreciate it – agreed to lead our diplomatic effort and work with those nations to accept the returnees and enhance migration enforcement at their borders,” the US president stated.

The developments come after Harris was slammed for appearing to laugh when asked by a reporter if she was planning to visit the US-Mexico border amid the intensifying migrant crisis.

Neither Biden nor Harris have made a trip to the southern border since the crisis emerged. However, they have indicated they plan to visit at “some point”.

It is also a fact that Biden blew up each of those pillars, yet now claims he inherited a mess. Strangely, he also insisted that the numbers surging now “happens every single, solitary year. Nothing has changed.”

He’s either misinformed or lying. Record numbers of arrivals are being reported daily, and NBC recently called the crossings the highest in 20 years.

Again, Biden was not challenged.

The final proof that the press has abdicated its role was clinched when the president refused to say when he would allow more media access to the border detention facilities. He said it would have to wait until his team got its new programs working.

If Trump had said that, the sky would have fallen and democracy would be declared dead. But when Biden says it, the media rolls over.

So add transparency to the list of things that don’t matter anymore.

“BIENVENIDOS A MIAMI,” the woman in the black jacket mouthed bitterly. Welcome to Miami. An official said this mockingly to her and her fellow passengers, she recalled — all Central American parents with young children — as the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement plane descended. They had departed from Brownsville, Texas, but they knew they weren’t in Miami, she said. Instead of a coastal city, they saw mountainous terrain.

Three hours later, huddled on a dirty, noisy street by a bridge, most still seemed disoriented. Some thought they were in the United States.

“What’s it called here?” a skinny man with a 4-year-old asked me.

“Ciudad Juárez,” I said. “The state of Chihuahua.” Mexico.

Around us, toddlers wailed, older children stared, and mothers quietly wept. The skinny man summed things up: They’d each been “engañado” by the U.S. government. “Deceived,” he said. His verb choice might have seemed strong, but it wasn’t just migrants who were misled. So were Americans just north of the border.

In February, just after Joe Biden took office, Border Patrol agents on the southwest border encountered about 19,000 people traveling in families with children. Of those, 41 percentwere immediately returned to Mexico, including to dangerous border cities. They were returned under Title 42, a health law activated in March 2020 by the Trump administration, nominally to help prevent the spread of Covid-19.

The unprecedented application of Title 42 against asylum-seekers was seen by many public health experts and human rights organizations as having nothing to do with public health and everything to do with anti-Latinx racism. Immigrant rights proponents hoped that Biden would immediately retire the policy. He didn’t.

Still, most people traveling in families were initially let in. They were held for a few days by Border Patrol and then often taken to church-affiliated shelters where they could call family members already in the U.S. From there, they went to bus stations and airports, especially in far South Texas cities like McAllen and Brownsville. They got tickets and started their trips into America.

Not surprisingly, word spread in Central America — which has been wracked by hurricanes, in addition to coping with poverty and violence — that parents with children could turn themselves in to officials at the U.S. border and have a decent chance of acceptance into the asylum process. More families started coming.

In March, the Biden administration started to backpedal. Border Patrol stations were too crowded with families, the government said. Shelters in South Texas were overwhelmed. On March 8, an overflow plan was announced: Beginning that day, families seeking asylum would be flown west to El Paso, where they would be taken in by Annunciation House, a venerable Catholic organization with multiple shelters that has long offered respite to refugees. The group issued a call for El Pasoans to volunteer at “A-House,” as the shelter network is affectionately known. The city felt proud that it could do its humanitarian bit for the people doing what they have a right to do under international law: seek asylum.

Meanwhile, the new head of the Department of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, repeatedly announced to would-be migrants that they should stay away. “The border is closed,” he said.

I got vaccinated and by late February was primed for a more normal life. For me, “normal” means once again visiting El Paso’s sister city in Mexico, Ciudad Juárez. On March 15, I walked south across the international bridge to take a stroll downtown. I went to haunts I hadn’t visited since before the pandemic: the sing-song outdoor fruit market, the cheese vendor who slices tasting samples, the plaza where two old men in zoot suits dance to a boom box blaring Pérez Prado. It was a glorious day until I walked back over the bridge. There I saw two Border Patrol agents herding dozens of young adults stumbling disconsolately toward Mexico, toddlers clunking from their chests.

Over the next few days, journalists started reporting that some families flying from Brownsville to El Paso were subsequently being expelled. But, they said, Annunciation House had also received families from the airplanes. On March 16, I went to a remote part of the airport and peered through holes in a burlap-covered fence to watch a plane land. A Reuters photographer was there, and we saw mothers and tiny children disembark before the cops shooed us away. The photographer then went to Juárez. Two hours later, he saw the same families.

Local and national press visited Juárez, but the media continued to report that a fraction of families — no one said how many — were still being processed into the United States.

 

On Sunday, I learned a plane was coming in from Brownsville at noon, so two hours later, I again walked south on the bridge. That’s when I saw the weeping people who’d been told they were landing in Miami.

A group of Mexican government workers usually comes to offer the families help. They provide information about shelters, though Mexican officials have told the press that capacity has been overwhelmed and a gymnasium is being refurbished to make more space.

The woman in the black jacket, as well as others who’d been on the plane, told me they feared Mexican shelters because they might be funnels for deportation back to Central America. The streets are dangerous, the government officials warned. She said she had no idea how to get off of the street. I asked them how many families were still being processed in El Paso. They said they had no idea.

“No one,” said some of the expelled people. We didn’t see anyone chosen to stay in El Paso. We all got sent over the bridge.

Back in El Paso, I asked around. I heard from an activist that when the flights first started coming from Brownsville, some passengers were immediately removed to Juárez, while some were released to Annunciation House. But lately, I was told, every single family was immediately being expelled.

I asked the Border Patrol to confirm this, and El Paso Sector Chief Gloria Chavez responded by email. “Our priority is to process them and expel them into Mexico under Title 42,” she wrote of the families being sent to El Paso from the South Texas Rio Grande Valley region. While the agency had been working with local officials and NGOs to house families in El Paso, she explained, as of a little over a week ago, “the government of Mexico has been able to receive all family units from RGV under Title 42. Therefore, limiting the amount of individuals released to Annunciation House.”

El Paso’s respite facilities have their beds, yet asylum-seekers are being sent back to Mexico. Across the bridge, meanwhile, the good people of El Paso — the local officials and volunteers ready to welcome the families — can do nothing to help.

funny... not funny...

US President Joe Biden appointed Harris to solve the migrant crisis on America's southern border with Mexico. Biden, who previously said he plans to visit the border "at some point", called Harris the "most qualified person" to deal with the issue. Republicans, however, doubt that is true.

US conservative commentator Katie Pavlich has harshly criticised US Vice President Kamala Harris for laughing when being asked serious questions by reporters. Speaking on Fox News, Pavlitch said the official looks out of touch when she starts cackling while discussing important matters.

"And just on a basic staffer level, has nobody sat down with the vice president and said, you have to stop laughing when you're asked serious questions. It makes you look incompetent. That's a basic thing that they should've fixed by now", Pavlich said.

The commentator's remark comes several days after Kamala Harris started laughing when she was asked by a reporter if she plans to visit the southern border with Mexico in the coming days.

Funny ?????!
REPORTER: "Do you have plans to visit the border?"

VP HARRIS: "Not today! HAHHAHAHA. But I've been before and I'm sure I will again." pic.twitter.com/yMPQ4cDttX

​The news caused a strong reaction on social media, with many netizens slamming Vice President Harris for what they described as the wrong attitude.

“The president has communicated quite clearly his decision that the emergency that triggered the devotion of DOD funds to the construction of the border wall is ended,” the DHS secretary reportedly told the group.

“But that leaves room to make decisions as the administration, as part of the administration, in particular areas of the wall that need renovation, particular projects that need to be finished.”

Mayorkas reportedly said some of that would include “gaps,” “gates” and areas “where the wall has been completed but the technology has not been implemented.”

as useless as a VP...

 

Kamala Harris has repeatedly been critisised for failing to visit the US southern border as President Joe Biden's point person to lead the White House's efforts to tackle the migration crisis.

A group of protesters in New Hampshire has urged Vice President Kamala Harris to grapple with migration-related issues as she visited the Granite State to promote the Biden administration's hefty infrastructure proposal.

On Friday, demonstrators in the town of Plymouth called on Harris to visit the US-Mexico border as President Joe Biden's point person to tackle the migration crisis.

The protesters brandished signs that read "Mexico —2,254 mi", "Hey Kamala/Stop the illegal invasion/Go visit Mexico", and "Impeach Biden-Harris".

The rally came as the New Hampshire Republican Party (NHGOP) tweeted that "as you [Kamala Harris] travel over 2,300 miles away from El Paso, our country would be better served with an official visit to our southern border, not a campaign trip for [Democratic Senator] Maggie Hassan".

FLOTUS Said Kamala Harris Can 'Go F**k Herself' After Her Debate With Biden, Book Claims...

 

Before the incumbent US vice president, Kamala Harris, endorsed Joe Biden for president, the two were rivals in the Democratic race for the presidential nomination, and debated against each other in June 2019.

Jill Biden, the first lady of the United States, purportedly spewed rude remarks toward US Vice President Kamala Harris at a time when the latter debated then-candidate Joe Biden in the Democratic primary, according to a new book, 'Battle for the Soul', by journalist Edward Isaac Dovere.

"With what he cares about, what he fights for, what he’s committed to, you get up there and call him a racist without basis?" Jill Biden allegedly said of Harris, speaking to campaign supporters after the debate. "Go f**k yourself."

The book claims Jill Biden said those words about Harris after the June 2019 debate, when the then-California-senator criticised candidate Joe Biden for his friendship with two Democratic senators who formerly supported segregation. At the time, Harris noted that she did not believe her fellow Democrat was a racist, but condemned him nevertheless.

"But I also believe, and it’s personal – it was hurtful to hear you talk about the reputations of two United States senators who built their reputations and career on the segregation of race in this country. And it was not only that, but you also worked with them to oppose busing. And, you know, there was a little girl in California who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools, and she was bused to school every day. And that little girl was me", Harris said. The lines later became viral and garnered support for Harris.

According to Dovere, Joe Biden then leaned over to Pete Buttigieg - now the US Transportation Secretary - and said: "That was some f***ing bullsh**".

Despite an abundance of allegedly rude commentary revolving around the debate, in reality, Dovere indicates, Biden and Harris have similar positions on many issues, including busing and the forced integration of schools. Harris was reportedly reluctant to "land hard on Biden" due to her close relationships with the Biden family.

don't come...

 

Both US President Joe Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris are making their first foreign trips in their new job this week. Biden is heading to the European continent, and Harris, who was given the task in March to lead the administration's efforts in battling migration from Northern Triangle countries, is finally going to Guatemala and Mexico. 

After holding "robust" talks with Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei on Monday, Kamala Harris delivered an unambiguous message to people thinking of making the dangerous journey to the United States: "Do not come".

The vice-president, who seeks to stem the flow of illegal migrants from Central America to the United States, made the remarks at a news conference with Giammattei.

Harris added that she had arrived to Guatemala to "seek significant, tangible, and real results rather than grand gestures".

Harris has said that her trip to Guatemala - her first foreign travel undertaken as a vice-president - reflects the fact that the Biden administration considers that region a "priority".

 

Harris said that Guatemala and the US were "interconnected and interdependent'' and it was in their "collective interest" to work together. 

Speaking from Guatemala City, Harris added that the trip also reflects President Joe Biden's priority of "reestablishing relationships" with global allies, as he is expected to make his way to the United Kingdom this week for G7 summit. Biden will then head to Brussels to meet with NATO and EU members. His first foreign jaunt as president is expected to culminate in talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Geneva. 

The trip marked the first time Harris had set her foot abroad in an official capacity, more than two months after she was told by Biden to "stem the migration" across the US southern border. The vice-president is eager to highlight that the job is primarily designed to help the Northern Triangle countries of Central America - meaning Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador - to tackle the "root causes" of an unprecedented wave of migrants flowing to the US through Mexico.

But she was widely criticised for appearing to be so lackadaisical over the issue - it took Harris more than 70 days to visit Guatemala after being assigned the task of sorting out immigration on 24 March. She also has yet to visit the US-Mexico border that has been at the centre of all the migration drama.

kamala-phum...

When Vice President Kamala Harris finally made the decision to visit the Mexico border last week, people inside her own office were blindsided by the news. 

For days, aides and outside allies had been calling and texting with each other about the political fallout that a potential trip would entail. But when it became known that she was going to El Paso, it left many scrambling, including officials who were responsible for making travel arrangements and others outside the VP’s office charged with crafting the messaging across the administration.

...

 

In interviews, 22 current and former vice presidential aides, administration officials and associates of Harris and Biden described a tense and at times dour office atmosphere. Aides and allies said Flournoy, in an apparent effort to protect Harris, has instead created an insular environment where ideas are ignored or met with harsh dismissals and decisions are dragged out. Often, they said, she refuses to take responsibility for delicate issues and blames staffers for the negative results that ensue.
