Kamala Harris just can’t seem to catch a break. Not that she deserves one.

Now, in her bid to replace Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee for president, she’s decided to double down on a topic that’s been a thorn in her side since day one—border security. Standing in front of a crowd of over 10,000 in Georgia, she launched into a tirade against Donald Trump, claiming he’s all talk and no action when it comes to securing the border.

Kamala’s Border Gambit

Trump made major strides during his presidency to secure the border, building miles of wall and dramatically lowering illegal immigration. Yet, when Kamala Harris took over as Vice President and was appointed as Border Czar, the border situation spiraled out of control. Biden’s administration rolled back many of Trump’s effective policies, leading to a surge in illegal crossings and a humanitarian crisis that has haunted Harris ever since.

From Fox News: Standing in front of a crowd of over 10,000 people in battleground Georgia’s capital and largest city, Vice President Kamala Harris went on offense over an issue that she and President Biden have been playing plenty of defense over the past couple of years. Harris argued that Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, has been talking a big game about securing our border, but he does not walk the walk.

Harris and her campaign are oddly enthusiastic about picking a fight over immigration and border security. Maybe she’s hoping everyone forgot her miserable track record.

Trump Campaign’s Response

However, the Trump campaign is more than ready to take her on. National press secretary Karoline Leavitt made it clear they “relish the opportunity” to “go head-to-head” with Harris on this issue. They wasted no time responding to Harris’s comments on social media.

From Fox News:
Kamala is actually BRAGGING about her record on immigration. HERE ARE THE FACTS: As Border Czar, Kamala ferried 15+ million illegals directly into our communities. She thinks illegal immigration is NOT a crime. She wants to abolish ICE. She thinks you’re stupid, the Trump campaign claimed.

Harris’s tenure as Border Czar has been an unmitigated disaster. Under her watch, the southern border has turned into a sieve. Her calls to abolish ICE and her lenient stance on illegal immigration have only exacerbated the crisis.

A Record of Failure

Harris’s approach to border security has been a study in failure. From her reluctance to visit the border to her dismissal of the crisis as a mere “challenge,” she’s shown time and again that she’s not up to the task. Her latest attempt to turn the tables on Trump by accusing him of not walking the walk is laughable, considering the stark contrast between Trump’s proactive measures and her passive stance.

The Reality of Border Security

The reality is that Trump’s policies were working. Building the wall, implementing the Remain in Mexico policy, and enhancing border patrol efforts all contributed to a significant reduction in illegal crossings. When Biden and Harris took office, they dismantled these successful measures, leading to chaos at the border.

Harris can claim she’s tough on border security all she wants, but the facts speak for themselves. The border crisis has reached unprecedented levels under her watch. Communities along the border are overwhelmed, and the humanitarian crisis has only worsened.

Harris’s Political Calculations

It’s clear that Harris is using this issue to galvanize her base. She hopes to portray herself as a strong leader on immigration, but the reality is far from her portrayal. Her political calculations might resonate with her far-left supporters, but they don’t hold water with the American people, who have witnessed the deterioration of border security firsthand.

Trump’s Proven Track Record

In contrast, Trump’s record on border security is one of action and results. His administration’s efforts led to a significant decrease in illegal crossings and a more secure border. Trump’s willingness to tackle the issue head-on, despite relentless opposition, showcased his commitment to the safety and security of the American people.

Harris’s attempt to challenge Trump on this issue is a misguided move. The American people know better. They’ve seen the stark difference between the two administrations’ approaches to border security. Trump’s policies were effective, while Harris’s tenure has been marked by failure and inaction.

The 2024 Showdown

As the 2024 showdown looms, border security will undoubtedly be a focal point. Harris’s record will be scrutinized, and her attempts to deflect blame will fall flat. Trump’s campaign is ready to highlight her failures and remind the American people of the stark contrast between his administration’s success and Harris’s incompetence.

Kamala Harris may try to reinvent herself as a tough leader on immigration, but her record tells a different story. The American people deserve a leader who will prioritize their safety and security, not one who will bow to the demands of the far left and ignore the crisis at our border. Trump’s proven track record and unwavering commitment to border security make him the clear choice in the 2024 election.

Key Takeaways:

• Harris’s tenure as Border Czar has been a disaster, with record levels of illegal crossings.
• Trump’s administration implemented successful border security measures that Harris dismantled.
• The Trump campaign is eager to take on Harris over her failed record on immigration.
