The illegal immigration issue is the Achilles’ heel for Democrats. Especially Vice President Kamala Harris.
And now a border patrol boss has gone on Fox News to drop a massive truth-bomb about Kamala Harris.
If there’s any issue that Donald Trump needs to hammer home the most if he wants to win the election this year it’s the illegal immigration issue. The job of the Biden-Harris administration on that issue is largely indefensible and has been a coverup job for years. They’ve been claiming to have a better, secure border than any Presidential administration over the past several decades, which is just laughable.
Almost all Americans agree that, no matter how you cut it, the illegal immigration crisis at the southern border is not acceptable anymore. Voters on both ends of the political spectrum want this issue solved once and for all. That’s why this is Trump’s biggest play on the table. He’s also getting more and more ammo on this issue to attack Kamala harris as the weeks go by.
Border Patrol Union Leader Criticizes Vice President Harris for Lack of Engagement with Border Patrol Officials
National Border Patrol Council Vice President Jon Anfinsen claimed on Monday that Vice President Kamala Harris has not engaged with his organization despite her designated role in overseeing the border.
In 2021, President Joe Biden appointed Harris to manage the migrant surge at the southern border, leading to widespread reports labeling her as the nation’s “border czar.” Recently, however, corporate media have attempted to alter this narrative. Speaking on America’s Newsroom, Anfinsen asserted that Harris, who he believes is responsible for border management, has never met with any members of his organization.
“We have never had any contact with her,” Anfinsen stated when host Dana Perino inquired about their interactions. When asked if any of his colleagues had met with Harris, he responded, “None of us. She made one trip to the border in El Paso a few years ago, and I’m sure she met with some agents there, but none of us in our organization, never.”

Biden tasked Harris with leading the administration’s efforts to mitigate the border crisis in early 2021, focusing on addressing the root causes of irregular migration from Central America. However, according to CNN, Harris’ office began distancing her from this role almost immediately after the announcement.
Facing increasing pressure, Harris visited the border in June 2021 in El Paso, Texas. Since her appointment, more than seven million migrants have attempted to enter the U.S. through the southern border, as per the latest data from Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
Anfinsen criticized the administration’s handling of the border situation, suggesting that the crisis could have been avoided if the Biden administration had maintained the previous administration’s policies. “If the White House had literally just done nothing when Joe Biden’s administration began, left in place the Trump policies, we wouldn’t be sitting here,” Anfinsen remarked. He argued that the administration’s actions, such as ending various policies and executive orders, effectively opened the door for mass illegal immigration and exploitation of the asylum system.
“The entire agency’s been demoralized because the administration has shown that they just don’t care about the border patrol and its mission,” Anfinsen added. He highlighted issues with retention and recruitment within the Border Patrol, noting that many agents are disheartened by the current situation. “For some people, they figure why do they want to deal with the mess that they’ve been seeing? So it’s been really challenging the past few years.”
Anfinsen’s comments reflect growing frustration within the Border Patrol as the organization grapples with ongoing challenges at the southern border.
The Indefensible Record Of Biden & Harris On Border Security Makes Dem Allies Squirm
The record of Kamala Harris on handling the border crisis is so bad that the media literally tried to get away with rewriting history like we live in an Orwell novel by saying she was never given the role of “border czar.” They say she was never given this role and that it doesn’t even exist.
Well, of course, Joe Biden didn’t knight her with a sword to name her the border czar with a plaque to go along with the coronation. But to argue she wasn’t put in charge of getting down to the bottom of the underlying causes of illegal immigration is an outright lie. Joe Biden made the announcement himself.
Arguing she wasn’t a czar is just semantic and trying to muddy the debate so that, hopefully, voters will ignore her poor record. That’s what’s most important.
