Initially, the VP claimed she was focused on the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/06\/10\/the-root-causes-of-the-migrant-crisis-are-bidens-border-policies\/\">root causes<\/a>\u201d of the migration influx and wasn\u2019t in a rush to visit despite the growing humanitarian crisis and a <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/01\/27\/bidens-border-circus-surpassed-2-million-arrests-in-2021-and-hes-going-for-a-second-record-breaking-year\/\">record-breaking number<\/a> of illegal aliens getting arrested trying to cross the U.S.-Mexico border each month. When former President Donald Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/06\/23\/kamala-rushes-to-border-after-trump-announces-visitkamala-harris-rushes-to-border-after-trump-announces-visit\/\">announced<\/a> he was making a border trip himself, Harris quickly jumped on the bandwagon. <\/p>\n<p>Harris finally arrived in El Paso in June of last year but failed to do much other than defend why exactly it took her so long to get there in the first place. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, it\u2019s not my first trip,\u201d Harris <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/06\/25\/harris-deflects-border-question-upon-arrival-claims-its-not-her-first-trip\/\">said<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019ve been to the border many times. So, the important aspect of this visit is leading this visit after the work that we did in Guatemala. \u2026 I\u2019ve said back in March I\u2019m going to come to the border. This is not a new plan, but the reality of it is that we have to deal with causes, and we have to deal with the effects.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now, just a few weeks in to the Ukraine-Russia tension, Harris is scrambling to lead the U.S. delegation at the Munich Security Conference in what some Democrat-fawning corporate media outlets have labeled the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2022\/02\/18\/politics\/kamala-harris-munich-security-conference\/index.html\">most critical foreign trip of her vice presidency<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Harris threatens to take \u201ccorrective actions to ensure there will be severe consequences\u201d against Russia if it invades Ukraine, she is silent on the extremely vulnerable U.S.-Mexico border ahead of peak illegal migration months and offers no plan of punishment for the human and drug smugglers exacerbating the crisis. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"E5yBCdWQO\"><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">US remains supportive of diplomacy with Russia, &#8220;but we are also committed to taking corrective actions to ensure there will be severe consequences&#8221; if Putin goes ahead with an invasion of Ukraine, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/VP?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@VP<\/a> Harris says in her 1st public remarks at Munich Security Conference. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/vi19MIIewa\">pic.twitter.com\/vi19MIIewa<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Jennifer Jacobs (@JenniferJJacobs) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JenniferJJacobs\/status\/1494657648666497024?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 18, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Instead of offering a plan of action or even reassurance to border states, which have to deal with the aftereffects of the Biden administration\u2019s border negligence including increased illicit drug trafficking, Harris is parading around Europe calling attention to the problems of other nations while she ignores her own. <\/p>\n<p>Harris is already <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/07\/31\/biden-and-harris-approval-ratings-plummet-across-multiple-polls\/\">extremely unpopular<\/a> with Americans, and her refusal to acknowledge or address the border problems in the U.S. while actively advocating for the security of foreign borders is an even bigger slap in the face to voters who naively believed the Biden administration would make things better. <\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>\n  Jordan Boyd is a staff writer at The Federalist and co-producer of The Federalist Radio Hour.
