Harris has been \u200dlabeled the &#8220;border \u2063czar,&#8221; a role that has been contested \u2062as she did not effectively address the surge \u200cin illegal crossings during her tenure. Critics, including \u2062Brandon Judd, the former president of the Border\u2062 Patrol Union, have expressed disappointment with her lack of action on key policy implementations\u200c designed\u2063 to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/report-u-s-sets-record-for-most-single-month-illegal-encounters-at-the-southern-border\/\" title=\"U.S. Breaks Record for Monthly Illegal Border Crossings\">tackle <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ex-top-immigration-adviser-biden-agenda-would-fundamentally-erase-very-essence-of-americas-nationhood\/\" title=\"Ex-Top Immigration Adviser: Biden Agenda \u2018Would Fundamentally Erase Very Essence Of America\u2019s Nationhood\u2019\">immigration issues<\/a><\/a>. Despite efforts to send funding to Central American nations\u2063 to address root causes of\u200c migration, Harris has \u200bnot visited the border or these countries in nearly two\u2063 years, resulting in ongoing challenges at the border. Judd suggests that\u2063 Harris has not sufficiently recognized or addressed the actual causes\u2064 of migration, which contributed to a record number of illegal crossings. As her political future looms, questions remain about her effectiveness in dealing with \u2062immigration, raising concerns about what her presidency could entail.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> <script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>As Vice President Kamala Harris gets closer to securing the Democratic Party&rsquo;s nomination for the presidency, the left is scrambling to cover up her record of total failure at the southern border.<\/p>\n<p>Despite being dubbed the &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/peter-doocy-confronts-kjp-misleading-kamala-harris-talking-points-card-handed-dc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">border czar<\/a>,&rdquo; we are now told that such a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/fact-check-resurfaced-videos-web-pages-show-vast-scale-medias-cover-kamalas-endless-failures\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">title never existed<\/a> and that Harris did not have the job of addressing why <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/illegal-immigration-grew-5-percent-last-month-chilling-no-potential-terrorists-caught\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">millions of illegals<\/a> easily stream into this country.

Although she was referred to as the &#8220;border czar,&#8221; it is now claimed that this title was never official and that she was not responsible for addressing the influx of millions of undocumented immigrants into the country. However, it was indeed her assigned role, and former colleagues are now voicing their criticisms of her performance. Brandon Judd, who recently retired as president of the Border Patrol Union, expressed his disappointment in Harris&#8217;s handling of immigration issues, stating, &#8220;We provided her with the necessary policies, but she chose not to implement them.&#8221; According to Fox News, during the time Judd worked with Harris, border crossings reached record highs in 2021, 2022, and 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Fox reported that in 2021, 41 percent of border apprehensions were from Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras, but this figure dropped to 21 percent by the 2023 fiscal year. However, this decline does not necessarily indicate a reduction in illegal immigration from these countries; it could suggest a significant increase in undocumented immigrants from other nations. Harris&#8217;s role under President Joe Biden&#8217;s &#8220;Root Causes&#8221; executive order was to tackle the reasons behind the surge of illegal immigrants from these Central American nations. In June 2021, she negotiated a $4 billion aid package for Central America to address these root causes, which also attracted an additional $5.2 billion in private investments. Nevertheless, she has not visited the border or these countries since January 2022, and no new commitments have been made, leaving illegal immigration as a persistent issue. Judd criticized Harris for failing to grasp the real issues driving migration, stating, &#8220;The main problems are the root causes she identified: political instability, climate, and crime. These were also present during President Trump&#8217;s administration, yet we did not see a surge in illegal immigration then.&#8221; He further emphasized that Harris has not effectively addressed these root causes, and if she had, illegal immigration would likely be lower.<\/p>\n<p>If Judd&#8217;s comments about Harris are indicative of her potential presidency, the border crisis may only be the tip of the iceberg. Reflecting on her three and a half years in the Biden administration, one must question her accomplishments. She has not effectively tackled border issues, often delivered speeches filled with vague language and inappropriate laughter, and contributed to the narrative that President Biden is fit for office despite concerns about his mental acuity<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2309630,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Kamala-Harris-Border-Patrol.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[33146,3813,32438,7620],"class_list":["post-2309624","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-border-patrol","tag-immigration","tag-kamala-harris","tag-retirement"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Kamala-Harris-Border-Patrol.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2309624","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2309624"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2309624\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2309630"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2309624"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2309624"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2309624"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
