Recent findings from a Rasmussen Reports survey reveal that likely voters are not impressed with her performance, with many indicating that this issue will affect their presidential vote in November. The survey results show that 63% of respondents rate Harris&#8217;s handling of the situation as &#8220;poor&#8221; to &#8220;fair,&#8221; with nearly half (48%) labeling it as &#8220;poor.&#8221; Alarmingly, among those who view her performance negatively are 53% of Hispanic voters, 50% of Black voters, and 70% of independents.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about the importance of Harris&#8217;s role regarding border issues in their voting decisions for president, 60% affirmed it would be significant. The illegal immigration crisis has plagued President Joe Biden and Harris since they took office and reversed former President Donald Trump&#8217;s border policies. The situation escalated to such an extent that Biden appointed Harris to address it directly; at the time, she was referred to as the &#8220;border czar.&#8221; In his announcement in 2021, Biden stated he chose her because she was \u201cthe most qualified person\u201d for leading efforts with Mexico and Central American countries to manage migration towards the southern border.<\/p>\n<p>During a visit to Latin America, she claimed in an interview with NBC\u2019s Lester Holt that she had been addressing this issue for a long time. However, during this interview, she began distancing herself from responsibility for it; later on, allies suggested Biden had set her up for failure by assigning her such a challenging task.<\/p>\n<p>Despite attempts by Harris and supportive media outlets to reshape perceptions about her role, Rep. Mark Green (R-TN), chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, released a two-page fact sheet emphasizing her responsibilities as czar. He noted that even at the time of appointment\u2014when media outlets labeled her as \u201cborder czar\u201d\u2014it indicated an official tasked with managing specific issues related to borders. Green remarked on how charitable it would be to say she&#8217;s merely failed at securing borders; he described her more accurately as an advocate for open borders who has consistently opposed measures aimed at enhancing border security throughout both previous roles and during Biden\u2019s administration concerning the ongoing crisis<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2647,"featured_media":2316696,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Harris-Border-Poll-scaled-1024x683.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[3811,4021,32457,4223],"class_list":["post-2316695","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-border","tag-harris","tag-key-issues","tag-voters"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Harris-Border-Poll-scaled-1024x683.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2316695","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\/2647"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2316695"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2316695\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2316696"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2316695"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2316695"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2316695"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
