Kamala Harris' Border Visit: A Desperate Attempt to Save Her Failing Campaign

Vice President Kamala Harris's recent visit to the southern border was widely seen as a desperate attempt to defuse her vulnerable position on immigration and boost her flagging campaign.

Kamala Harris's recent visit to the southern border has been met with widespread criticism and mockery, as many see it as a transparent political stunt designed to salvage her failing campaign.

According to a recent Quinnipiac poll, Harris is now dead even with former President Trump in the polls, a significant drop from her two-point lead in August. This slippage comes despite massive spending by Democrats, especially in swing states, where Trump leads Harris by the narrowest of margins.

The Harris team, desperate to regain momentum, has decided that the candidate must be more accountable on issues important to voters, such as immigration. According to CNN, 49% of voters trust Trump on immigration compared to only 35% who trust Harris.

In an attempt to address this issue, Harris visited the border for a photo op, where she was seen striding resolutely next to a wall that she had previously described as a "gross misuse of taxpayer money." However, this symbolic gesture failed to convince millions of Americans that she has been concerned about the border all along.

Critics have pointed out that Harris has allowed more than 10 million people to illegally enter the country during her tenure as Vice President. They also argue that she bears responsibility for the deaths of thousands of migrants and the surge in fentanyl overdoses.

To make matters worse, ICE recently reported that there are over 425,000 convicted criminals, including murderers, kidnappers, and burglars, who have crossed the border illegally and are now at large in the United States.

Harris continues to blame Trump for the border crisis, claiming that he sabotaged a bipartisan bill that would have secured the border. However, the bill she touts had loopholes that were exploited by cartels and was opposed by many Republicans.

As the Border Patrol Union put it, "Vice President Harris has ignored the border problem she created for over three years. She goes down there for 20 minutes for a photo op… where has she been the last 3 1/2 years?"

Harris's last-minute border visit has been widely seen as a desperate attempt to deceive voters and salvage her failing campaign. However, it is unlikely to convince millions of Americans who have grown disillusioned with her performance in office.
