That's the Republican mantra. From: time.com/7001817/kamala-harris-immigration/Harris was never put in charge of the border or immigration policy. Nor was she involved in overseeing law-enforcement efforts or guiding the federal response to the crisis. Her mandate was much narrower: to focus on examining and improving the underlying conditions in the Northern Triangle of Central America—El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras—which has been racked by decades of poverty, war, chronic violence, and political instability. why did all the news outlets (which I linked above - CNN,NPR, Washington Post) say she was put in charge of it? Did they lie then? Those are left leaning publications. The notion that it's some GOP talking point is propaganda they're spreading now. They literally are saying whatever they want to, and not bothering to even give you the courtesy of acting like you have a brain. This is the same media that called Joe "beyond cogent" and excused him for years. Have at least a bit of skepticism. Trumpists hardly have the concentration span to discern the difference between "in charge of the southern border" and "addressing the root causes of migration". "Build a wall" is simplistic pub-talk politics. Frankly, I thought better of Republicans until Trump made them stupid. Some quick fact-checks: CNN: Harris was never made Biden’s “border czar,” a label the White House has always emphasized is inaccurate. In reality, Biden gave Harris a more limited immigration-related assignment in 2021, asking her to lead diplomacy with El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras in an attempt to address the conditions that prompted their citizens to try to migrate to the United States. edition.cnn.com/2024/07/25/politics/fact-check-trump-false-claims-kamala-harris/index.htmlWashington Post: President Joe Biden tasked Harris early in his administration with addressing the root causes of migration. NPR: One of her first assignments from Biden was to tackle the intractable root causes of migration, and her first foreign trip was to Guatemala and Mexico City. www.npr.org/2024/07/08/nx-s1-5010409/biden-harris-scrutiny-2024

The GOP is also calling her a lunatic -- so you're going to vote for Trump. HAHAHAHA You're like Kamala - when you're proven wrong you laugh. That's not the reason I'd vote for Trump over her. She was the most left senator in the democratic party in 2020. That's the actual reason - If I consider what my gas bill looks like, it's an easy choice. And energy prices drive everything. The media now has the job of convincing everyone to ignore their senses and do the "right, non-racist non-sexist" thing and vote with your heart rather than your brain. Since Trump still has a lead in swing states including Pennsylvania, the media will need to work overtime on their propaganda. Some sort of hoax tying Trump to something crazy might work..... let's see... the public are tired of Russia Russia Russia.... let's say Trump is involved in project 2025! That'll scare the sheep! 😂 This is why we're in decline. All that glitter is not GOLD!!!

A lot can change in a couple of years worth of failure. Revisionist history is nice. Pity the border turned into such a catastrophe- she could be given credit for finding and addressing the root causes for the massive influx of migrants from Central America. Good thing her assignment was purely academic with no relevance to the humanitarian crisis. Otherwise her conclusions that the "problems were generational and unlikely to be resolved quickly" would've seemed like something that an 8th grade civics class could've concluded in a 45 minute period.

I get the feeling that you'll condemn what the Democrats do no matter what. The following is from: www.vox.com/politics/24153132/us-border-crisis-mexico-migrant-immigration-asylumJawetz said that Americans’ dissatisfaction with the immigration system is “totally fair.” “The immigration system is not working as you might want it to work. And that’s what people have meant for many, many years when they said the immigration system is broken,” he said. That dysfunction predates Biden, but has now compounded to the point that members of both parties recognize the status quo is untenable. Most recently, a solution seemed within reach when a bipartisan group of lawmakers reached a deal that traded sweeping border security measures for aid for Ukraine, Taiwan, and Israel. But Republicans in the House ultimately tanked the bill so that Donald Trump could keep the issue alive on the campaign trail this year.The fact is that responding to the global surge of migration requires major reforms that no one president could enact unilaterally. That includes providing adequate resources to the most overburdened parts of the system, ensuring the Border Patrol officers can perform more inspections, and staffing enough asylum officers and immigration judges to process migrants’ claims for protection. By itself, enforcement is insufficient to resolve the problems at the border, Ruiz Soto said. “Even the most strict policies of a potential future Trump administration would not be enough if the resources and infrastructure continues to be the same,” he said.

I see Kamala as running strong and voicing her own opinions now that she's campaigning for presidency. She is different from Biden but as VP went along in solidarity with her president. We must not forget that the solution to the border that a Republican brought to the floor was supported by both Harris and Biden and would have been enacted into law if Trump hadn't told them to veto it because he wanted to use the border problem as a campaign issue. He doesn't care about fixing it, he just wants to complain about the other guys. Recently there has been lower numbers coming across then when Trump was in office even. Crime is lower than when Trump was in office. Many good things were done for your country that helped all Americans. Like you I an hesitant to know if Harris is a good choice. So far I do like what she has been saying in the few rallies she has held and she definitely has the support of a lot of people. The polls are running her ahead of Trump and 5% of that are Republicans that once said they would vote for Trump, so that's huge. Michelle Obama endorsed Kamala and said she was so proud of her. Then Obama also came on line and endorsed her. She has the donors opening their checkbooks in big time donations. She has the younger generation and the backing of many Hollywood celebrities. That is a big boost. I would love for Michelle Obama to be president too. Love her and I think she would just take it away if she jumped into the race. But she won't. She didn't even want Barack to run but she did because she wanted to support him. Trump imo made a huge mistake with his VP pick. JD Vance is more extreme than Trump even. To want women to stay in violent marriage for the sake of the children is the most stupid thing I have ever heard. The whole reason why I had the courage to leave my violent marriage is because I didn't want my children growing up to think that kind of thing was something a woman should tolerate in a marriage. Hearing your parents fight all the time is not a good example to what a good marriage looks like. Why would you want your children to be subjected to that and then do the same in their marriages, continuing the dysfunction. Both my children thanked me for getting out of the marriage. He is against abortion for incest or rape. He is in the state that didn't allow the 10 year old girl who was a survivor of incest and rape to get an abortion in that state. That is hideous. And his latest comments that people who don't have children shouldn't hold the same level of power in your country is just flat out nuts. No, Trump did himself no favors and I think he's beginning to see just how toxic his pick is. Good for the other side though! Gosh you're a breath of fresh air Snow! I also wonder whether Trump will shelve Vance for someone with more appeal. When it was Biden, it didn't really matter who he chose. And even though he's still firmly ahead when up against Kamala, the gap is more narrow than with Biden. I really am interested to see how pragmatic Harris would be as president. Obama after all was very far left as a senator, but governed as a pragmatic moderate. It might be the same with Harris. I'm much less worried about the prospect of Harris than Biden. Biden simply wasn't able to function for large bits of his presidency. I don't have any doubts about Harris' cognitive ability. You make a good point about Obama. I think it is to Obama's credit that he may have wished he could go very far left, but as president he had to be more moderate to respect the people that are not as far left as he was. When you are president you have to moderate your view some in order to serve all Americans as well as you can. I would hope that Harris will also be able to recognize that there is a need to be everyone's president and still get some things done that will possibly not make either side happy that she feels will help all Americans at the same time. I do not envy anyone that runs for office these days. The polarization makes it very difficult to get anything done and it's a no win in so many ways. I don't blame Michelle for not wanting to run. I think Biden did the right thing. He is currently capable to do his job but he has become more fragile in many ways so I had concerns about him being able to continue for another 4 years. So many people on both sides had that concern so I have respect for Biden that he didn't stay in for his ego but endorsed Harris because he felt that his resignation was for the good of the nation. I respect that move.

I respect that move. I've heard that there was a bit of 'behind the scenes' pressure by Obama and Pelosi to force Biden and his enabling family to get out of the race. I've heard that they gave him an ultimatum: withdraw and we'll make sure your legacy is good, or stay in and we'll abandon all support, you'll lose to Trump, and your legacy will be failed. It's well known that Obama and Biden are not the best of friends, and Biden was furious that Pelosi, Obama and others had been asking him to step aside. Nonetheless, he took the smart way out - no sense losing in a landslide to a blowhard like Trump. That really is my hope with Harris - she'll be pretty tightly controlled by the Democratic party elites, but my hope is that she'll be like Obama. Despite the bump she's gotten compared to Biden though, she has a hill to climb. As it currently stands, Trump has a much easier path to victory. The media will have their work cut out for them this time, no doubt about it!

Won't have to vote again? Why not? If the country is still a democracy after he serves his 2nd term why will there be no more voting? What does he mean by he will fix it so there is no more reason to vote? But his base will say, he said it, but he really won't do it. Really? If you want a country that has Trump in office till he dies and no more ability to chose a leader as he is stating, is this really what you want? Believe him when he says things.

The media will have their work cut out for them this time, no doubt about it! No question. This election will be a very interesting one. I'm with you hoping that if she wins she is like Obama. I think if there ever was a time for a woman to win the presidency now is it. There are far too many women in the US that are very unhappy with the Republican message that is quite anti women, if you listen to Vance's rhetoric and read their Project 2025 document. When the supreme court overthrew Roe v Wade, they really upset one half of your nation. It will be interesting to watch that's for sure. Right now she has momentum that is amazing, but we all know how quick things can change. The video I posted above of Trump talking to a Christian group and telling them that if he wins they won't have to vote anymore and then posting an ad where he shows himself as president for ever is going to scare a lot of Americans if they believe he will do that. Tighten our seat belts, it's going to be a wild ride!! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

You make a good point here. There would be an easy fix, which would also fix the other times the GOP and Democrats have pulled the "don't support the bill" stunt: single-item bills. Have a separate vote on the border bill that is not tied to many other things that can be used as leverage or rationale for pulling support from it. A single item bill would've forced the GOP to plainly declare whether they wanted to address the border or whether they didn't. That's politics. Was it wrong for Trump to lean on the GOP to reject a bill solely for political reasons? Yes! I agree with you. But they've been doing that sort of stuff for decades. Single item bills eliminate all excuses. GOP members can say, "well, we decided that since it goes against our principles to continue to pour money without conditions into Ukraine, we had to abandon the bill." Don't give them that excuse. You'll recall when the Saudis backstabbed Biden and released the letter of Biden begging the Prince not to announce that he was cutting oil production until after the midterm elections? That's just political gaming. Same as Trump did. It's disgusting in both cases - I am with you there! There's another level to the border thing - we know for a fact that people on the terrorist watch list have come across our border and gotten away. Drugs and child/sex trafficking has also increased after Biden reversed the 'remain in Mexico' policy. It's enough for any reasonable person to view it through the context of an invasion. The president has the authority to use executive action on the overwhelmed border, and he did early last month. Trump had already planned to do what Biden did with executive order banning asylum for people who cross illegally. But by not passing legislation, Trump and the GOP forced Biden to do (once again) what Trump was going to do in the first place. But it's a problem for Biden-Harris administration, who want to be seen as the welcoming party and thus get votes of relatives of people here in the US. It's not a problem for Trump - it's what he campaigned on. It's political games. Just like most of it is, frankly. And it is disgusting.

Even if he did manage to pardon himself, many countries also bar people based on character. People of dubious character such as Trump would be barred from many countries whether he is a felon or not. Some of the workers are going to find the same restrictions apply to them.

I honestly don't understand their mindset if they want to win? Why would you alienate women? And, don't they know you should never piss off a menopausal woman... lol Women make up the majority of voters.
Today, females make up 50.4% of the country's overall population of 334,914,895. According to the Census 2021 (most recent) data, there were about 168 million women in the United States and 164 million males.

In latest news...
A. Democrats reject popular and competent Gov. Shapiro (of the only 'must-win' state) for Kamalas VP in favor of a guy with a DUI who lies about his military rank and experience, as well as lies about his wife using IVF.
**Turns out Shapiro was a little too Jewish for the same democrats who call Republicans Nazis and Trump Hitler. 🙄😂**
B. And rather than use the DNC to have an open nomination for the Democrat nominee and show America that democracy matters, the Dems circumvent that option and anoint Harris, who has never in her life received a primary vote for president.
**Turns out the "Democratic" party can completely destroy the democratic process and give the middle finger to their voters to .. save democracy...🙄🤣**
C. And the DNC has a mobile (un)Planned Parenthood bus outside the DNC center to provide free abortions and vasectomies. (I'm all for this actually. The last thing we need in our country is democrats reproducing and multiplying!!)
**And Vance is "weird"...🙄😂🤣"
D. And finally, President Joe Biden, who the democrats stabbed in the back and forced to step out of the race, gets to speak on the first (worst) night of the convention. And they push him out of prime time to speak at the 11pm EST slot. (I'm no fan of Biden, but even I feel terrible for how they used him and discarded him when he didn't serve their purposes.)
**Turns out that the people who adoringly wave "We ❤️ Joe" signs" are happy to humiliate him and stab him in the back...🙄😂🙄**
Demopocrisy.

In latest news... A. Democrats reject popular and competent Gov. Shapiro (of the only 'must-win' state) for Kamalas VP in favor of a guy with a DUI who lies about his military rank and experience, as well as lies about his wife using IVF. **Turns out Shapiro was a little too Jewish for the same democrats who call Republicans Nazis and Trump Hitler. 🙄😂** B. And rather than use the DNC to have an open nomination for the Democrat nominee and show America that democracy matters, the Dems circumvent that option and anoint Harris, who has never in her life received a primary vote for president. **Turns out the "Democratic" party can completely destroy the democratic process and give the middle finger to their voters to .. save democracy...🙄🤣** C. And the DNC has a mobile (un)Planned Parenthood bus outside the DNC center to provide free abortions and vasectomies. (I'm all for this actually. The last thing we need in our country is democrats reproducing and multiplying!!) **And Vance is "weird"...🙄😂🤣" D. And finally, President Joe Biden, who the democrats stabbed in the back and forced to step out of the race, gets to speak on the first (worst) night of the convention.

Harris has a resume. Trump has a rap sheet.

I've met Governor Josh Shapiro at a ground breaking ceremony for a VA hospital. He is a very nice guy. My husband serves on his advisory board. Shapiro is a huge supporter of veterans. Yes, it would have been very nice to have him as VP as he is young. The consensus is that he is too liberal (suits me fine!) and the R's would have loved that!

I think they were also worried about offending the Pro-Hamas group of their voters even further by having a Jewish VP. It's a tricky tightrope. I think Shapiro had something like a 60%+ approval rating in Pennsylvania. I know they wanted to balance the ticket given that Harris is objectively the most liberal person in the party not named Sanders, but it won't matter if they can't win Pennsylvania.
