Kamala Harris Called for Reducing ICE Funding in 2018, Now Advocates Border Security in 2024 Campaign

Kamala Harris’ Border Blunder: A Comedy of Errors

Vice President Kamala Harris, known for her word salads and policy flip-flops, once led a pack of Democratic senators in a crusade against border security. Back in 2018, they called for slashing funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and giving a thumbs down to more Border Patrol agents and that pesky border wall. Oh, how times change!

Picture this: Then-Senator Harris and her merry band of Democrats penned a letter to Senate money-handlers, practically begging, “Please, oh please, don’t give President Trump a dime for those new Border Patrol folks.” It’s almost as if they thought illegal immigration was just a figment of Trump’s imagination!

Baldwin’s Border Backpedal: Wisconsin’s Wobbly Democrat

And who do we find among these border security naysayers? None other than Senator Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin, now sweating bullets as she faces a tough re-election battle. It seems the chickens have come home to roost, and they’re not too happy about the lack of border fencing!

These lawmakers practically got on their knees, imploring the money-handlers to “reject any funding for President Trump’s border wall.” It’s almost as if they thought a sturdy wall might actually work! Heaven forbid we have effective border security, right?

“We urge you to reduce funding for the administration’s reckless immigration enforcement operations that are tearing families apart and harming our economy,” they wailed. Because apparently, enforcing the law is now considered “reckless.” Who knew?

Harris’ Hypocrisy: From Border Basher to Security Supporter?

Fast forward to 2024, and suddenly Harris has had an epiphany. She’s telling crowds in Las Vegas, “We know our immigration system is broken, and we know what it takes to fix it. Comprehensive reform that includes, yes, strong border security and an earned pathway to citizenship.” Well, well, well, how the turntables…

It’s almost as hilarious as her attempts to explain complex issues. Remember when she enlightened us all about the Ukraine conflict? “Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country.” Groundbreaking stuff, Madam Vice President!

Meanwhile, in Trump Land…

While Harris and her Democrat pals were busy trying to dismantle border security, the Trump administration was actually getting things done. Let’s take a stroll down memory lane, shall we?

• Secured $15 billion to build the border wall
• Ended “catch and release” policies
• Reduced asylum fraud
• Signed safe third country agreements with Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras
• Deported over 20,000 gang members

But hey, why focus on actual results when you can have word salads and policy flip-flops, right?

The Biden-Harris Border Fiasco

Now, under the stellar leadership of Biden and Harris, we’ve got 99 terror watchlist suspects roaming free in the U.S. after being caught at the southern border. But don’t worry, folks! Harris assures us she’s all about “strong border security” now. Perhaps she’ll suggest building a wall of Venn diagrams to keep the bad guys out?

In the immortal words of Vice President Harris herself, “The significance of the passage of time, right? The significance of the passage of time. So when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time.” Indeed, Madam Vice President, indeed.

Conclusion: The Border Security Comedy Hour

As we watch this political theater unfold, one thing’s clear: the Biden-Harris administration’s border policy is about as stable as a house of cards in a hurricane. From denouncing border security to claiming to support it, they’ve pirouetted so fast it’s a wonder they haven’t gotten dizzy.

But fear not, dear readers! As long as we have politicians who can explain complex geopolitical situations with the depth of a kiddie pool and the clarity of mud, we’ll never run out of material for our political comedy nights. Stay tuned for the next episode of “Border Security: The Hilarious Harris Chronicles”!
