Ah, Vice President Kamala Harris’ recent Arizona escapade—what a magic show! If you lost track of how many times they mentioned “security,” don’t worry, you’re not alone. It seemed less about tackling problems and more about playing a political game of cards.
Harris knows that immigration is a sore spot for the American people, and with former President Trump ahead of her in the polls on this issue, she’s scrambling to make up for lost time. Polls show voters trust Trump more to handle border security, and Harris is trying to flip that script. But here’s the kicker: this isn’t about making the border safer or protecting American lives. It’s about getting votes.
See, Harris has a real problem. Under the Biden-Harris administration, more than 12.5 million people have entered the U.S. illegally. Let that sink in for a minute. That’s the largest number on record, and it’s not because they’re doing a great job down there. Harris talks a big game, but where’s the action been for the last three years? She’s been the administration’s “border czar” all this time and hasn’t moved the needle. Now, she wants to act like she’s the one who can fix it. Seems a little too convenient, don’t you think?
Border Bill Claims and Policy Shifts
Harris spent much of her time in Arizona trying to lay the blame at Trump’s feet, claiming he blocked a Senate border bill that would have solved all our problems. The truth? That bill wasn’t going to fix anything. It didn’t tackle the main issues that are pulling people across the border, and in some ways, it might have made things worse.
Let’s break it down. The bill didn’t touch the fact that people coming over with children get released almost immediately because of a decades-old court ruling. It didn’t stop the Biden administration from practically ignoring federal laws that require illegal entrants to be detained. And it sure didn’t restore Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy, which was one of the few things keeping a handle on the flow of people. Instead, this bill would’ve poured money into processing more migrants, while our borders remain just as vulnerable.
Trump didn’t kill that bill because he wanted to keep the border crisis going for political gain. The bill itself was flawed from the get-go. Blaming him for its failure is just Harris looking for a scapegoat. It’s easier to point fingers than to admit the bill was designed to look like a solution without actually being one. This claim is just another Harris slight of hand.
Border Policy Evolution
| Time Period | Policy Approach |
|---|---|
| Previous Administration | Strict border control, wall construction |
| Early Current Administration | Policy reversal, “catch and release” |
| Recent Shift | Renewed focus on border security |
Addressing the Fentanyl Crisis
One of the few things Harris said that makes sense is that fentanyl is a major issue. No argument there. Fentanyl is killing Americans at an alarming rate, and yes, most of it is coming through our legal ports of entry. Harris says she’ll invest in new technology to detect fentanyl in vehicles crossing the border. That’s great, but why is she just now bringing this up NOW? Fentanyl has been wreaking havoc for YEARS, and if the administration was serious about stopping it, they would’ve acted a long time ago.
Instead, they’ve been reactive, always playing catch-up. You don’t get credit for fixing something you let break in the first place, you’ve earned the blame.
The Sanctuary City Conundrum
Here’s where it gets even more troubling. The Biden-Harris administration has embraced policies that encourage sanctuary cities—places that refuse to cooperate with ICE to detain and deport illegal immigrants. Arizona’s Sheriff Mark Lamb spelled it out: the country is filled with criminals—13,000 convicted murderers, to be exact—who are here illegally because the system isn’t working. Harris and Biden have allowed dangerous people to slip through the cracks, and now these criminals are living in our communities.
Think about that for a minute. Policies that are supposed to be compassionate are putting American lives at risk. Sanctuary cities have become sanctuaries for criminals, and we’re all paying the price. People are being killed, children are being trafficked, and the administration is turning a blind eye.
Trump’s Achievements in Border Security
In light of such chaos, can we take a moment for the achievements of the recent past? A secure southern border with over 400 miles of a mighty impressive wall, backing immigration laws to the hilt, and ending the vexing “Catch-and-Release” policy. Now that’s a legacy that’s harder to topple than the Great Wall!

Values and Principles in Border Policy
Remember when securing our borders, protecting our national interests, and holding people accountable wasn’t about politics, but just plain common sense? Seems like nowadays, we’ve got to remind folks that there’s a real difference between keeping the country safe and putting on a political show. On one side, you’ve got liberal ideas pushing for open borders and chaotic sanctuary policies that create more problems than they solve. On the other, conservative values are rooted in law, order, and giving everyone the chance to thrive. It’s a principled path, one that America has always valued and still wants to see.
Conclusion
Let’s be clear (as Obama -er I mean Kamala says): Kamala Harris didn’t suddenly get religion on border security because she cares about solving the problem. She’s doing it because she cares about one thing—VOTES. After three years of inaction, she’s trying to convince us she’s the one to fix a problem she helped create. And let’s not forget, when Trump called her out, saying she should’ve saved her airfare and stayed in Washington to close the border with the stroke of a pen, he wasn’t wrong. The tools to secure the border are already there. What’s missing is the political will.
Harris is more concerned about how things look than how things are. She’s more focused on not stepping on toes than stepping up to lead. Being a leader means making tough choices, sometimes unpopular ones, and doing what’s right even when it hurts. Harris, for all her talk, has spent more time flip-flopping than leading. And it’s hurting America.
At the end of the day, this is about more than just border security—it’s about truth, it’s about action, and it’s about doing what’s right. Harris may be talking tough now, but talk is cheap. What we need are results, not political games. The American people deserve better, and they should hold this administration accountable for its failures.
And that’s the way I see it.
