Harris responsible for border fiasco

Fast forward to 2021. I wanted President Biden and Vice President Harris to succeed, and I did my best to work with their administration. When Vice President Harris was charged with leading our country’s response to the worsening border crisis – through Secretary Mayorkas, who assured me all policy, program, and operational suggestions would be passed up the chain – I presented her with several policy proposals to help reduce the influx of migrants, stop cartels from taking advantage of innocent people for monetary gain, and halt deadly fentanyl from entering our communities. She shot them down.

Instead of addressing cartels and the human devastation they cause to migrants and U.S. citizens alike, Border Czar Harris tried to explain away the border crisis as a climate and political instability issue, even though people from over 160 nationalities have tried to enter the country during my tenure as an agent.

Since then, we have watched the results of her inaction unfold before our eyes. For years, independent coyotes paid cartels to move migrants through territory they controlled along the border, and the criminal syndicates stuck to their traditional line of business drug smuggling, which was far more profitable. Cartel leaders, who will commit human atrocities to fund their efforts for power and corruption, are raking in $13 billion in annual profits today compared to $500 million in 2018 – and revenue is just one part of the story.

We all know about the horrific crimes committed against Americans by illegal migrants, but many, including Harris, don’t know about the migrant suffering we see on a daily basis. We see little girls crying who exhibit the signs of rape and abuse. We see migrants robbed of all their possessions. We see smugglers trapping desperate people in vehicles to burn to death, and vehicle accidents that leave victims strewn over the road.

Unfortunately, Harris has not seen the harsh realities of the humanitarian crisis at our border because she only visited the border once, and within a “politically safe” sector. She cares only about optics, not results.

I’ve worked with Vice President Harris, Secretary Mayorkas, and other officials in the Harris-Biden administration. Harris knows that the border crisis is the direct result of her and Biden’s policies, and she knows the solutions, but she refuses to implement them. I’ve questioned whether she is so power-hungry that she is willing to deny reality to appease her political base, or whether she is just dangerously incompetent. I’ve concluded that she is both.

The Trump border policies were much more successful and hopefully, he will be able to reinstate them if elected.  Trump has also indicated he will call for a mass deportation of illegals.  Texas has imposed its own border policy to slow illegal entry through Texas.  Now the illegals are entering through California and Arizona.  New Mexico is apparently not a safe route.
