As Twitchy reported earlier, even after she laughed out loud when asked if she’d be visiting the southern border to assess the border “challenge” facing the Biden-Harris administration, President Biden named Vice President Kamala Harris his point person to lead efforts to stem migration across the US-Mexico border.
The Heritage Foundation’s John Cooper has put together a thread of Harris’s recent comments about the border, and it’s a doozy.
THREAD: VP @KamalaHarris was just named the point person to lead the Biden administration's response to the border crisis it has created.
Let's take a walk down memory lane and look at some of her recent statements about the border, kids in cages, and more!

April 6, 2019: "The pain and consequences of the human rights abuses that are still happening at our border will be felt by these children, their families, and our country for many years to come."

June 2019: Harris tells MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle, "We would not put children in cages."
That didn't turn out to be true.
Also says it's "inhumane and intolerable" to return unaccompanied minors their parents in their home countries.https://t.co/U2LwXOAIKF

June 25, 2019: "What is happening at the border is a human rights abuse. It is immoral and wrong."
Does Harris still think detaining unaccompanied minors is wrong? Because that's her boss' policy: pic.twitter.com/wc5idUy1uU

June 28, 2019: "What is happening with the detention of these children…is a human rights abuse being committed by the United States government."
A "human rights abuse" which Biden and Harris is now committing to even greater degree: pic.twitter.com/FYX4Kh0KcQ

In a June 2019 debate, Harris voiced her opposition to deporting illegal aliens if they had not committed crimes, proudly shared her record of making California a sanctuary state.

July 31, 2019: "These immigrant children at the border have not committed crimes and should not be treated like criminals. #DemDebate"
By her own logic, Biden and Harris are treating immigrant children like criminals. pic.twitter.com/sbsW2sgXlc

These are just some of the things Vice Pres. Harris has said about the border. Some are extreme positions, like bragging about making her state a sanctuary state.
Others show her political opportunism.
She is unfit to be handling any response to this border crisis.

Thank you, Mr. Cooper. Enlightening thread.

Like when you put the words "In bed" at the end of a fortune cookie, put a maniacal cackle at the end of each of her statements

She’s one of the least likable people in politics and that’s saying a lot
— Pop Copy (@urbanmeyerlives) March 24, 2021
Don't forget that she just laughed when asked if she was going to the border. But sure, she will take this super serious. #refreshing

KH's MO is to provide lip service in promotion of her political goals. The problem is that that lip service results in explosive events that she hasn't completely thought through. She'll just swallow the (non)shame and give more lip service to meet the newly emerging need.

They make up for their stupidity with an incredible lack of self awareness.

Does this mean that Joe won't need to answer any questions from the press? It'll be handed off to Kamala.
— CPrive1# (@CarolPrivette2) March 24, 2021
There's going to be a lot of cackling going on in that presser.

Is it any doubt that he appointed the wrong person for the job? That’s all he’s done so far. #BidenAdministration

Jesus, the hypocrisy. Kamala has no principles.
— Fran Power (@FPower1) March 24, 2021
I’m sorry, I can’t watch all of this, she makes me sick. What a hypocrite and a phony.
— Kelly (@KellyGolightly1) March 24, 2021
She’s got a big job ahead of her, fixing the mess the Trump administration left her.
