As reported, the Biden/Harris people have finally caved and said that Kamala Harris will be going to the border (now that President Trump is going). This from redstate.com.
Jen Psaki was doing her best to spin Harris’ trip to the border, but in the process, she basically admitted the border was out of control.
She also claimed falsely that they were making progress when the number of people detained or encountered at the border is at its highest in 21 years.
But there’s a problem even now that Kamala has finally decided to go to the border. It’s as to where on the border she’s going, as Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) and Gov. Greg Abbott point out.
After all that, @VP isn’t even going to the right place. Here’s a map. pic.twitter.com/UpA02XLbEH

'Kamala Harris to Finally Visit Border Months after Being Tapped to Handle Migrant Crisis'
After 91 days of being Border Czar, VP Harris is not even going where the crisis is taking place!
Interesting timing…https://t.co/nWUpbsTjL8

Cornyn and Abbott’s point? Harris isn’t even going to the place where the problem is the worst — in the Rio Grande Valley (RGV).
Now that’s kind of hilarious — she still can’t even get the place where the real problem is right. But one has to wonder why she isn’t going to the RGV?
There are a few reasons why.
First, exactly because it isn’t as bad in El Paso. So when the cameras are on, it wouldn’t look as desperate a situation.
The wall also is more complete there and the border wouldn’t look as open.
But also because the folks under the gun in the RGV, who have been so battered by the crisis, wouldn’t be in El Paso to talk to the media that will be following Harris.
We’ll have to give it to these reporters who get it and exposed this move by Harris, including our Townhall brother, Julio Rosas.
Why would Harris choose to visit El Paso over other areas of the border, like RGV or Arizona?
In El Paso, she can be hosted by Rep. Veronica Escobar, who has been reliably supportive. In RGV, Laredo, AZ, Dem lawmakers have been critical of Biden admin, want more enforcement. https://t.co/EO41xISv1H

Without knowing details of trip, a big question is whether she mostly spends time with Escobar and others who endorse the admin's border policies/management, or whether she meets other figures who are upset, concerned, skeptical etc
El Paso has been less impacted than RGV, AZ

Exactly. If she went to the RGV, Harris would have to deal with and talk to Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) who would demand real answers and wouldn’t just be ameliorative.
Just last week, Rep. Cuellar sent a letter to Harris asking her to visit the border. https://t.co/JLDn3LjRg2

And yeah, it's probably no coincidence Harris is finally going right before Trump is visiting the border. Also, she's going to El Paso, which while has seen its fair share of the crisis, she avoiding the hard-hit areas like the RGV, Del Rio, Laredo, and AZ.

So while it’s funny to suggest she has no idea where she’s going, she also has a very craven reason exactly for where she’s going — to put the best possible face on the mess that she and Biden created for the media.
How much longer must America endure this piece of democrat shit? President Trump you are missed, sir. Hurry back please.
