White House: No plans for Harris to visit border despite disturbing illegal immigrant video
The White House on Monday reiterated that immigration czar Vice President Kamala Harris has no plans to visit the border — as new video shows a group of about 50 illegal immigrants overwhelming Border Patrol agents in Texas on Sunday, in the latest example of the ongoing crisis on the southern crossing.

Despite the alarming footage, White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Monday said Harris, who was appointed by President Biden to oversee the border in March, still has made no arrangements to surveil the situation in person and talk to local officials there.

“I expect she will make a trip to the Northern Triangle at some point soon. So that would be where she would travel given her purview,” Psaki said when asked during her daily briefing if the veep would go to the area.

Kamala Harris’ response to border crisis a head-scratcher: I haven’t ‘been to Europe’ either
Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday snapped at an NBC anchor when he pressed her on why she hasn’t visited the US-Mexico border in the 76 days since President Biden put her in charge of the record-smashing illegal immigration crisis — saying she hasn’t “been to Europe,” either.

“At some point, you know, we are going to the border,” a defensive Harris told NBC anchor Lester Holt on “Today” in Guatemala on her first international trip since taking office — and 1,308 miles away from the crossing.

“We’ve been to the border. So this whole thing about the border. We’ve been to the border,” Harris said, to which Holt replied, “You haven’t been to the border.”

Harris countered, “And I haven’t been to Europe. And I mean, I don’t, understand the point that you’re making. I’m not discounting the importance of the border.”

Harris’ comments come as Border Patrol continues to be overwhelmed by the crisis, which has seen the largest number of illegal immigrants cross the border this fiscal year since 2006.

Nearly 900,000 migrants were stopped by Customs and Border Protection from October 1, 2020, to May 31 of this year, according to preliminary data obtained by Axios on Monday.

VP Harris has another tense exchange as border visit pressure mounts
As President Biden visits foreign leaders in Europe, Vice President Kamala Harris cannot escape the pressure to visit the southern border amid the historic surge of illegal immigration under her watch as border czar.

In an interview with Univision on Thursday, Harris offered a tense response after being pressed by anchor Ilia Calderón on when she would finally visit the crossing amid the worsening migrant crisis.

“I’ve said I’m going to the border,” the vice president replied. “And I –“

“When are you going to the border, Vice President?” Calderón interrupted her to ask.

“I’m not finished,” Harris replied with an uncomfortable laugh, raising her finger at the host.

“I’ve said I’m going to the border. And also if we are going to deal with the problems at the border, we have to deal with the problems that cause people to go to the border, to flee to the border,” Harris went on.

“So my first trip as vice president of the United States was to go — in terms of a foreign trip — to Guatemala, to be on the ground there to address and to be informed of the root causes why are the people of Guatemala leaving.”

Kamala Harris to finally visit border amid ongoing migrant crisis
Vice President Kamala Harris will visit the border this week amid the historic surge of illegal immigration under her watch as border czar, more than three months since she was tapped for the role, according to a report.

Citing sources familiar with the trip, Politico reported Wednesday that Harris will travel to El Paso, Texas, on Friday alongside Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

Reps for Harris did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment on the trip, nor did DHS.

Harris, who visited Guatemala and Mexico earlier this month as part of her first foreign visit in office, was dogged for her entire trip by questions about going to surveil the situation at the US-Mexico border in person.

She's only going, because Trump and Abbott are going. Of course, the NY Post article downplays that by saying it's what Trump has claimed. I'll bet it's true though. She didn't have any plans whatsoever to go down there until she found out they were going. She would've mentioned it to the many who have questioned her about it, if she had.

Kamala Harris doesn’t actually visit border, says nothing of substance, leaves — it was all theater​

Kamala Harris went to the border Friday for the first time as vice president, some three months after President Joe Biden put her in charge of the ongoing (and worsening) migrant crisis.

Her visit comes on the heels of a disastrous trip to Guatemala and Mexico last month — a calculated distraction from the historic surge of illegal immigration at the southwest border, which saw more than 180,000 apprehensions in May, a record for that month, and nightmarish conditions at migrant youth detention centers across the country.

Harris was criticized by both Republicans and some Democrats from border districts last month for visiting Central America and Mexico before bothering to see for herself the crisis at the border, which was unleashed by a series of executive orders and policies Biden enacted immediately upon taking office in January.

But it doesn’t really matter where the vice president goes, or when. Her trip to El Paso, like her trip to Mexico and Guatemala, is pure theater. As soon as Harris’s plane landed, the show began. Asked on the tarmac why she decided now was the right time to make her first trip to the border as vice president, Harris repeated the awkwardly obvious lie that she has “been to the border many times,” before regurgitating the absurd talking points that she had to go to Central America first to understand the “root causes” of migration.

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem sends 50 National Guard troops to Texas to help tackle border crisis​

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem on Tuesday announced that her state is sending dozens of National Guard troops to Texas to help the Lone Star State deal with the continuing crisis at the southern border, after an appeal for help from Gov. Greg Abbott.

Noem announced that 50 South Dakota National Guard troops would be sent to Texas to secure the border between the U.S. and Mexico. Her office said the deployment will last for between 30 and 60 days, and that it will be paid for via a private donation.

"The Biden administration has failed in the most basic duty of the federal government: keeping the American people safe," Noem said in a statement announcing the deployment. "The border is a national security crisis that requires the kind of sustained response only the National Guard can provide."

Earlier this month, both Abbott and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey issued a call to other states for help to stem the crisis at the border, which has seen a massive number of migrants in recent months – with more than 180,000 encounters in May alone.
