In this episode of Try to control your shock and amazement…
The panicked urge on the left – both within the Democratic Party and in its sycophantic media – to rewrite history by claiming that Kamala Harris was not called Joe Biden’s “border czar” has reached a fever pitch.
The usual lapdog media, including CNN, MSNBC and Axios, are desperate denounce the label now that Harris has been incredulously named the Democratic Party’s likely presidential nominee.

It gets better.”
A Democratic lawmaker confirmed to FOX that Democrats received a sheet of paper with talking points/lies about how to discuss Kamala Harris’ role at the southern border. They are already using that exact language.
Is there a surprise?
Wow.

The note with their discussion points reads:
Vice President Harris was NEVER appointed “Border Czar.”
Such a position has never existed. It does not exist.
Was NOT asked to lead the administration’s immigration or border security policy.
And so on. Either way, a bit sensitive and defensive, don’t you think?
The chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, Nanette Barragán, on Thursday, joint formulation of discussion points with Fox News (emphasis mine):
Well, first of all, this is more misinformation and disinformation. The Vice President was never in charge of the border. She was never in charge of immigration policy. On the contrary: the Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, is responsible for border policy. He reports to the Department of Homeland Security.
And Republicans have already tried to impeach him and failed. So what are they doing now? They’re making something up and blaming her. Vice President Harris was in charge of addressing the root causes of migration, diplomatic efforts in other Northern Triangle countries, and specifically addressing the root causes of migration. And you wonder what she did?
It helped raise $5 billion for investment in the economies of these countries, with the private sector andWhen it started, migration from these countries was 41%. 41% of the people doing marketing came from the Northern Triangle countries. In 2023, that dropped to 21%. So don’t start spreading these false lies because we’re going to make sure they’re set right.
Nonsense – at least most of it.
Mollie Hemingway, editor in chief of The Federalist and contributor to Fox News, summed it up best.
The fact that the propaganda press is working so doggedly to cover up the fact that Kamala Harris has been put in charge of policing the border shows not only how vulnerable her role at the border is, but also how enormously vulnerable her general incompetence is.
The thing is, the propaganda media knows that their audience doesn’t give a damn about reality:

And what difference does it make what Harris was called regarding the task Biden has given him of finding out the “root causes” of allowing millions of illegal immigrants to flood across our southern border? And why should it even matter what the root causes are in the countries the soon-to-be illegal immigrants are fleeing? Just keep them the hell out of this. one.

The conclusion
Joe Biden indicated during his 2020 campaign that he would bring in as many illegal immigrants as possible. He did that – and he continues to do so. Only a fool would believe that Kamala Harris would not keep that risky ball rolling if she wins in November, regardless of what role she may or may not be credited with.
