BRETT: “Border Crisis Torches Kamala Harris\u2019 Presidential Prospects.” This is a piece running in The Hill from Liz Peek, whose an opinion contributor, and Liz Peek — who many of you know from appearances on Fox and Fox Business and other channels like that. Liz Peek says in this column, starting it out this way: “The odds of Kamala Harris ever being elected president are shrinking faster than a Creamsicle in August.<\/p>\n

“As she likely anticipated, tying her to the border disaster was almost sure to be a losing proposition for the vice president.” We all know what\u2019s happening. We\u2019ll be getting new numbers for April crossings just in the next day or so, so we\u2019ll find out what\u2019s going on. Remember, it started out with 70,000 crossing in February, and then it was 160,000 who crossed the border in March.<\/p>\n

Now we\u2019re gonna get those April numbers, and I guarantee you those numbers are gonna be through the roof. These could easily, easily be north of 300,000 migrants coming up from Central America — and every one of them brought to auxiliaries border by the executive order signed on day one of the administration by one Joseph R. Biden, president of the United States.<\/p>\n

\"\"I mean, they came up pre-prepared with the Biden T-shirts. They had the Biden T-shirts and they had the signs preprinted that said, “Biden, Let Us In!” So what happens? Once this crisis gets underway, you have a situation in which the Biden inner circle decides, “We\u2019re gonna give Kamala Harris the border. We\u2019re gonna give her the border as her portfolio.”<\/p>\n

Liz Peek writes, “Saddling her with the border fiasco not only put her at risk politically (and especially in a toss-up border state like Arizona) but added insult to injury, since her boss denied her the job she reportedly wanted.” What was that job? “[O]verseeing the monster $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan. After all, she apparently argued, managing the $800 billion stimulus plan is what then-Vice President Biden did in 2009 for President Obama.<\/p>\n

“Why didn\u2019t she get to star in the Greatest Democratic Giveaway of all time? Imagine the glory of handing out,” this is Liz Peek, “$123 billion to K-12 schools (aka the teacher unions), no strings attached, or sending tens of millions of dollars to ‘environmental justice grants,\u2019 which will surely be guided by wildly discretionary assessments, or $362 billion to fiscally parched cities and states, all of which will come knocking on [her] door?<\/p>\n

“Imagine being on the giving end of $1,400 checks going to 85% of all Americans, employed or unemployed. That, ladies and gentlemen, is a dream job.” Now she\u2019s in charge of chaos at the border. She hasn\u2019t gone to the border. She won\u2019t go to the border. She says now — because it\u2019s been cosigned last night by President Biden — that she\u2019s gonna do “diplomacy” at the border instead.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s in charge of “border diplomacy” now. Not the border, border diplomacy. Meaning she\u2019s gonna get to meet with leaders of other countries — Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras. She had a conversation with the president of Mexico, Lopez Obrador (they call him AMLO) to talk about planting trees (laughs) to help fight climate change. I mean, it\u2019s really incredible, but this thing doesn\u2019t turn out well.<\/p>\n

\"\"This doesn\u2019t turn out well at all for Kamala Harris because the damage is done. She will forever be tied to this. If she decides she wants to go out and run on her own, she\u2019s gonna have to face the uncomfortable questions from the press. Oh, who am I kidding. The press isn\u2019t gonna ask her any uncomfortable questions.<\/p>\n

But she\u2019s gonna be asked the uncomfortable questions along those border states, because as the polling indicates where Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are most underwater when it comes to Hispanic voters — to Latino and Hispanic voters — it\u2019s border security. They don\u2019t like seeing this influx of people coming in to the country, and then you have the administration being sneaky about where they\u2019re putting them.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re putting them on buses. They\u2019re putting them on planes. They\u2019re sending them into the interior of the United States, and how many are bringing covid? All of that will be pointed right back to the vice president of the United States. She wanted to be in the money-distribution business. Instead, she\u2019s gonna be in the border-blame business, on the receiving end.<\/p>\n

Rush talked about how it was Trump was quietly winning big at the border when he was president.<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: From the RCP Issues & Insights website, editorial board. “Trump Is Quietly Winning Big at the Border,” and it\u2019s true. I don\u2019t know if you\u2019ve noticed with so many other things going on, but have you seen there aren\u2019t any caravans?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>There aren\u2019t any massive numbers anymore of people traveling from El Salvador and Guatemala up to Mexico demanding asylum, demanding amnesty, demanding to be educated. They\u2019re just down. The caravans didn\u2019t work, and I\u2019m certain they were put-up jobs. They were bought and paid for by Democrat donors. I have no doubt about this. But the administration has been very quiet in beating its chest over this success, because the number of people trying to get into the country illegally is way, way down — and it\u2019s fascinating because Trump made a big deal out of building the wall.<\/p>\n

Mexico was gonna pay for the wall. But there was gonna be a wall. Well, there isn\u2019t a wall, and yet there may as well be one. There may as well be a virtual wall because something is preventing massive illegal immigration. It has really dipped. So the Democrats blocked Trump from doing the wall. He finds a work-around that\u2019s probably more effective and costs less, and it\u2019s called enforcing the law.<\/p>\n

The one thing people do not understand about those of us who oppose illegal immigration is that it has nothing to do with race, it has nothing to do with skin color, it has nothing to do with economics, nothing whatsoever to do with any of that. It has to do with two things, maybe three. One, the rule of law. It\u2019s simply illegal.<\/p>\n

Well, the second thing is the damage to the culture. There is no assimilation on the part of most people coming into the country illegally. As such, it represents an assault on a distinct and unique American culture, which is fundamentally responsible for America\u2019s status in the world and the greatness of the American experiment, the American standard of living, American lifestyles.<\/p>\n
