Vice President Kamala Harris has been wearing the title of “border czar” since President Biden decided she would be the go-to gal for managing the southern border crisis. Fast-forward to now, and though her allies in the media and Congress are scrambling to convince everyone that she was never really in charge, the truth couldn’t be clearer: the border is as chaotic as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs.
While progressive friends may be trying to rewrite history, former President Trump isn’t pulling any punches. He recently pointed an accusing finger at Harris regarding the tragic murder of Laken Riley, a college student who fell victim to an illegal migrant during their administration. At a rally in Georgia, Trump passionately laid blame squarely on Harris, taking the opportunity to remind everyone of her dismal record on border security — or should it be termed “border insecurity” given the current state of affairs?
Trump argued that the chaos allowed a violent criminal to stroll right into the country unhindered, and he didn’t mince words about it. His rally crowd was electrified as he declared that Harris had effectively opened the door to the “savage monster” who ended Riley’s young life. Such dramatic imagery paints a vivid picture of the consequences of the border policies Harris has perpetuated, leaving little room for denial about her level of culpability.
The allegations against Harris aren’t simply rhetoric, they come wrapped in a tragic tale. Laken Riley, who was just jogging on her campus, met a horrific fate at the hands of a 26-year-old illegal immigrant from Venezuela. Jose Ibarra, her killer, had crossed the border illegally in September 2022 and was, ironically, released after barely a day in custody. It’s a headline that’s too painful to ignore and underscores the glaring failures at the border that have persisted under Harris’s watch.
On social media, a chorus of voices echoed Trump’s sentiments, asserting that Harris should trade in her campaign trail for a “beg-for-forgiveness” tour, especially from Riley’s grieving family. Critics took to platforms like X to express their outrage, noting that while Harris seeks votes, she ought to confront the very real blood on her hands. The left may be quick to dismiss such claims, but America is increasingly asking who is really responsible for the fallout of failed border policies. In the eyes of many, the answer is a resounding “Kamala Harris.”
