In an effort to deal with President Joe Biden’s self-created border crisis, his designated ‘immigration czar’ Vice President Kamala Harris is now visiting Guatemala 1,000 miles south of the U.S.-Mexico border. But en route there, like President GW Bush, did during the Hurricane Katrina aftermath, Harris flew OVER the border where tens of thousands of illegal migrants are daily surging and crossing illegally.

Unlike Bush’s low-level Katrina overflight though, Harris’ plane flew at 30,000 feet. This likely didn’t give the Vice President a great view of the chaos on the ground.

As I have reported, Harris has come under criticism for not having visited the border since being appointed to her role – something critics (including myself) say is vital for her to know how to tackle the crisis.

Since Biden’s election, these migrants have been entering the U.S. illegally in unprecedented numbers, overwhelming local and federal authorities. Many unaccompanied children have been housed in cages, and thousands more have been flown across the country at taxpayer expense to alternative housing. Others have been housed at U.S. military bases.

Beyond that, as I have also reported, large numbers of single males between the ages of 18 and 30 have been identified or captured crossing illegally using military tactics and gear.

Many experts note that Biden’s reckless immigration policies, such as promising amnesty, and stopping certain enforcement and construction of border barriers, which immediately reversed former President Trump’s effective border and immigration policies, are to blame for the sudden unprecedented surge. However, Harris, who has refused to visit the border or speak with officials on the ground, is now blaming the climate, and other issues, for the illegal migrant wave.

Fox News reported that:

Vice President Kamala Harris’ staff on Sunday insisted that the “main drivers” of the migrant surge to the southern border are climate and the economy – as Harris arrived in Guatemala and after the Guatemalan president blamed the change in U.S. administrations for the crisis.

Harris spokesperson Symone Sanders told reporters that climate and the economy were among the “main drivers” of the surge in migrants that saw more than 178,000 migrants hit the border in April alone – a number that continued a spike in February and March.

Officials also emphasized the role corruption plays in forcing migrants to make the journey north.

“We see corruption as one of the most important root causes to be dealt with,” special envoy Richard Zuniga said.

Yet, even if many of these are factors in illegal migration north to the United States, Central American leaders disagree with Biden-Harris on the bigger causes. On Sunday, Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei said he and Harris “are not on the same side of the coin” on the issue and blamed what he saw as a more welcoming message to migrants by the new administration for the surge. He told CBS News:

The message changed too: ‘We’re going to reunite families, we’re going to reunite children.’ The very next day, the coyotes were here organizing groups of children to take them to the United States. We asked the United States government to send more of a clear message to prevent more people from leaving.

My earlier reports of large groups of illegal migrants wearing t-shirts with the Biden election logo and words “PLEASE LET US IN” beneath it, would support the Guatemalan president’s assessment. Perhaps Harris can actually land at the border on her way home to see for herself.

        1. But, they’re all WOMEN!!

          According to the Jewish Media, “Vwimmin” should be in charge of the Vwoild. They know everything. Men should be washing dishes and doing the laundry. The government needs to keep passing more and more laws to promote female leadership, legislate female specific Constitutional Amendments, Construct Female Educational Courses and enforce Lesbian Rights. The fatal blow just inflicted upon women by the Supreme Court (Jews, naturally…) DEPRIVED women of the RIGHT to be conscripted into combat roles via a Female Draft! Such a Double Standard for the obvious advantages given to men, who are so privileged to be able to have those notices sent to their homes!! Just ask all of those Venezuelan Women (Their leaders were, and ARE, Jewish..) about how they were ‘liberated’ and recognized as being “EQUALS” to men. You might catch those women when they’re not chasing stray dogs for meals.

    1. C’mon! Stupidest woman alive? You positively must consider AOC or Maxine Waters. In fact, I can think of a DOZEN idiotic liberal types who are neck- in- neck for the title.

      1. When are they going to begin ranking them in order of Stupidity and how can We the People Stop paying them for their “Governmental Occupation” that’s the real Insurrection that needs Investigation!

  1. She is so out of her league. She is clearly NOT ready for prime time. She should have kept her Senate seat. She was able to hide her incompetence in that role.

  2. What the hell man, msm when will you “journalist’s” START TELLING THE TRUTH?? biden FORGETS D-DAY ANNIVERSARY, harris still avoiding their border CRISIS!! And she, amongst other’s are saying border crisis is because of the climate change??? WHAT’S WRONG WITH THESE LOSERS IN GOV’T?? THEY HAVE TO GO, BY ANYWAY POSSIBLE AND NOW!!!

  3. Just unbelievable. The snowflake queen.
    (Now ABC news deleted my use of the word snowflake.)

  4. The PeePad & KneePad Administration tilting at their favorite windmill once again.
    The whole world knows that Slo Jo Phucked up, and this theater of Root causes like climate change made Greta Thundumb gay for Kamalnose

  5. Harris is a typical modern Democrat – lying at the drop of a hat and solely interested in unlimited political power at the expense of American lives and fortunes. The modern Democrat Party is more closely related to the modern Communist Party than the historical Democrat Party of the 1960’s, 1950’s, and 1940’s. The “historical” and the modern versions could not be more different, and their effects on the American society could not be more different. Modern Democrats are morally evil – to the core. They should NOT be part of American life.

  6. Well, I blame climate change for ‘Giggles’ Harris. Her mother bathed her too hot as a baby and now she suffered irreversible brain damage.

  7. What Musical score will the Donkey people apply to the “Blame Game” probably some repetitive thing, since they constantly keep blaming others for their Shortcomings and Ignorance!
    I can’t recall who said it but it makes sense, “Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is the definition of Insanity” I would just add ”Stupidity”

  8. So Kackling Kamala flies over the border at 30,000 feet. She hasn’t even visited the border in the 76 days since Mr. Biden put her in charge of the border situation (she still refuses to call it a crisis). She claims the “root cause” of the problem is that we aren’t giving these countries enough money and wants to give them billions more on top of the billions we are already giving them. When asked why she hasn’t gone to the border personally, she laughingly told Lester Holt that she hasn’t been to Europe either. Even the president of Guatemala says that the problem is our border control policy. Rep. Cuellar (D) of Texas says that we are being overwhelmed by the flux of illegals and the administrative is doing nothing to address the issue. When will the fools that voted for this incompetent tandem wake up and realize that they can’t handle their jobs?

  10. They leave Guatemala because they believe they would be better off in the US, AND that they will be allowed into the US.
    The first isn’t going to change as long as the second doesn’t change.
