Poor Kamala Harris. She’s been given an impossible mission by a president who wants her to fail and thus have it trim her sails a bit. She knows that, so she is ducking the duty. In an analogy my fellow veterans will understand, Harris is a Spec 4 who suddenly got a toothache rather than show up for a motor poll gig assigned by her Platoon Sergeant.

FNC: “More than 50 House Republicans are urging President Biden to remove Vice President Kamala Harris from her role dealing with the migrant crisis that has overwhelmed the southern border in recent months — accusing her of ‘inaction’ on the crisis due to her failure to visit the border. Republicans have blamed the crisis on the administration’s policies — particularly the rollback of Trump-era policies like border wall construction and the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP). The lawmakers who wrote to Biden this week said that, even if root causes are to blame, ‘the exclusive focus on Central American countries ignores the fact that we see many migrants attempting to illegally cross our southern border from countries all over the world, including Russia, Brazil, Cuba and Haiti.’ ”

“Despite being in the midst of a border crisis this country has not seen in two decades, Vice President Harris has not yet shown adequate interest in observing this crisis first-hand,” the 56 Republican lawmakers, led by Rep. Glenn Grothman, R-WI, wrote. “In the 85 days since the Vice President has been tasked with solving this crisis, she has yet to visit the border and meet with Border Patrol agents, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials and local law enforcement officials.” Basically, she’s not showing up for work and still cashing her paychecks.

“We are also aware of no dramatic changes in Central American countries over the last few months that would result in such a wide gap of encounters at the southern border compared to last year,” the Republicans say. “This country cannot afford another minute of inaction from Vice President Harris,” the members of Congress told Biden, as they futilely ask His Senile Eminence to replace Harris as the lead on the issue. “While you have publicly defended the Vice President, even you must be discouraged with her inaction.” Nah, he counts on it.
