Hasn't even visited it yet or said anything about how she's going to fix it.
Anybody else think she's in over her head and just doesn't know what to do?
"There are a lot of things wrong with this analysis, starting with the data, which does not, in fact, show a dramatic surge in new migrants. As The Washington Post points out in a year-to-year review of Border Patrol statistics, migration from Central America is seasonal, and spring reliably coincides with a spike. Setting aside 2020—an outlier year because of the pandemic—previous years show migration “surges” looks very similar every spring. In fact, in 2019, under the Trump Administration, there was a bigger jump in apprehensions from January to February 2019—31 percent—than the “surge” of 28 percent from January to February 2021 that is currently making so much news.

@no1marauder saidThere are 4200 people in a facility meant for 250 and you say there's no crisis?
There is no "border crisis":
"
There are 700+ in pods meant for 80 people and you say there's no crisis?
Small towns across America are getting busloads of people dropped off in the middle of town with no facilities or food for them and mayors are screaming for help because there's no place to put them and you say there's no crisis?
@dood111 saidAll ridiculous exaggerations.

The US has certainly done a crappy job at the border for decades but the stats show that this "crisis" is a regular feature of our immigration policy and has been for a long time.
@no1marauder saidYour take?? ......Unbelievable, Marauder. Libs truly have no idea, not only what is going on, but what is about to 'go on', and I ain't speaking just about the border.

@averagejoe1 saidThis chart of monthly apprehensions at the border show it has been increasing for more than a year but has not reached the high point under Trump nor levels reached routinely under GW. https://graphics.reuters.com/USA-IMMIGRATION/BORDER/xklpyoalapg/

@dood111 saidTrump put Pence in charge of his coronavirus tax force, despite having zero experience in medicine or anything related to a pandemic. No complaints from conservatives.

Anytime someone becomes president (or VP) they are usually in over their heads at the beginning. The nature of the job includes tackling issues most presidents would've never faced otherwise. Let's see what Kamala does.

@vivify saidIT'S VIDEO OF HARRIS BLABBERING ABOUT HOW SHE WILL IMMEDIATELY FIX THINGS AT THE BORDER IF SHE IS ELECTED .

Are you saying it's been doctored somehow?
You do know that THAT video was posted BY Kamala Harris on HER FB page, right?

@dood111 saidYou're complaining that Kamala Harris (who BTW, is VP, no Pres) hasn't done enough in the 2 whole months she's been in office; two months, which by the way, were spent trying to save the U.S. from a pandemic?

Calm down, buddy. You're frothing at the mouth to attack a Dem should at least wait until they've had time to do something.
