COMMENTARY OF THE DAY

The union repping US Border agents ripped Vice President Kamala Harris Friday, claiming the presidential hopeful “ignored the border problem she created.” As they should, she's an idiot.
The fiery series of tweets came in response to a speech Harris made while visiting an Arizona border town earlier in the day, in which she vowed to crack down on the historic stream of illegal immigration. “Vice President Harris has ignored the border problem she created for over three years. She goes down there for 20 minutes for a photo op and decides to repeat some of the things the NPBC has said before. But again, where has she been the last 3 1/2 years?” the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) seethed. “VP Harris asserted in Arizona that CBP needed more resources. We have apprehended over 8 million illegal immigrants over the last 4 years and now you realize we need more help 38 days before the election.”
“Today, VP Harris claimed that she played a role in increasing Border Patrol Agent overtime pay. This couldn’t be further from the truth. As with all things border related she was no where to be found when we needed her,” the union griped. The union wasn’t the only critic of Harris’ trip to Arizona Friday — the border “czar” caught flak for apparently wearing a $62,000 Tiffany’s necklace to visit the deteriorating border. Harris went to the town of about 17,000 people and spoke about plans to fix “our broken immigration system” in a bid to make up ground on one of her most vulnerable political fronts as she’s locked in a neck-and-neck battle for the White House with Republican nominee Donald Trump, 78.
