Yeah, Right: After Border Debacle, Biden Picks Kamala To Push ‘Voting Rights Reform’
I & I Editorial Board
June 3, 2021
You have to hand it to her: Vice President Kamala Harris has a knack for having her career advanced by others, despite continual abysmal performance as a public official. Unfair, you say? How else can you describe someone who fails so badly at one job, and then is immediately rewarded with another job of even greater importance?
There are lots of definitions out there for “failing upward” but probably the best comes from the “Simplicable” website, which calls it “a common feature of cronyism” in which members of a “social group continue to promote and reward each other despite an ongoing string of failures.”
Could anything better describe Harris’ political career, especially her latest turn as President Joe Biden’s “immigration czar”?
The most polite thing you can say about Harris’ so-far brief tenure as border czar is that she’s done little to make things worse. That’s largely because she’s a political cipher, picked precisely because she wouldn’t do a thing to stop illegal immigrants from crossing our borders.
That takes the heat off of Biden, whose early moves undid President Donald Trump’s smart, humane policy (which led to an enormous decline in both illegal contraband and border crossings), and replaced it with the Democrats’ dangerous, divisive open-border policy.
Harris is plainly incapable of doing the job. And that’s the point.
How else could you describe someone who claims that “climate adaptation” in Latin America is key to ending the U.S. border crisis?
