NO, KAMALA HARRIS CANNOT ‘FLIP THE SCRIPT’ ON THE BORDER. You may have seen reports that Vice President Kamala Harris, currently running for president without an agenda, plans to “flip the script” on the border. “Harris tries to flip the script on Trump on the border during raucous Georgia speech,” NPR reported after the vice president’s first rally, in Atlanta, on July 30. “She tried to flip the script on one of her most vulnerable issues in this election, immigration,” reported CNN. “Harris has tried to flip the script on the Republican attacks on her immigration record,” wrote the Washington Post.
You get the idea. The Harris strategy, if it can be called that, is to find a way to avoid blame for the Biden-Harris administration’s welcoming, encouraging, and accommodating more than 10 million illegal and unvetted border crossers who have entered the United States since Harris took office. The migrants have spread into cities and towns across the country, burdening municipalities struggling to house and feed them. Some have committed horrendous crimes. Culturally, on top of the nation’s existing immigration process, it is a bad idea to let in so many unassimilated migrants so quickly, since it overwhelms the country’s ability to turn them into Americans. And most fundamentally, the border rush represents an offense against the nation’s sovereignty and the rule of law.
Large majorities of voters disapprove of the work Harris has done to make the border the disaster it has become since 2021. Approval ratings for the Biden-Harris handling of the border are routinely in the 30s and sometimes dip into the high 20s. An approval rating that low usually means a policy appeals to the core supporters of one political party and to no one else.
