It's worth noting that Harris was never put in charge of the border or appointed "border czar"; she was tasked to lead a diplomatic effort to reduce immigration from the "Northern Triangle" of Central America...and it worked.Immigration from those countries has dropped by more than 2/3s since she took on that task.

I'm really hoping this is a sign they're gonna take control of the narrative on the border. Trump voters should know that border crossings are down, and that Republicans nuked the border security bill at his request, explicitly so that he could run on a border narrative.
what happened to all the trump voters who volunteered to go build--The Wall-- for free, once mexico said, shockingly that they weren't going to pay for it?
T-minus before tRump is standing in front of random dudes in cowboy hats in front of his monstrosity of a wall.
I'm just nervous now that Kennedy is on the ballot in Arizona and I believe another swing state. I'm not entirely convinced that only Trump will be affected and with every goddamn election being like .00000006% difference between the two anything could make us lose...
