Throughout the Democratic National Convention, Kamala Harris and other party operatives have attempted to rewrite history to paint the presidential nominee as an agent of positive change instead of a holdover from the failed Biden administration.
Plenty of dutiful operatives within the mainstream media have been following similar marching orders, but individuals like Donald Trump’s running mate JD Vance are doing their best to hold them accountable.
Such an exchange recently played out between Vance and “Meet The Press” host Kristen Welker.
According to the Daily Wire:
“Well, I think the 25 million are the people that should’ve been deported that maybe weren’t deported, plus you add another 12 to 15 million that have come in since Kamala Harris. Look, whatever the number is —” Vance tried again.
“DHS disputes that number, for the record. They say it’s closer to eight to ten million, but please continue,” Welker repeated her objection.
“Fair, but I think there are reasons to think that DHS is underestimating. Whatever the number is, it’s way too high, right?” Vance said of the ongoing crisis. “It’s millions upon millions of illegal immigrants that have come in just since Kamala became border czar a few years ago. The first thing —”
“She was put in charge of the root causes of migration,” Welker interrupted.
“Well, the root cause of migration, I would say, Kristen, is that Kamala Harris refuses to do her job as Border Czar,” Vance shot back.
Leftists have tried their best to erase Harris’ role as Biden’s de facto border czar from the collective memory since she was chosen to replace the president at the top of November’s ticket.
Holy Sh*t Trump just brought the National Border Patrol Council President on stage and he RIPPED ‘border czar’ Kamala Harris

She can pretend she wasn’t the border czar (she was), pretend she didn’t support bailing out rioters (she did), but she can’t erase a video supporting “Defund the Police.” Americans in every major city live in fear of rampant crime because of leftist nut jobs like Kamala Harris. https://t.co/wWHp1KHKWC

House Homeland Security Chairman Mark Green (R-TN) recently penned an op-ed eviscerating Harris’ record on the border.
As the committee reported:
On her watch, Customs and Border Protection has recorded approximately 10 million illegal immigrant encounters nationwide, and more than 8 million encounters at the Southwest border.
Additionally, roughly 2 million known gotaways have evaded Border Patrol agents since fiscal year 2021. Encounters at official ports of entry have exploded, from just under 20,000 in January 2021 to more than 117,000 in June 2024.
From fiscal year 2021 through mid-July 2024, the Border Patrol had recorded 52,058 arrests of illegal aliens with criminal backgrounds, compared to 21,936 between fiscal years 2017 to 2020
Apprehensions between ports of entry of individuals on the terrorist watchlist have increased from just 14 in the previous three-year period to 380 since fiscal year 2021.
These numbers are not surprising considering Harris’ past anti-enforcement advocacy. In 2015, she declared “[a]n undocumented immigrant is not a criminal.”
Here’s a clip from Vance’s interview with Welker:
