The MIA border czar

Rapid Response

Kamala Harris hasn’t been to Del Rio, Texas. She hasn’t been to the Rio Grande Valley, the epicenter of the crisis. She hasn’t been to the border in months. But she found time to go to Audi Field for a coin flip this weekend.

She is failing so spectacularly, even the Democrat Mayor of Del Rio called her out.

The VP is able to visit the fun events across the country, while American communities continue to grapple with failed immigration reform. Where is the visit to Del Rio, TX? @potus @cnn @FoxNews @USATODAY @GovAbbott @CBSNews @NBCNews https://t.co/pt9DSwKn6p

To put the border crisis in perspective, let’s compare the numbers Customs and Border Protection has reported to the capacity of Audi Filed.

Audi Field holds 20,000 people. You could fill:

60 Audi Fields with the over 1,200,000 border encounters reported since February 1.
Almost the entire stadium with the over 18,000 unaccompanied children picked up by border patrol in August alone.
10 Audi Fields with the over 208,000 border encounters just last month.
3 Audi Fields with the over 60,000 illegal immigrants encountered in August not from Mexico or the Northern Triangle.

If Harris doesn’t care about the border, why is she still border czar? Her priorities are stunningly misplaced. Biden found time to go on vacation. She found time to go to a football game. They both have time to actually do their jobs, visit the border, and finally get local officials the resources they need.
