Vice President Kamala Harris, the White House’s point person on the migrant crisis at the southern border, has gone 86 days without visiting the region and the situation on the ground does not appear to be improving.
Texas Border Patrol agents busted yet another human smuggling operation, this time involving 33 illegal immigrants packed inside a 100-degree U-Haul van with zero ventilation. U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents made the discovery over the weekend outside a McDonald’s restaurant in the west Texas town of Van Horn.
“Had our heroic agents not been able to free these trapped undocumented migrants, we could have seen 33 miserable deaths in this event,” Border Patrol’s Big Bend Sector Chief Sean McGoffin told KVIA. “Smugglers do not care what type of misery they put people through as they take their money.”Harris’ critics say that it is clear why she wants to avoid the border. The migrant issue is not easy to solve. If she becomes the administration’s face of the crisis– and it carries on Biden’s entire term– she will have failed her most important task.
