A recent report from Immigration and Customs Enforcement has shed light on the sheer number of individuals with criminal records who have entered the country, coinciding with Vice President Kamala Harris’ visit to the southern border. The data reveals a staggering influx of hundreds of thousands of criminals, including tens of thousands of individuals convicted of violent crimes such as rape and murder, now residing in the US.
Critics argue that Harris’ trip to the border was ill-timed, given the administration’s handling of the migrant crisis. Many see this visit as an attempt to deflect criticism and create a false narrative of toughness on border security. CNN commentator Scott Jennings likened Harris’ visit to an “arsonist returning to the scene of the crime,” suggesting that her actions have only served to highlight the shortcomings of the administration’s border policies.
The trip has been widely seen as a publicity stunt, with many questioning the sincerity of Harris’ commitment to addressing the border crisis. Political analysts point out that Democrats have historically relied on the support of immigrant communities to expand their voter base, which could be a factor in their reluctance to take a harder stance on border security.
