Trump’s Alleged Sabotage of Border Security
Vice President Kamala Harris has pointed the finger at former President Donald Trump for the ongoing border crisis – and it’s one big, fat lie.
During a recent interview, Harris claimed that Trump deliberately derailed a bipartisan immigration and border bill that could have significantly improved border security. This revelation has sparked intense debate about the true motives behind immigration policies and their impact on national security. But people know she’s lying, no matter how many times she repeats it. She was, after all, the Border Czar who oversaw the biggest influx of illegal aliens into the United States in history.
Take a look:
According to Harris, the bill in question was designed to address critical border security issues. It proposed hiring 1,500 additional border agents and aimed to reduce the flow of fentanyl into the United States. Furthermore, the legislation would have provided more resources to prosecute transnational criminal organizations involved in trafficking guns, drugs, and humans. These measures, if implemented, could have significantly strengthened our border defenses and public safety.

But they weren’t the only measures in the bill. As Democrats always do, the bill was packed full of other initiatives that Republicans just could not get behind.
Harris’s Accusations and Trump’s Alleged Motives
The Vice President didn’t mince words when describing Trump’s actions. She stated, “Donald Trump got on the phone, called up some folks in Congress and said, ‘Kill the bill.'” Harris went on to explain her view of Trump’s motivation: “You know why? Because he’d prefer to run on a problem instead of fixing a problem.”
“That bill would have put more resources to allow us to prosecute transnational criminal organizations for trafficking in guns, drugs and human beings, but you know what happened to that bill? Donald Trump got on the phone, called up some folks in Congress and said, ‘Kill the bill,'” Harris claimed.
The gall…
The truth – the actual truth – is that the bill contained funding for Ukraine and would have implemented a pathway to citizenship for millions of people who have no right to be here. But Harris is counting on you not knowing that.
