They BOTH went to Atlanta in order to dishonestly portray the asian massage parlor shootings as "white supremacy".

What did that accomplish?

Democrats LOVE emotional photo ops though. Remember AOC crying in all white at the border when it was fashionable?

She ran a pathetic campaign & couldn't even win her home state's primary, yet the despicable DNC told Senile Joe to pick her as VP.
Truer words were never said......worse VP pick in history.

It would not surprise me if Harris showed up at one of those cages on the border, then asked a silly question by one of the censorship crazy news outlets, for example, what kind of ice cream she prefers, and then she proceeds to giggle. No mention of Ms. Giggles giggling on these major corporate owned censorship mills but on YouTube instead.

Hypocrites. If Bush or Trump had not gone to areas in the US where we had a crisis, the haters on your side vilified the men. However, Biden can create a crisis and not bother going to the areas impacted , and you don't freaking care. Some reason, the dems are fine with their party's leaders being ignorant of what's going on, and it's ok if they hide out in a protective bubble.


I don't give a crap about your lame excuse making for Biden, the crisis at the border, and in these massively overcrowded detention facilities requires Biden to see for himself, so he won't ignorantly claim "there is no crisis."

To show concern about the problem. No matter how this is spun, it gives gives the impression that they don't care and want this to continue. These people are supposed to be responsible leaders who are answerable to the people.

Exactly. This is why presidents go to cities that were ravaged by a natural disaster, or visit the troops in a war zone that they were sent to. Leaders need to lead, and showing the people that they are visiting the areas where a national crisis has occurred, or visiting the troops they send to war, at a minimum, it gives people the impression that the man they elected to lead the nation is keeping themselves informed and involving themselves in the affairs which impact the nation.


We do not elect a president if all they are going to do is hide out in the bunker, and rely on judgement and second hand opinions of unlected aides and staffers. We want the president to involve himself and see for himself first hand, when it comes to the major concerns to the people and the nation. We elected Biden for his judgement, and his opinions, not to regurgitate the opinions of staffers and partisan hack activists with unknown agendas. If this were president Trump, the same people would be demanding Trump get his ass down to the border and see for himself what awful conditions exist there.

By 12/31/2020, 450 miles of wall had been built. Of this 400 miles was rebuilding where previous wall was erected in 2007- 2011. Apparently the useful life of the wall is 13 years+/-

Only 50 miles of new wall has been erected. And Mexico is not paying for an inch of it.

In June, 2020 Customs and Border Protection disclosed the wall was not achieving goals. People were scaling it and burrowing under and though it.


You keep repeating that claim - yet there are tons of interviews by Border Patrol stating how much the wall has helped slow the invasion. The areas that had to be beefed up were falling down - it made sense to rebuild the wall in places where insufficient fencing was before breaking new ground.

President Kamala and China Joe suck at their jobs....nothing can be done about it until 2024 or 2022 if Republicans win the House and Senate.
