America deserves real leadership, but instead, Kamala Harris offers only hypocrisy. At a time when our country is facing unprecedented crises—from the chaos at the southern border to the disasters hitting our communities—Harris seems more concerned with checking off a box on her political agenda than doing the real work that American citizens desperately need.
Kamala just made her first border visit in over three year, yet her conversation with Border Patrol leaders lasted less than a half hour. That’s right, the person tasked by the Biden administration with managing the border crisis, flew in for a quick photo op and then left as quickly as she arrived.
Her brief visit was nothing but political theater. She didn’t even spend time with the Border Patrol agents who have been overwhelmed by the migrant surge. Instead, she toured a carefully managed site in Douglas, Arizona, far from the chaos, before heading off to another staged appearance. Suddenly, Harris wants Americans to believe “we have a duty to set rules at our border and to enforce them.” Seriously? The Biden/Harris Administration chose to ignore existing laws and allow MILLIONS of illegal immigrants to stream across our southern border for the last 3.5 years. Talk about hypocrisy!
The same pattern repeated itself when Harris swooped back into Washington, DC on Monday to give a speech at FEMA in the middle of one of our nation’s most critical emergency response efforts. She spent less than 7 minutes reciting scripted talking points, before shaking hands with employees and taking no questions.
While Kamala Harris dodges accountability, Donald Trump has been meeting directly with Americans who have been most affected by these crises. Trump’s commitment to the people is undeniable, as he stands up for those suffering the consequences of weak leadership. From supporting law enforcement on the frontlines at the border to visiting disaster-stricken communities and offering real solutions, the former President shows up, listens, and leads.
The border policies of Kamala Harris and the Biden administration have been a disaster, leaving our southern border wide open; overwhelming Border Patrol, allowing crime to surge in communities across the country; and costing American taxpayers billions of dollars. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has been sounding the alarm for years. He warned of the consequences of weak borders, reckless policies, and ineffective leadership. Trump’s border policies worked—illegal crossings plummeted during his presidency, and our communities were safer for it.
A “check the box” border visit is not enough to fix the damage Biden and Harris have done. A speech with FEMA employees as political props won’t help families struggling to recover from the disaster of Hurricane Helene.
As we head into the final stretch of this election, it’s more important than ever that we support a nominee who is committed to putting America first. The contrast between Donald Trump’s unwavering strength and Kamala Harris’s empty gestures couldn’t be clearer. With early voting in full swing, head to the polls now to secure your vote. America needs strong leadership—not empty promises, political games, and hypocrisy. It’s time to support a leader who knows how to take decisive action and Make America Great Again: Donald Trump!
