Corporate media outlets are claiming that Vice President Kamala Harris was never in charge of the southern border, despite labeling her Joe Biden’s “border czar” repeatedly.

In an article published July 24, Axios blames Donald J. Trump’s campaign for tagging Harris with the title “border czar.” On X, however, users noticed that Axios themselves referred to Harris as a “border czar” on at least three occasions in 2021, when Biden gave her special responsibility for illegal immigration.

In one April 2021 article—by the same —Axios stated, “The number of unaccompanied minors crossing the border has reached crisis levels. Harris, appointed by Biden as border czar, said she would be looking at the ‘root causes’ that drive migration.”

Other media outlets, including the BBC, have also referred to Harris as a “border czar.” Many see her as to blame for the ongoing border crisis, as Biden did put her in charge of migration from Central America.

She and her media allies have indeed tried to decouple her from the border since almost the moment Biden put her in charge of bringing down illegal immigration. Harris herself rebuked Biden for saying she was in charge of the immigration at a Congressional Black Caucus meeting, according to a book by New York Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns, insisting she was only responsible for the “Northern Triangle” of Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador. However, she has failed to control immigration from—and even through—these three countries.

The book says she frequently clashed with Biden and his “white inner circle,” which found her “fixat[ion] on real and perceived snubs… tedious.” The two now claim they “love” each other.

KAMALA’S ALBATROSS. 

The border connection is a major liability for Harris as she heads towards the November election, considering the government’s disastrous record of letting in millions of illegals into the United States.

The immigrant population has surged to over 46 million overall under the Biden-Harris regime, increasing dramatically since former President Trump left office.

Earlier this year, the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) revealed that half of the immigrants who arrived both illegally and legally over the last two years are unemployed, undercutting arguments that migrants are needed to take jobs Americans will not do.

Earlier this week, Republican Congressman Andy Ogles introduced articles of impeachment against the Vice President, specifically citing her failure to manage the border.

AXIOS BACKPEDDLES. 

Since Axios attempted to obfuscate Harris’s role in immigration and border security policy, the publication has added an editor’s note to its story stating: “This article has been updated and clarified to note that Axios was among the news outlets that incorrectly labeled Harris a ‘border czar’ back in 2021.”
