Harris Laughs at the Border Crisis and Biden Cannot Handle His Man-Made Crisis

Harris reportedly frustrated with ongoing VP mansion renovations amid border crisis

The Biden administration is putting out a call for government volunteers to report for duty amid the significant surge at the border, but many are asking -- where is the person deputized to 'fix' the line in the sand crisis?

As the immigration mess at the southern border gets more and more out of hand, Vice President Kamala Harris still remains inexplicably silent.

Even after President Biden officially tapped the VP to lead in response to border challenges, there aren’t any plans for her to travel south or even address the issue. According to the Office of the Vice President, Harris had no events this past weekend and no mention of border-related activity.

This comes as the Biden-Harris administration is now asking for government volunteers to help manage the migrant surge. The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has sent memos to agency heads seeking "volunteer deployments" for up to 120 days.

"We are actively working to screen, process, and deploy these volunteers while continuing our recruitment efforts and exploration of other avenues to bolster staff resources at the border," an OPM spokesperson said.

Meanwhile, Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) blasted the Biden administration on "Hannity," describing the influx of migrants as "heartbreaking," adding he saw a massive system failure on the country’s southern border.

"I saw a giant coverup," Graham said. "I can understand why the Biden administration would not want the American people to see what’s going on. I saw 200-plus women and small children being processed in front of me that was going to be released into the United States within eight hours. I saw children with numbers on their wrists and here’s what that means: They have family members in the United States, they send money back to Central America, they hire a human smuggler, a human trafficker to get them to the U.S. border – once we catch them your tax dollars are used to reunite the families. This is not catch-and-release, this is catch and reunite."

Biden approval numbers tank over border crisis: poll

When it comes to the divisive issue of immigration and border security, President Biden's approval rating is plummeting, a new survey suggests.

Just a third of Americans say they approve of Biden's handling of the issue of immigration, with 53% saying they disapprove of his performance, an NPR/Marist poll.

While two-thirds of Democrats say they approve of how Biden has handled the issue in the first two months of his presidency, his approval rating plunges to 27% support among independents and just 5% among Republicans.

The influx of migrants across the nation's border with Mexico has jumped since Biden's inauguration on Jan. 20. Republicans have repeatedly slammed the president on the issue, blaming him for what they constantly call a "crisis."

This week the Biden administration began asking federal workers to help with "urgent efforts" to care for the surge in unaccompanied migrant children who are arriving at the southern border....
