HOW EXCITING, DAHLINGS.  IT IS SUCH A JOY TO REPORT ON THE TRAVELS AND DINING OF KAMALA HARRIS.  WHY, SHE MAY BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT, AND IT'S OUR OBLIGATION TO GET TO KNOW HER.  FROM THE NEW YORK POST:

WASHINGTON — Vice President Kamala Harris will visit Atlanta on Friday for a Democratic Party “spring soiree” — instead of visiting the US-Mexico border in her role as migration czar as thousands of people illegally enter America after the lifting of the Title 42 COVID-19 expulsion policy.

Harris will depart Washington around noon and appear mid-afternoon at a Democratic National Committee finance event before being the guest of honor at the Democratic Party of Georgia’s Spring Soiree.

The optics of Harris attending political events instead of tending to the border crisis drew fresh condemnation from Republicans, who have accused her of not doing enough on border issues since President Biden tapped her in March 2021 to lead US efforts to reduce illegal immigration.

“Title 42 ended last night at midnight. Since then, absolute chaos has erupted at the southern border,” tweeted Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-Ga.). “Yet Joe Biden and Border Czar Kamala Harris are nowhere to be found.”

The vice president’s office did not share with The Post any specific plans for Harris to address the border rush in the coming days — with a Homeland Security intelligence analysis reported by the New York Times saying 660,000 migrants from around the world may be waiting in Mexico to cross into the US.

A White House official, however, emailed The Post a lengthy defense of the vice president.
Harris “has been engaged and regularly briefed on preparations for the end of public health emergency measures — including Title 42 — while continuing to make progress addressing the root causes of migration from Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador,” the official said.

Where is this progress?  Am I the only one who hasn't been told?

The Biden administration says illegal border crossers will be presumed ineligible for asylum and expelled after Title 42 expired at 11:59 p.m. Thursday — reflecting a tougher policy than during Biden’s first two years in office.

The administration also planned to temporarily release migrants into the US if detention capacity runs out, but that idea was blocked Thursday by a federal judge in Florida.

Two former White House officials told Reuters in March that Biden was frustrated with Harris’s performance, including her aversion to risky assignments and failure to rise “to the occasion.”

Harris took heat throughout her vice presidency for appearing reluctant to embrace her assignment to reduce illegal immigration by addressing the “root causes” in other countries.

COMMENT:  Wow, it's so good to know that she is thoroughly prepared for the presidency.  Think of "the Harris era."  Well, you'd better not think.  Why bring unwanted pain?
