    Not what anyone claimed. She was in charge of diplomatic efforts to address the nations that where migrants were coming from. That is what Biden said, and what she did. She also spoke about the border as part of the administration, but it was clear what Biden tasked her with. It was never a border Czar situation. There was no need to push back on that until the Republicans attempted to make an issue out of it.

    This effort is intentionally misleading by the Republicans and the kind of muddying of the waters that politics on both sides should do less.

    Well, that is funny.

    Republican congressmen drafting a resolution calling her the "border czar" somehow proves that she is the "border czar".

    Imagine a Democratic congressmen drafting a resolution calling Trump "Santa Claus", and then that would be proof he’s "Santa Claus"

    One of the ways Kamala actually did address the root causes of immigration in her diplomatic roll was to encourage private investment.

    FACT SHEET: Vice President Harris Launches a Call to Action to the Private Sector to Deepen Investment in the Northern Triangle
    https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing...o-deepen-investment-in-the-northern-triangle/

    It was at least partially successful

    2023 Investment Climate Statements: Mexico
    The United States is Mexico’s top source of foreign direct investment (FDI) with a stock of USD 207 billion (2021 per the International Monetary Fund’s Coordinated Direct Investment Survey, table 3).

    The Mexican economy averaged 2.1 percent growth in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) from 1994 to 2022 and recovered to pre-pandemic levels in 2022, growing 3.1 percent. Exports to the United States grew 16.9 percent thanks to the U.S. economic recovery.

    Mexico
    Poverty in Mexico decreased from 37.6% in 2016 to 28.6% in 2022, remaining above the Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) average of 24.1%. Similarly, extreme poverty fell from 8.4% in 2016 to 6.2% in 2022, below the LAC average (8.3%). The Gini index decreased from 47.7 in 2016 to 45.4 in 2020, above the LAC average (44.8). Regarding investment and production transformation indicators, total investment in Mexico was at 21.2% in 2022, similar to the LAC average of 21.3% over the same period. Private investment represented 15.0% of GDP in 2019, slightly below the LAC average (15.8% of GDP). Mexico’s labour productivity, measured against output per employed person in the United States, decreased from 38.2% in 2016 to 32.7% in 2023 yet remains above the LAC average of 27.1% in 2023. The share of exports of high-tech products in total exported manufactured goods represented close to 20% in 2021, substantially above the LAC average (7.2%). Positive perceptions of foreign direct investment (FDI), which declined across the LAC region, fell from 59.3% in 2016 to 54.3% in 2020. In contrast to a decline in the LAC average, tax revenue in Mexico increased slightly from 16.6% to 16.7% of GDP. Environment-related tax revenues decreased from 1.6% of GDP in 2016 to 1.0% in 2021 but are still slightly above the LAC average (0.9% of GDP in 2021).

    Mexico’s economic momentum continues; outlook improves
    Domestic investment growth accelerates in 2023 Private investment has been on an upward trend since the end of the pandemic,

    As San Francisco District Attorney, Kamala Harris’s Office Stopped Cooperating With Victims of Catholic Church Child Abuse
    When Kamala Harris took over as San Francisco district attorney in 2004, her office ended cooperation with Catholic Church sex abuse victims.



    In her seven years as district attorney, Harris’s office did not proactively assist in civil cases against clergy sex abuse and ignored requests by activists and survivors to access the cache of investigative files that could have helped them secure justice, according to several victims of clergy sex abuse living in California who spoke to The Intercept.

    “It went from Terence Hallinan going hundred miles an hour, full speed ahead, after the Catholic Church to Kamala Harris doing absolutely nothing and taking it backwards hundred miles an hour,” said Joey Piscitelli, a sexual assault survivor, who a jury found had been molested as a student while attending Salesian College Preparatory, a Catholic high school in Richmond, California.

    Speaking of a little slow, or perhaps just uneducated, learn to write in complete sentences, clown. Calling everyone a MAGAt, even if they aren’t, is a character flaw on your end. I, for sure, am not a maga supporter by any means, yet you immediately resort to that.. lol.. That’s all you got when you’re too inept to say something of substance.

    The problem with magat is that if posters bothers to say something of substance it would go over their head regardless.
    Man could literally type a paragraph about jan 6 with video/photo evidence and magat would still deny it even happened.

    Uneducated magats tend to do that deny reality and just copy pasta twitter posts that click with them.

    529 plans are some of the most abused plans in the world, people hide money in them with no intention of ever using it for college, and it can be transferred to someone else - later so it never has to come out - it is a giant loop hole that is exploited by many.

    BTW - thanks for proving that all the GOP has is people concerned with their own pockets - selfishness personified.

    A rising tide lifts all boats.......

    BTW - Medicare for all saves money for Americans.

    I don’t disagree with that at all and I surely don’t do that. Let’s be real, there are those people on both sides and the left that does the same thing is no different than the right.

    Having said that, when a clown like @Reeko can only call someone a magat because they have nothing of substance to say, what’s the difference between two?
