Kamala Harris’ office stated ignorance of how volunteers, corporate sponsors chose her book for migrant kids

Vice President Kamala Harris may not be going to the border to greet migrant children, but a children’s book she wrote in 2019 is. 

Harris’ children’s book Superheroes Are Everywhere is included in welcome packs for migrant children arriving at the Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center, a recently converted influx facility, along with basic hygiene supplies and clothing, photographs show. 

A White House official told Fox News Harris wasn’t aware of the welcome packs, and that these kinds of efforts are usually organized by members of the community.

Harris: Visiting border isn’t my job; veep says she’s focused on ‘root causes’ instead

Vice President Kamala Harris said Wednesday she has no plans to visit the U.S. southern border, but she’s looking forward to a trip soon to Mexico and Guatemala to address the core causes of surging migration from Central America.

She also cautioned that her work isn’t likely to show noticeable results anytime soon.

“It will take some time to see the benefits of that work,” Ms. Harris said. “These are not issues that are going to be addressed overnight in terms of the root causes.”

After Kamala Caught At Bakery, Not Border – She Sends Her Lackey Down South, DHS Secretary Mayorkas

Kamala Harris is supposedly the vice president. Yet she seems more like a talentless spokesperson for the administration.

Instead of doing the job Biden tapped her to do, fixing the border crisis, she’s popping up at photo ops to promote Biden’s plans.

Recently, she was spotted at a Chicago bakery. Even the media questioned the fact she has refused to visit the border.

Biden To Reopen A Detention Facility Kamala Harris Protested Against.

Biden is facing major backlash from immigration activists as he weighs reopening a controversial migrant detention center in Florida.

Federal agencies are scrambling to expand capacity at detention facilities for unaccompanied minors who illegally cross the southern border, and one of those facilities may include the defunct Homestead Detention Center in Miami-Dade County, now called Biscayne Influx Care Facility.

In 2019, activist group WeCount published a report indicating that the Homestead detention center sits in close proximity to sites of hazardous chemical waste which are listed in the federal government’s toxic-waste cleanup program, Superfund. Amnesty USA called use of the facility “cruel and unlawful.”

That summer, more than a dozen Democratic presidential hopefuls visited Homestead to register their denunciation of the facility and pose for photos, including Eric Swalwell, Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar, Bill de Blasio, Bernie Sanders, Beto O’Rourke (who shouted in Spanish “We see you! We love you! We are here with you!”), Pete Buttigieg, Julián Castro, Kirsten Gillibrand, John Hickenlooper, Marianne Williamson, Tulsi Gabbard, and Vice President Kamala Harris.

“I will tell you, when elected, the first thing I’m going to do—one of the first things—is to shut down these private detention facilities. Just shut ’em down,” Harris said.

Biden skipped the photo op.

The privately-run Homestead center was shut down in August 2019 following reports that it had no hurricane preparedness plan. It was later revealed as well that staff were not vetted for prior child abuse records.

Dodging Blatant Border Crisis, VP Harris Reportedly Stewing Over Setbacks to her Mansion Renovations

President Joe Biden has tapped “the most qualified person” for the job – Vice President Kamala Harris – to lead talks with Mexico and other countries on the migrant surge issue, while himself previously telling journalists that he plans to visit the southern US border “at some point”.

As President Joe Biden has deputized Kamala Harris to lead the efforts to resolve the migrant surge “challenge” on the southern US border with Mexico, the Vice President has remained curiously silent on the matter, reported Fox News.

In fact, the only tangible response on the extremely volatile developments so far from Harris has been to laugh out loud when asked whether she planned to visit the southern border.

As photos of people sleeping on the ground in crammed ‘pods’ at border facilities emerged online, Harris spoke to reporters at a Florida airport before going on the “Help is Here” tour of the nation on Monday.

Questioned regarding her timeline for visiting the overwhelmed migrant processing facilities, Harris quipped, “Not today!” before laughing loudly. “But I have before, and I’m sure I will again”, she added.
