Harris' defenders are reminding us she is not and never was the border czar. Biden tasked her with attacking root causes (the push factor) of migration from Central (and South?) America. She flew down there are few times, held some meetings, arranged for $5B in private equity pledges to provide jobs and opportunity in their local economies. She must have done a good job and solved the problem because we never heard another word about it until now but only as a reminder the Border is "not my job".

This Admin lifted the sanctions on Venezuela in return for an agreement that free elections would be held. From the goings on it looks like free elections have been ignored. however, the substitute candidate for office hasn't been beaten yet. We can expect more Venezuelans to head here if the elections go sour. I read one articled urging the reinstatement of sanctions. We shall see soon.
