Quick question:

If it was Harris that was responsible for and overseeing the border, why did the GOP spend all that time trying to impeach Mayorkas over the border problems? Why not Harris, if she was the one that was really in charge of the border?

Very excellent point! BTW, even Mitch McConnell was just on the Senate floor this morning repeating the lie that Kamala was in charge of the Biden administration's "failed border policy". The last remaining scintilla of any respect I had for Mitch is gone.

“why did the GOP spend all that time trying to impeach Mayorkas”

His title is why.. Mayorkas, the Border Czar and Disgraced Biden are all to blame for America’s Border Crisis.

If it wasn't for the fact that convict Trump would want us to know it was him, I would swear you are convict Trump. You repeat his rhetoric verbatim, all the time. (Except the bit about gardening, whenever you mention it.)

He has that title because he's the one who has authority over the border.

What authority do you believe Harris has over the border, that you think she is to blame for "America's Border Crisis"? If she's to blame, perhaps you could explain what her actual responsibility is over the Department of Homeland Security that she has failed to properly execute...

“But it is not just Democratic party leaders stating these talking points. It has also been the press. Many media sources reported last week that Harris was never the “border czar.” This is odd, because some of those same media sources, including NBC, the Associated Press, Politico, the Washington Post, and the New York Times largely stated otherwise in 2021. Politico reported that Biden made Harris the “point person on immigration issues” amid the border surge; NBC reported, “Biden tasks Harris with ‘stemming the migration’ on southern border”; and the Associated Press stated, “Biden taps VP Harris to lead response to border challenges.””

That's just a bunch of press snippets, none of which actually say that Harris had any authority or responsibility over the border (not even that she was a "border czar").

What authority or responsibility did Harris actually have over the border, such that she should have any blame for the management of the border?

“Vice President Kamala Harris will be the White House’s point person on immigration issues at the nation’s southern border, President Joe Biden announced Wednesday, tasking her with stemming the rising tide of migrants, many of them unaccompanied children, arriving in the U.S.”

“News outlets, including Axios, gave Harris the unofficial monicker of "border czar.”
The monicker has stuck and imo appropriate.

Disgraced Biden and VP Harris opened the border in the first place and now is a major campaign issue for the Border Czar.

It doesn't really matter.
She owns the Biden policies, all of them, on every subject.

Because she's the democrat nominee and the sitting Vice President. They can't claim she's like Obama was, some kind of bystander in his own administration.
