Vice President Kamala Harris is blending two Democratic agendas into one, claiming on Thursday that “extreme climate” is one of the root causes of illegal immigrants surging the southern border of the United States.
Blame it on climate change – not open borders
At the Northern Triangle (Honduras, Guatemala and Honduras) roundtable, Harris added climate change to the primary reasons the Council on Foreign Relations gave for hundreds of thousands of Central Americans fleeing their countries (mostly to the U.S.) – poverty, corruption and chronic violence.
“[To solve the border crisis, the Biden-Harris administration must] address both what I think of as the acute and the root causes of migration,” Harris told the roundtable, according to The Western Journal. “Most people don’t want to leave home – they don’t want to leave their grandparents … they don’t want to leave the culture.”
She then worked the Democrats’ climate change agenda into the equation of factors spurring Latinos to flee.
“We are looking at extensive storm damage because of extreme climate, [and] we’re looking at drought in an area in a region where agriculture is one of the most traditionally important basis for their economy,” Harris continued. “We’re looking at what’s happening in terms of food scarcity as a result of that and, in fact, incredible food insecurity, which we used to call hunger – food insecurity.”
She then conceded that a few other factors have a part in the crisis.
“And we are looking at, therefore, a number of issues that also relate to poverty, extreme poverty, and also there’s violence obviously coming out of those regions,” Harris admitted, as reported by Fox News, before circling back to climate alarmism. “When you look at the root causes, we’re also looking at issues of corruption, [but] again, we’re looking at the issue of climate resiliency and then the concern about a lack of economic opportunity.”
Harris indicated that so-called climate change – which she blames on manmade pollutants – was responsible for Hurricane Eta and Iota that hit the Northern Triangle last October and November, which Newsweek said damaged 250,000 homes and left 5.3 million in need of assistance. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations also considers Northern Triangle nations as part of the Central American Dry Corridor, which it says is suffering one its worst famines in a decade.
Idle talk?
However, the current border surge did not begin until Biden took office and implemented his open border policies – including halting construction of former President Donald Trump’s border wall.
The U.S.’s attempt to help local governments in the Northern Triangle to curb the exodus – through a number of “pro-development” and “tough-on-crime” policies – has done little stop caravans from swarming the border … especially after President Joe Biden essentially invited immigrants to come to the U.S. illegally during his presidential campaign with assurances of acceptance.
“Migrants from this region constitute a large portion of the illegal aliens unlawfully entering the country in the 2021 border crisis still going on to this day, according to the [Council on Foreign Relations],” The Western Journal noted.
Republicans and other conservatives have frequently criticized Biden and Harris – who Biden assigned to solve the border situation – for their lack of concern to remedy the border crisis that they incited through their pro-immigration policies. They stress how neither has visited the border since the crisis began more than three months ago.
It’s only getting worse …
Months after taking over the White House, the Biden administration would not admit a border crisis existed – calling it a “border challenge” – but the number of illegal immigrants at the border continues to climb to record highs.
“The U.S. is seeing a dramatic surge in migration at the border, with 172,000 migrants encountered in March alone – and thousands more estimated to have evaded Border Patrol,” Fox News reported. “The spike in unaccompanied children and migrant families, in particular, has overwhelmed facilities and led the Biden administration to rapidly opening facilities to house them.”
Despite stopping the construction of Trump’s border wall, minimizing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and employing catch-and-release, Democrats continue to point fingers in other directions for the border crisis.
“The Biden administration has placed significant emphasis on the root causes of the crisis, while also saying migrant surges are seasonal and dismissing claims from critics that a liberalization of migration and border policy by the administration is responsible,” Fox informed.
But conservatives in Washington stress that it is no coincidence that the current illegal immigration surge began the day Biden took office, starting with his pro-immigration executive orders.
“Republicans have pointed to the Biden administration’s rollback of the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), narrowing of interior enforcement and the decision not to apply Title 42 public health protections to unaccompanied children as reasons for the surge,” Fox News noted.

I’m surprised Kamala Heiress didn’t blame “systemic racism” for the invasion!
Why does ANYBODY care what this women says or thinks? She is the very definition of irrelevance. How did she get through grade school? College?
How did she get through school is a dumb question when asking that about Choo Choo Kamala. She did it the same way she achieved everything in her life, SHE SPREAD HER LEGS AND USED HER KNEE PADS!
Give her time. I am sure she will make the link that systemic racism is CAUSING extreme climate change soon enough.
Well cackling Kalamity, the mummy speaks…..still stupid after all these years
One of my former medical military comrades, often said, his wife who WAS a psychologist”, often said “Someone cackling like she does” is a sign of mental illness..
Keep in mind:
Truth, Facts, Reality and History are all irrelevant to a Democrat and especially to the Democrats in government, IF they DON”T WANT to believe them or don’t fit into their Lie, Con or Deception.
Democrats will just Make Up their OWN Truth, Facts, Reality and History to fit what they WANT to believe and fits into their Lie, Con or deception that they are trying to make you believe.
ONLY A FOOL WOULD TRUST this Socialist Democrat Party or their corrupt, traitorous misleaders. 🙁 🙁 🙁
Just say “Thanks Georgia.” That says it all.
More like ” A POX on georgia, for saddling us with not just biden but Warnock and that other imbecil.
I have a question: If they are coming here due to climate change – do we not have climate change here? The dems say we have climate change here so why are they leaving climate change to come to climate change? Inquiring minds want to know.
ITS just like when they claim “They are just coming to escape gang violence”. BUT HOLD THE HELL ON, are we not suffering some of the worst gang violence on record in city after city in this nation??
Yep, Kamala, there are food shortages, because these people live in dictatorships. That is the “climate change” that is causing the food shortages, dictatorships. How is that for “wokeness” Kamala?????
Whatever the Marxist Fascist Democrat leadership says is exactly not what the say it is. They repeat the lies hoping that they will say it enough that it will be believed. The sad part is that a large number of the population has been dumbed down enough that they do not know how to find out what the truth is, and will accept the lie as the truth. We need laws that allow for recall of any and all elected officials all the way to the president. If enough people want to remove the elected official it s change, it should be put on a ballot. It could be called the people’s impeachment.
Our esteemed Vice President has yet to figure out the climate is hot near the equator. I have been close to the Equator and figured it out the first day I stood out in the sunshine at Noon.
As she is Jamaican, she probably was subjected to that heat before.
I wonder if that is the reason why she refuses to go to our southern border, even though that is her job.
Biden at least has an excuse to being ignorant of the facts, because he has dementia. What’s her excuse?

The human body will adjust to any climate they live in, within a couple of weeks.
But a true Democrat will never have a honest rational character or mentality.
Maybe living in the heat, BURNED off what brain cells she had!
Every time she opens up her useless trap it shows how stupid and ignorant she is. Scary thought of her being president or is she it now because the stupidity seems to come from this administration daily.
The Democrats cater to people who are a mix of extremely gullible and completely stupid. The reason for the border “crisis” is we are not protecting our border.
The easiest way to stop this is to send our armed military to the border with orders to secure the border. Once the people find out they are going to be stuck in Mexico, many of them will stay home. Once our border is secure, Mexico will then have a border crisis. They, Mexico, can then close their southern border and stop this completely.
Once our military has gained control of our border then the National Guard should be mobilized to go through each state and expel those who are in the country illegally. This problem could be fixed by the 4th of July if we had a competent president in office who loved America.
AND when they are put there, TELL THEM they are fully authorized to use WHAT EVER FORCE is needed to SECURE that border…
Biden and Harris = Dumb & Dumber. How much more of this are the “moderate” democrats going to take? They seem to be following the leadership off a cliff like lemmings. Amazing.
Qualified as VP on the demoncrat idiot test. she;s up to par on this job—she’s blowing it. She and mr. biden are the daily double on the loser polls.
For delusional, divisive, and dishonest Democrats like Kamala Harris, climate change and systemic racism are the primary causes of all of our nation’s problems and need to be remedied using the full force of the federal government and many trillions of tax dollars. Harris and her fellow radical Democrats will not be satisfied until America collapses economically and they can gut the Constitution in order to impose a socialist dictatorship that grants special privileges to minorities.
I wonder. IS China systemically racist, since they VASTLY OUTNUMBER THE US, in amount of pollution and such created. OR because they are not ‘white’, is their pollution, not as bad as america’s is?
Democrat short list of standard responses to questions: 1 – You’re a racist. 2. That’s racist 3. America’s inherently racist past 4. America is an inherently racist country. 5. Climate change. 6. (If you’re VP) Just giggle like a nervous school girl.
So, is that why all of you Liberal politicians are half-baked?
You people are mentally unfit to be leading this country.
TO me, they are mentally unfit, to be in the human race.
Sooooo then, am I to understand there was no “climate change” during the Trump Presidency, since he had it all under control? Pulling that little thread, both the border crisis and the faux climate change are a communist/democrat thing? Me thinks the problem is between her ears.
The root causes of illegal immigrants surging the southern border of the United States is the incompetence of the current administration!
TO me, its not incompetence. ITS THEIR ENTIRE GOAL, to get this nation FLOODED with as many illegal invaders, as they can, then push to get them ‘registered to vote’, so they can THUS STAY In power for as long as possible..
Harris would never cite science to support a policy she opposed. She promiscuously uses the word climate to falsely support her failing policies. What is her next political statement going to be using an appeal to science (a favorite method of commercial advertising)? Gang shooting victims are falling to the ground because of gravity which is a manifestation of white hierarchical thinking?
The woman is an idiot!!! Nuff said!!!
What is the difference between a laughing hyena and kh. Not much.
A hyena can’t HELP it.
If climate change is the cause of the border” problem and they hope to cure climate change in thirty years, then we should have 450,000 more illegal immigrants in our country. Isn’t that pathetic reasoning and stupid too
IMMO You mis calculated by at least a factor of 20 on that #.
Extreme climate is not the problem.
Extreme insanity is the problem.
