Kamala Blasted Over Shocking Act 

A retired Border Patrol chief revealed on Monday that Vice President Kamala Harris never reached out to him, even after she was assigned a key role in addressing the immigration crisis.

Retired Border Patrol Chief Rodney Scott, who led the agency during the final year of the Trump administration and the first seven months of the Biden administration, stated that policy briefings with the White House ceased entirely once the new administration took office.

This lack of communication persisted even after Harris was appointed by the White House to tackle the “root causes” of illegal immigration from Central America.

“Absolutely not,” Scott told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “As soon as the [Biden-Harris] administration came in, we were basically told in no uncertain terms that if they wanted our opinions, they would ask, but they never asked. “At no time did Biden or Harris ever ask to meet with or get briefed by U.S. Border Patrol. No meetings at all.”

Scott also confirmed that the apparent lack of communication continued even after the White House officially appointed Harris in March 2021 to address the “root causes” of illegal migration from Central America, a major factor in illegal border crossings.

Although Harris’s campaign and her allies have recently rejected the “border czar” label assigned by the media and others, the retired Border Patrol leader argued that she was still given a clear mandate to address a significant aspect of the immigration crisis—a task he believes she failed to accomplish.

“It was very clear to us and everyone else that she was appointed to actually take the lead and spearhead an initiative on border security,” Scott said. “One of the facets was on the root causes. So if you only focus on the root causes, she went down to Central America, and the countries that she talked about on her one and only trip, the illegal immigration from those countries like doubled or tripled. She still failed miserably and there was no follow up.”

Scott noted that the stark absence of communication or interest in border security policy briefings stands in sharp contrast to the approach during the Trump administration.

“We had weekly White House meetings in the Trump administration,” he said. “It wasn’t always with the president or vice president, it was staff, but both Vice President Pence and President Trump were very keenly aware of what was going on at the border and we had a very high level of confidence they were being briefed. At no time did the Biden-Harris administration ever want any of that information.”
