Kamala Slammed for Insane Border Crisis Claim

Via TTN:

Kamala Harris thinks that the climate is causing the border crisis. The claim drew the attention of many Republicans who pointed out the insanity in her claim.

According to Town Hall:

In a speech to the Washington Conference on the Americas, Harris named some of the “acute causes,” such as food insecurity, hurricanes, and COVID-19.

As for the root causes, “I’m thinking of corruption, violence and poverty, the lack of economic opportunity, the lack of climate adaptation and climate resilience, the lack of good governance,” she said.

Fox News reported:

While she didn’t immediately go into details, she later spoke of delivering food, shelter and water to the people of Honduras, and, in Guatemala, working with farmers to plant drought-resistant crops and help women farmers increase their crops.

Harris has cited weather and climate issues before when talking of “root causes.” Recently, in a Northern Triangle roundtable in April, she spoke extensively of the list of issues she believes are root causes. […]

“When you look at the root causes, we’re also looking at issues of corruption. Again, we’re looking at the issue of climate resiliency and then the concern about a lack of economic opportunity.”

The administration has decided that giving money to central America will hopefully alleviate the crisis. Harris has announced that over $300 million of taxpayer money will go to Central America.
