In the ever-shifting landscape of American politics, nothing raises eyebrows quite like a flip-flop on a significant issue—especially when that issue involves the U.S. border wall. Former Acting Director of ICE, Tom Homan, a familiar face on conservative news channels, recently commented on the peculiar evolution of Vice President Kamala Harris’s stance on this divisive subject. During a discussion, Homan made it quite clear that if Harris were to take charge, she would likely sweep her previous criticisms of the wall under the rug—much like one might hide a bad stain on the carpet.
Homan pointed out that the materials and funds for constructing the wall are readily available, making the argument that a decision to build could be executed almost immediately. This kind of proclamation often stirs the pot among viewers who think about how taxpayer money is being used—or rather, not used—in the current leadership’s approach to border security. It seems Homan believes that some tax money is going to waste while the contracts sit idle, just waiting for the green light. This certainly raises the question: what have we been waiting for?
In the past, Harris held the wall in disdain, labeling it as “un-American” and even a “medieval vanity project.” Yet, as the political winds shift and the 2024 election approaches, she might find it more convenient to flip-flop yet again. J.D. Vance, a fellow political figure, took to the airwaves to remind everyone of her previous declarations, urging Harris to focus on her current duties rather than make grand promises about what she might do. It’s a ludicrous position to be in—being told to prove your worth while simultaneously claiming you want to make changes when you’ve had years to do so.
Homan does not shy away from expressing concern over the handling of border security in the current administration. He points out that far from delivering a secure border, the Biden-Harris duo has overseen the loosening of what was once the most secure border in his lifetime. Harris’s former claims about the Border Patrol make even seasoned political analysts do a double-take. The scrutiny doesn’t stop at rhetoric; the effectiveness of legislation intended to address issues at the border seems stunted, with Democrats blocking Republican proposals that might have made a difference.
As border crossings continue to rise, another matter sparks even more concern: transparency. The current administration has blocked Freedom of Information Act requests from Fox News that sought to reveal nationalities of individuals on the FBI’s terror watch list who were caught at the border. This raises eyebrows as Harris argues these details could jeopardize law enforcement operations. Homan, having spent decades in federal law enforcement, saw right through this justification, stating it isn’t a matter of privacy; it’s about political vulnerability. Apparently, the administration seems more troubled by how the public might react than by the real threats across the border.
In closing, it may come as no surprise that Harris’s political destiny is tied up with not only her own ambitions but the intentions of not-so-friendly parties. Certain criminal cartels and terrorist organizations would prefer her leadership, as they’ve grown fond of the current status quo. While the rest of America awaits a more secure future, these groups are likely hoping she will prioritize their interests over the safety of everyday citizens. As the debate over the border wall rages on, one thing remains clear: truth in politics can sometimes seem as elusive as the materials needed to finish the long-anticipated wall.
