Two Observations

Oh, the media doesn't lie to us?

Read 1984. The Ministry of Truth at work.

When Harris became Biden’s “border czar,” as critics called her, the administration was under pressure from both sides to address the rising number of migrants — particularly unaccompanied children — crossing the border and landing in poor conditions in U.S. custody. On March 24, 2021, Biden took the stage at the White House and seemed to hand the keys on the issue over to his vice president.

“The vice president has agreed — among the multiple other things that I have her leading, and I appreciate it — agreed to lead our diplomatic effort to work with those nations to accept returnees and enhance migration enforcement at their borders,” Biden said. In accepting the task, Harris made her role more specific, describing largely diplomatic responsibilities. “I look forward to engaging in diplomacy with government, with the private sector, with civil society and the leaders of each in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras to strengthen democracy and the rule of law and ensure shared prosperity in the region. We will collaborate with Mexico and other countries throughout the Western Hemisphere.”

Harris was never named the "border czar" and it's difficult to imagine any President using that term in an official announcement about someone's duties. Her mission was to work with the governments of El Salvador, Guatamala, and Honduras to improve conditions there and reduce the influx of refugees from those countries. Her task was nowhere near the Mexican border.

Reporters were quick to pick up on the use of the term "border czar" to describe Harris, but her duties did not involve anything regarding the border. The reporters may have been sloppy then in describing her duties, but it doesn't change what those duties actually were. And Harris's work was a success. From the same article:

Since 2021, immigration from the Central American countries of Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras, once the leaders in illegal immigration across the southwest border, has fallen from 86,089 in March 2021 to 25,015 in June 2024, according to Customs and Border Protection data.

Not the Ministry of Truth. The actual Truth.

What a good little soldier! Predictable, too.
