Here's what you need to know ahead of Kamala's border drop-in today.
After manufacturing the worst border crisis in history, and ignoring the issue for 1,190 days, she wants to play hero — but it's really all about politics.
Here are the FACTS.
🧵 THREAD:
Kamala will claim illegal border crossings are "down."
In March 2021, Kamala was crowned "border czar" and illegal border crossings went one way: UP. The average number of illegal border crossings each month has nearly tripled under Kamala (196K/mo) over President Trump (50K/mo).
The number of illegals released into the country went from two-digit monthly releases under President Trump to five- and six-digit monthly releases under Kamala — and that doesn't include the illegals she ferried in through her phone app and migrant flights.
In fact, Kamala has failed to remove 99.7% of illegals released into the country's interior — and experts say they're likely here to say "indefinitely, if not forever."
Kamala will argue for "setting rules at the border and enforcing them."
That's total BS. Kamala *admitted* her policy was to "undo" President Trump's successful border security — and she made good on it.
One day one, Kamala terminated almost every Trump border security policy by halting the border wall, suspending deportations, terminating 'Remain in Mexico,' implementing catch-and-release, and much more.
There couldn't be more of a difference between the economic records of President Donald J. Trump and Kamala Harris.
Americans were BETTER OFF under President Trump — and the proof is in the numbers.
🧵 THREAD:
GAS PRICES:
— Under President Trump, the national average for regular gas NEVER rose above $3/gallon. Under Kamala, it has been above $3/gallon for 1,229 days in a row — or 92% of her term.
— Under Trump, gas prices averaged $2.48/gallon. Under Kamala, gas prices have averaged $3.49/gallon, or more than a dollar higher.
— Under President Trump, gas prices fell below $1/gallon in 13 states. Under Kamala, gas prices hit new record highs in ALL 50 states.
HOUSEHOLD INCOMES:
— In President Trump's first three years, Americans saw a 10.5% boost ($7,690) in median household income — seven times larger than the 1.3% increase ($1,050) after the first three years of Kamala.
— Under President Trump, Black Americans saw a 9.2% increase ($4,540) — nearly twice as high as the increase under Kamala ($2,650).
— Under President Trump, Hispanic Americans saw an 11.7% increase ($6,960) — ten times higher than the increase under Kamala ($700).
— Under President Trump, Asian Americans saw a 14.4% increase ($14,600) — ten times higher than the increase under Kamala ($1,500).
— Under President Trump, White Americans saw a 10.8% increase ($8,320) — ten times higher than the increase under Kamala ($830).
MAKE NO MISTAKE: The would-be assassin of President Trump was egged on by the incendiary rhetoric and lies that have flowed from Kamala Harris, Democrats, and their Fake News allies for years.
🧵 THREAD:
Kamala Harris (repeatedly):
"Trump is a threat to our democracy and fundamental freedoms."
