![[UPDATE]: Wait...What Is Being Given to Illegal Aliens at These Detention Facilities? And How Is Kamala Involved?](https://media.townhall.com/cdn/hodl/2021/109/58315844-eabd-4b0e-b5b7-8091139e21d6-1052x615.jpg)
[UPDATE: Apparently, the book was donated, but it's still an eye-roll-worthy moment regarding how this administration is handling this catastrophe at the border. The story, which was originally published in The New York Post, has also been updated to reflect that we're talking about one donated book. The reporter resigned over the story.]

Kamala Harris is supposed to be quarterbacking border enforcement efforts, which is laughable in the extreme. Where is she? She’s AWOL. Meanwhile, illegal alien arrests at the border have gone through the stratosphere. The detention centers are filled to the brim. We have COVID-infected patients being released into the border towns. And Joe Biden is nowhere to be seen. The border is supposedly closed, though the signals suggesting otherwise are present in government policy. Recently, the Biden administration decided to waive the fines lobbed at noncitizens who have refused to leave. Yet, there seems to be another eye-opening move at the border. Vice President Kamala Harris might not be there, but her children’s book is there (via NY Post):

Reporter: "Does it concern you that we haven't really heard from [Kamala Harris on the border]?

Chuck Schumer: No, but she's a very capable person, a thoughtful person and somebody who I think is very capable of coming up with solutions." pic.twitter.com/XhF8zuMaHk

Vice President Kamala Harris hasn’t been to the border to address a crisis she was tasked to help fix — but a children’s book she wrote is waiting there for young migrants who are being welcomed into the country.
Unaccompanied migrant kids brought from the U.S.-Mexico border to a new shelter in Long Beach, Calif., will be given a copy of her 2019 children’s book, “Superheroes are Everywhere,” in their welcome kits.
It’s just the latest open-arms gesture by the Biden administration, whose mixed messaging regarding the border and immigration has been credited with the surge from Central America to the U.S.-Mexico border.
Border czar Roberta Jacobson last month conceded that the Biden administration’s messaging to migrants has been inconsistent, contributing to the unprecedented surge.
To boot, the government is reportedly buying copies of her book as well. I’m pretty sure this is an ethical issue. I mean, if it isn’t then the rules set forth by the liberal media and the Democrats have changed once again:

We have a crisis at the border. It’s unavoidable. You cannot cover it with a blanket, Joe. You’re a mess at home. You’re weak abroad. China rolled you in Anchorage recently, with China conducting massive military exercises close to Taiwan. Russia recently sent some 80,000 troops to the Ukraine border. They withdrew, but the Afghanistan withdrawal could be another instance where you drop the glass vase. Harris’ book isn’t going to solve this. Changing the language with regards to discussing this issue isn’t going to alter the fact that this is a crisis. It’s on you, Joe. But we know better to count on you. You’re asleep most of the time anyway.
