Tucker: Kamala Harris is no genius, obviously

good evening and welcome to tucker carlson happy monday joe biden may have lost a step along the way but his handlers work fast within hours of the inauguration in january biden's white house opened america's borders to the world not simply to job seekers and gang members from mexico and central america but to varieties of illegal migrants from all over the globe from africa and asia from the middle east virtually anyone who could get to mexico was and is admitted into the united states without a visa in some cases foreign nationals whose identities we cannot verify were flown to the interior of our country and permanently resettled without the permission of the people who already live there americans how did migrants get from congo to lewiston maine and why well because susan rice and audiologs like her very much want to change maine's demographics as well as the population mix in every other state in the union so the administration is working to do that by fiat without a vote in congress without public consent of any kind by definition this is the most radical possible attack on the core premise of democracy which is that citizens get to run their own countries not foreigners citizens the leaders of the democratic party though no longer believe in democracy as constituted and they definitely don't plan to lose another election so as the rest of us go about our lives they're importing huge numbers of new voters into the united states when you say this out loud they become absolutely hysterical and call you names but they do that only because it's so obviously true unfortunately for susan rice this is one change to the country that's pretty hard to hide if you live within 100 miles of the mexican border for example you watch it happen in real time on the border the rule of law has been suspended the american system of order and decency and fairness is being mocked and destroyed by the very people in charge of sustaining it you don't have to be a conservative republican to be deeply offended by what's going on last november in texas many thousands of lifelong democrats with mexican last names voted for donald trump why because they knew perfectly well what the left planned to do to the border and they were right they're patriotic americans they didn't want to see their country destroyed so for the joe biden administration this is potentially a very serious political problem most people no matter what color they are no matter who they vote for think that joe biden's current immigration policy is lunacy because it is opening the border is the single most unpopular thing the white house has done so far by far biden's handlers understand this could be a disaster for them so this weekend they dispatched kamala harris to central america with orders to pretend she's trying to fix it harris you may remember is the shallow political opportunist from canada we're often told as some kind of civil rights hero slash moral leader on sunday harris flew to guatemala to unveil her policy to address the crisis what is it in a word the plan is bribery the administration plans to spend billions of dollars to pay latin america's poor not to move to the united states cnn of course loves the idea it blames america quote kamala harris's visit to central america singles and signals a new chapter the channel slobbered in a headline this morning but there's nothing actually new about this we've seen this cartoon before six years ago as barack obama's vice president joe biden announced what he called a plan for central america in the new york times the idea at the time is the idea now once we send billions to corrupt foreign governments their citizens will stop showing up in texas and california so we tried it how'd it work exactly well let's see we now have more people from central america coming over our border illegal than at any time in decades possibly ever so it didn't work very well that's obvious to everyone but joe biden who doesn't seem to have noticed in april he told congress that his plan was a brilliant success when i was vice president president asked me to focus on providing help needed to address the root causes of migration and it helped keep people in their own countries instead of being forced to leave the plan was working but the last administration decided it was not worth it i'm restoring the program and asked vice president harris to lead our diplomatic effort to take care of this i have absolute confidence to get the job done so the last administration was weak on border security right okay got it but the sentence to pay attention to is the claim that people from central america are quote forced to come here who are they forced to come here by well by us of course we're not keeping up with our bribes to the drug traffickers who run say honduras so it's our fault better restart the payments immediately or someone could get hurt but that's a lie foreign aid almost never accomplishes what we pretend it will accomplish for the people for whom it's intended and if you think otherwise how about explaining africa for more than 50 years the west the us in particular has bombarded that con with taxpayer and ngo money as well as with all the stupid and very patronizing assumptions that accompany that money and the result is there a single african country that is better off for it less corrupt and more self-sufficient take an hour or two to check that fact sometime if you have the time it's hard to find a single country foreign aid projects are where liberal arrogance goes to die they almost never work for the people they're supposed to work for sorry they don't it sounds like they would but they don't yesterday even the new york times conceded this is true for example over the past 10 years guatemala alone has received more than a billion and a half dollars in u.s aid so what's the result of that aid small country billion and a half dollars well according to the new york times poverty and malnutrition in guatemala have now risen to unprecedented levels really why are you surprised when was the last time that welfare made someone stronger or happier the same is true with countries if anything joe biden's aid package encouraged illegal migration to the united states michael clemons a fellow at the center for global development studied the data on this he found that quote foreign aid focused on economic development is actually associated with increases in emigration from poor countries but of course that's true the only surprise is that we would be surprised healthy places are by definition self-sufficient places dependence by contrast breeds misery that's always true misery causes people to flee and they have kamala harris is no genius obviously but even she must sense this she knows more bribes won't work so instead of defending her plan on the specifics she's taking the much easier and far more familiar road more babbling about racism and sexism and of course climate change there are also long-standing issues that are often called the root causes of immigration we are looking at the issue of poverty and the lack therefore of economic opportunities the issue of extreme weather conditions and the lack of climate adaptation as well as corruption and the lack of good governance and violence against women indigenous people lgbtq people and afrodescendants often cause called the root causes of immigration really by whom exactly no honest person quick kamala harris name three global problems of any kind that are not caused by racism and sexism and climate change and whose solutions don't make you more powerful because that's always the acid test of good faith does the solution cost you or does it help you if it helps you every single time maybe it's not really a solution so what's the answer just kidding trick question obviously there aren't any global problems that aren't associated with racism and sexism and global climate change and that don't require kamala harris to become a lot more powerful the funny thing is and it is funny no one has told central americans this they think they're coming here to brownsville and san jacinto precisely because kamala harris is now the vice president watch yamate says increased border crossings have been caused in part by the change of administrations in washington we're going to reunite families and we're going to reunite children the very next day the coyotes were here organizing groups of children to take them to the united states we asked the united states government to send more of a clear message to prevent more people from leaving oh so they're not coming here because of sexism in fact in latin america they kind of like the patriarchy sorry kamala harris they're not coming here because they're fleeing a culture they don't like it's their culture they're coming here because this is a much richer and much more generous country and now they can come here so why wouldn't they it's not their fault it's ours and if you really wanted to solve the problem the answer is pretty simple you would deport people here illegally that's what normal countries do how much time does mexico or israel spend blaming itself for people who break their laws not a lot of time actually not one second they swiftly deport people who do that and if we did that it would get the world's attention immediately because the truth is many of these countries need illegal immigrants in our country in order to continue that's how unhealthy the economics of this arrangement are as of 2019 for example remittances from immigrants to the united states accounted for fully 20 of el salvador's entire gdp is that healthy should we continue that don't we want an independent el salvador that can feed itself clearly we don't care the same was true essentially in honduras and guatemala according to a recent piece that moved on the ap wire so many guatemalans have left that much of the country survives on remittances they send home once again if you cared about guatemala you would try to make guatemala independent you wouldn't make it yet another third world country dependent on ngo and foreign aid money that's a horrible thing to do it's the same story in mexico by the way in 2018 then presidential candidate amlo admitted quote these remittances are the main income that this country has more than oil more than tourism is that what we want for mexico if you cared about mexico would you want that no it's degrading and it might be part of the reason mexico is a disaster in the middle of a drug war ongoing for 10 years kamala harris doesn't care so her solution is the same solution give more money to the narco states to honduras where the president is under a dea investigation for drug trafficking we are launching our call to action for businesses to invest in the northern triangle i believe that the businesses in particular our private business sector have a very significant role to play as we all know in creating jobs and promoting economic opportunity and in long-term development i am proud that we have companies already in the united states who have committed to act we have mastercard who intends to partner across sectors to bring five million people in the region into the digital economy and to support one million small businesses this is hilarious only because no one on the left talks about economics or understands economics all debates used to be about economics it's not even mentioned anymore it's all race and gender but underlying all of this is economics and what kamala harris is saying is that big u.s companies are quote ready to act selflessly of course to get more cheap labor in the third world they're ready to act even as our own labor market does things that no healthy market would do unemployment is going up even as businesses can't find labor to fill open jobs something very ominous is happening in our labor markets it's being ignored so we can help honduras labor market on behalf of el salvador and by the way send more money to governments that don't deserve it that are corrupt that don't serve their own people in the hope they'll stop invading us but they'll invade us anyway because it's been going on for 10 years hey sean hannity here hey click
