Back when she was San Francisco D.A., U.S. Senator Kamala Harris, now a
presidential contender and a self-described "progressive prosecutor,"
cost the city of San Francisco millions of dollars and cost Jamal
Trulove more than six years of his life. Harris allowed the people
working under her to pursue a murder charge against Trulove that was
ultimately overturned by an appeals court. Harris has yet to account for
this incident, which is in stark contrast to the progressive image she
is trying to project as she runs for president. Trulove shares his
experience growing up in San Francisco and his thoughts on Harris' role
in his case. (Despite numerous attempts to reach her, Harris did not
return VICE's requests for comment.)
Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday snapped at an NBC anchor when he
pressed her on why she hasn’t visited the US-Mexico border in the 76
days since President Biden put her in charge of the record-smashing
illegal immigration crisis — saying she hasn’t “been to Europe,” either.
“At some point, you know, we are going to the border,” a defensive
Harris told NBC anchor Lester Holt on “Today” in Guatemala on her first
international trip since taking office — and 1,308 miles away from the
crossing.
“We’ve been to the border. So this whole thing about the border. We’ve
been to the border,” Harris said, to which Holt replied, “You haven’t
been to the border.”
Harris countered, “And I haven’t been to Europe. And I mean, I don’t,
understand the point that you’re making. I’m not discounting the
importance of the border.”
Harris’ comments come as Border Patrol continues to be overwhelmed by
the crisis, which has seen the largest number of illegal immigrants
cross the border this fiscal year since 2006.

“Look at the track record and dive into the details,” Scott said to the
Daily Caller News Foundation. “It’s smoke and mirrors.”
“Just like the Senate bill, she supports more funding and more agents,
but it’s to expedite the processing and flow of more illegal aliens into
the United States quicker,” Scott said, referring to the now-dead Senate
border deal that was quashed in the House earlier this year. “It’s not
border security.”
In a campaign ad released in July, the Harris campaign claimed the vice
president supports increasing the number of Border Patrol agents,
supports new technology to block drugs from entering the U.S. and even
faulted former President Donald Trump for not supporting the Senate
border deal. The vice president doubled down on this approach with a new
ad this week that casts her as a tough border-state prosecutor and
reiterated her pledge to hire “thousands more” border agents.
The new campaign drive appears at odds with her history as a U.S.
senator and as vice president.

When running for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020, Harris
was among the majority of contestants who raised their hands when asked
if they supported the decriminalization of illegal border crossings. As
a senator, she once attempted to compare Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE) agents to the Ku Klux Klan and joined a list of Senate
Democrats in formally opposing then-President Donald Trump’s efforts to
increase the number of Border Patrol agents on the ground.
NumbersUSA, a group that supports more hawkish immigration policy,
awarded her Senate career an F- rating for her support of a number of
bills that, the organization argues, would’ve weakened border security
and incentivized further illegal immigration.
Scott served as Border Patrol chief from roughly the last year of the
Trump administration to the first seven months of the Biden-Harris
administration, which overlapped with Harris’ assignment to address the
root causes of illegal immigration from Central America. The retired
chief confirmed to the DCNF that Harris never once spoke to him, even
after her special designation as “border czar.”
“‘I support more funding for more agents,’” Scott said, mocking the new
Harris ads. “Well what are you going to do with them?”

“She supports more funding to speed up the processing, not to patrol the
border and enhance the technology on the border,” he explained. “When
you dive in and look at her platform and everything she’s said, it’s
very, very consistent.”
The retired chief noted that the Biden-Harris administration “redirected
millions and millions” from enforcement operations within Border Patrol
and other Customs and Border Protection (CBP) resources in order to
process more illegal migrants into the country. He also blamed the
administration for redirecting vast taxpayer resources to NGOs so they
could fly illegal migrants to “wherever they want to go” instead of
prioritizing enforcement.
“Border Security is preventing people from coming into our house without
coming through that front door, which is a port of entry,” Scott stated.
“It’s enforcing the law, not finding ways to work around it.”
