President Biden has handed Vice President Kamala Harris the job of fixing the mess at the U.S.-Mexico border, and she’s no fool. Rather than taking charge of the actual border, she is at pains to say she has been tapped for something far more grand (and vague): to be the Administration’s point person for addressing the “root causes” of emigration from these countries and providing “hope” for the region.

And so on Wednesday she brought together experts on the Northern Triangle nations of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, the home countries of so many migrants. Here’s how the Vice President summed up the issue before her discussion:

“We are looking at issues that have been a long time in the making. We are looking at issues that relate to the need for economic development, a need for resilience around extreme climate; looking at the fact that this is, in large part—these Northern Triangle countries—a large part of their economic base was agriculture, and then what the severe climate experiences have done in dampening and really harming their ability to have that economic driver in their countries.”

If we understand this word salad, Ms. Harris seems to be saying that the development problem in these countries is that climate change is making agriculture impossible. This in turn is one of the root causes sending people to our Southern border.

Climate has become this Administration’s theory of everything. Central America does have to endure hurricanes, but that’s true of many tropical countries. If agriculture hasn’t reached its full potential in these countries, it has much more to do with a lack of investment due to crime, insecure property rights and corruption. Not to mention misguided initiatives such as the 1980s land reform in El Salvador.

If Ms. Harris really wants to boost “hope” while getting down to “root causes,” we suggest a prescription of freer markets, property rights, and the rule of law would do wonders. The Vice President needs a briefing team that knows something about the region, not simple-minded talking points from the Biden election campaign.

She’s a fucking clown. Everything is either racism or climate change. Simple human greed and laziness can never be considered because in the leftist worldview, people are basically good instead of the realistic view which holds that people are neutral, and can be pushed good or bad by circumstances, incentives, and culture.

Her puppet strings show she is to roll out the false flags of Global Warming panic. Along with Covid fraud, Globalists will be programming famines to up the ante for their total, centralized control and destruction of human rights, and they will blame Global Warming. Coming soon to a Globalist theater near you.
