   It’s humiliating for the president that almost three weeks since he   
   appointed Kamala Harris as his border point woman, she still hasn’t   
   visited the disaster zone, come up with a plan or held a press conference   
   on the migrant crisis.   
      
   Instead, she’s visited a water treatment plant in California and a bakery   
   in Chicago, where the press pool reported on her sweet tooth last week.   
      
   “Her favorite is German chocolate, and [she] gets that for her birthday   
   each year, and her staff had pre-ordered a slice for her. The bakery’s   
   specialty is caramel cake, and she said she was looking forward to that   
   too.”   
      
   Riveting stuff.   
      
   Meantime, the self-inflicted humanitarian tragedy at the southern border   
   has spiraled out of control, opinion polls are heading south, the Biden   
   appointee in charge has abruptly resigned, El Salvador’s president has   
   refused to meet the visiting US envoy, and the VP is defying her boss and   
   staying far away from the stinking mess to protect her reputation.   
      
   But while the pair play “pass the parcel,” the vacuum of leadership is   
   only fueling a humanitarian catastrophe.   
      
   President Biden knew when he appointed Harris to manage the crisis on   
   March 24 that it was a poison chalice, which gives you a hint of the   
   growing wariness in a relationship where the VP is referred to by insiders   
   as “The Heiress” and Biden is regarded as incapable of serving a full   
   term.   
      
   The White House announced at the time that Harris would “lead our efforts   
   with Mexico and the Northern Triangle … in stemming the migration to our   
   southern border.”   
      
   But, when asked when she planned to go to the border, Harris responded   
   with hysterical laughter. “Not today,” she chortled.   
      
   “The vice president is not doing the border,” her spokeswoman Symone   
   Sanders told reporters two days later.   
      
   Instead, Harris would be addressing the “root causes” of the surge in   
   migration. To that end, she’s made two phone calls to regional leaders.   
      
   But the only root cause that matters is to restore Trump-era border   
   protection measures that Biden unwound by executive decree: Restore the   
   “Remain in Mexico” policy for asylum seekers, restart deportation of   
   criminal aliens, finish the border wall and stop making children bait for   
   cartels.   
      
   Biden has tried to claim the border surge is just a seasonal uptick, but   
   numbers are soaring exponentially. Last month alone, 19,000 children were   
   recorded crossing the border, double the previous month. The government   
   reportedly anticipates more than 35,000 migrant children will need to be   
   cared for by June.   
      
   Biden has put the sugar on the table for people smugglers and children are   
   suffering.   
      
   Video footage online shows buses at a detention center in Texas in which   
   every adult on board is accompanied by one small child. Biden’s policy of   
   accepting unaccompanied minors has made children the tickets for entry to   
   America, but how do we know if these kids are even related to the adults   
   holding their hands? No one is doing DNA tests.   
      
   Another video shows a sobbing 10-year-old Nicaraguan child walking alone   
   on a road in Texas before telling a border agent he is afraid “they” might   
   “rob or kidnap me or something.”   
      
   During a press conference last week, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott made stunning   
   allegations of child sexual abuse at a migrant facility in San Antonio   
   that holds more than 1,300 migrant children.   
      
   He told Fox News on Thursday that allegations of child sexual assault had   
   been lodged with two state agencies in Texas: “[It] was a very specific   
   description about ways in which children were being sexually assaulted,   
   where it was happening, who was doing it and the horrific things that were   
   being done which I cannot tell you on TV … The Biden administration knows   
   about this … and yet still nothing is happening.”   
      
   Nothing except cynical distraction, denial and deflection.   
      
   House Speaker Nancy Pelosi dismissed his complaints as “ridiculous … The   
   fact is we’re on a good path at the border under the leadership of   
   President Biden … It’s about restructuring … because we were in a very bad   
   situation under the Trump administration.”   
      
   This is Biden’s Operation Warp Speed: How to ruin a country in 100 days.   
      
   So desperate is the administration that government employees quietly are   
   being offered four months’ paid leave from their jobs to help care for   
   migrant children in shelters at the border, reports the New York Times.   
      
   But the White House won’t even acknowledge there is a problem.   
      
   On Friday, press secretary Jen Psaki spent more than double the time   
   talking about the Ukrainian border than America’s southern border: 262   
   words versus 94.   
      
   “The reason for accepting these children is that we feel it is not the   
   humane step to send these kids back on their treacherous journey,” she   
   said, as if the atrocities being committed in our name are compassionate.   
      
   Later that afternoon, the White House issued a statement that Roberta   
   Jacobsen, the White House coordinator for the southern border, had   
   resigned.   
      
   She must be the only person in the administration with a conscience.   
      
   The Biden family biz? Nepotism   
   As Hunter Biden has his reputation laundered by a fawning media, his   
   abandoned laptop reveals the extent of entitlement and privilege long   
   enjoyed by President Biden’s family and vigorously exploited by his crack-   
   loving son.   
      
   In a 2015 email exchange, Hunter’s cousin Missy Owens asks him to procure   
   a government appointment for her mother, Valerie Owens, the sister of   
   then-VP Joe Biden: “I really want to get on something, but … mom needs it   
   more than I do right now.” Hunter replies that he will “go through the   
   list with Steve [Ricchetti, then Joe’s chief of staff, now White House   
   counselor] and see what makes sense. I don’t know how much 2016 [the   
   election] and nepotism plays into it.”   
      
   Lo and behold, the following year, President Barack Obama appoints Aunt   
   Val to a ceremonial role at the United Nations, a four-month stint that   
   pays $26,000.   
      
   In addition, a memo to Hunter from his business partner Eric Schwerin in   
   2016 sets up two $12,500-per-month “consulting” contracts for Aunt Val   
   when the UN gig runs out.   
      
   The Biden Foundation is to provide a “Consulting Contract with Valerie   
   Owens or her LLC for $12,500 a month for one year.”   
      
   The other consultancy is with the University of Delaware, to coincide with   
   the announcement of its Biden Center with Joe as “founding chair.”   
      
   Missy herself, along with sister Casey, landed a federal job during the   
   Obama administration, before moving to a lucrative “government relations”   
   job with Coca-Cola. See how it works?   
      
   The rules never apply to the Bidens. Jobs, Ivy League berths, internships,
