So sez she as yet to go anywhere near~the crisis?~the disaster on the border. Anything to shoo in all those extra votes to obtain one party Marxist rule.
Near the end of the article, challenged spokesperson for his handlers, POTUS Obiden "himself dismissed the migrant crisis as nothing more than a 'seasonal surge.'"
Yeah, and today me dino is a real dino who thinks he's Peter Pan.

    Of course the climate in central America is better than in most of the United States.

    El Salvador temperatures run with a low in the mid 60's and a high in the mid 80's all year round. So if people are escaping climate change they would be heading to El Salvador.

    I know this is just about name-calling, but I'll post a serious comment on it anyway.
    Here's a real article about the Harris' comments: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/kama...
    I think Harris' basic facts are right: Central American is dependent on agriculture. Agriculture is affected by global warming.
    BUT there's a key fact that's more important. Agriculture-based economies produce less wealth than industrial economies, which produce less wealth than post-industrial information/automation economies. Economies dependent on agriculture are vulnerable to climate change or just a run of bad luck in the weather. Even if we totally fixed climate change, the problem would persist. I think the solution is freedom, a mostly trustworthy legal system, and a culture of trying new things to create wealth, i.e. the world needs to be more like the US. I don't know how to do that, but I'm definitely for less interference with good, people, and money flowing across borders.

    I completely understand that climate change is costing the world huge amounts, but I see it as tangential to the problem of refugees. One of difficult things about climate change is a lot of will come in hundreds of years. It's very hard to ammortize those future costs into a present value and them weigh them against the cost of acting now. So politicians point to a present crisis because it's easier to visualize than the sum of all the little costs of rising sea levels and changing biomes over hundreds of years.

    So my tldr; take-away is borders are the actual root cause of the problem.

      CG, you've admitted to voting for Obama and Mrs. Clinton. I assume you voted for Biden over the best president we've had in decades if in spite of his personality.
      I'm only curious about one thing. Do you consider yourself "woke" as the radical left currently defines the term?

        "I assume you voted for Biden"
        I contributed to the Biden campaign, made sure every one I know was able to vote, and my wife did some limited volunteering with voting. We delivered our ballots for Biden to the clerk directly to eliminate any risk of them being mishandled.

        I guess I'm not woke because I do not accept all parts of the liberal orthodoxy, e.g. restricting gun rights, gov't management of healthcare.
