Tulsi Gabbard about the US border crisis

"I went and visited your border in San Diego not that long ago to go and see for myself what was happening there. And what I saw was a well-oiled machine driven by the cartels and the so-called immigration industrial complex working directly with them and profiting off of this well-oiled machine. Open borders that have been enabled by Kamala Harris and Joe Biden to express their compassion as they say, but to exploit those who are coming across our border and being trafficked by this multi-billion dollar cartel industry.
What I saw there were people coming from all over the world, across the border, knowing exactly where to go, not to evade border patrol, but to be picked up by border patrol, waiting patiently to be loaded in the vans where border patrol have become nothing but Uber drivers for them where they are quickly processed through a system that often within 24 hours gets them with a free plane ticket to anywhere in the country, often never to be heard from again. What I saw as I stood in a parking lot near a train station where many of these drop-offs occurred were human traffickers who were waiting, women who were being drugged unknowingly and in their foggy state of mind being ushered into cars, never to be heard from again. What I saw was CEOs of these so-called non-profits who are working directly with the cartels, with CEOs being paid over a million dollars' salaries. All of this being done in the name of compassion. But who is the compassion for really? Who really is benefiting?
It is the cartels, it is the nonprofits that are making money off of these people being trafficked without a care for the over 325,000 children who are missing, many of whom are likely being abused in our country today. Without a care for the over 425,000 convicted criminals who are in our country, illegal immigrants. Not a care for those who are illegal immigrants. 56,000 who have drug convictions, 14,000 who've been convicted of burglary, 13,000 convicted of homicide. Over 16,000 who've been convicted of assault. This is who they have compassion for. What about having compassion for the American people, for the communities not only in our border states, but in every town and every city across the country that is being confronted with challenges, with increased crime, with less security, with social safety nets being stressed beyond their capacity. When I saw that Vice President Harris went to go visit the border on Friday, we all saw it for what it was. 38 days from Election Day. It's not okay to say better late than never. She doesn't get a pass on this one.
When I saw her give her press conference and her speech that was clearly read off of a teleprompter word for word, it made me sick, because it once again was a demonstration of her arrogance in lying directly to our faces, that after three and a half years of telling us that the borders are secure, she stands there and tells us that we have to have rules in place that must be enforced to secure our border, and that she as president will do that. She hasn't done it for the last four years, we shouldn't believe her lies that she will do anything differently. She's prosecuted and sued and gone after the governors of these border states who've taken action in the absence of federal leadership to do their part for their citizens to secure their borders. And they're still fighting to do that today.
Whether it's the border or just about every other challenge and issue that's facing not Republicans or Democrats, but all of us as Americans, it's clear that Kamala Harris and Joe Biden are not interested in solving problems."
