Kamala Harris already tried solving the root causes of Latin America’s northward migration crisis by throwing money at the problem. It didn’t work. It didn’t work so miserably that she can’t wait to try it again. She raised the cash but wasn’t allowed to spend it because the recipient countries were too “corrupt.” They’re just as corrupt now. That didn’t stop her from doing a little sales presentation dinner to raise more cash for another try.
Harris cashes in at dinner
After doing nothing for two years on her job of addressing the “root causes” of immigration, Kamala Harris went to dinner with a bunch of corporate bigwigs Monday night and did her best to make it their problem.
By the time she finished her death by chocolate cake, she had commitments for “$1.9 billion in private sector money for an economic opportunity in northern Central America,” Knewz reports.
What Harris was really chasing was something that looks good on television after one miserable failure followed by another, throughout her entire administration. She did it by doubling the pile of money she hasn’t been able to spend yet.
The move adds refinements to “Clintonomics” which Bill never dreamed of. Conservatives see it more like “Disaster Area” accounting.
Back in May of 2021, Harris came up with the scheme to tap “business and social enterprise money,” then funnel it to the underprivileged MS-13 cocaine soldiers in the jungles of the northern triangle.
The general idea was to “promote economic opportunity for people in the region to help ease the strain of mass migration in the U.S.”
Skim off the interest
She raised $1.2 billion in private sector money by December. Because Harris isn’t allowed to spend it in the corrupt countries, it’s now up to “more than $3.2 billion.” That seems to be a great incentive to get corporate America to invest.
They can make a commitment, bank the money and skim off the interest it earns while it waits for approval to be spent. Approval that will never get here when the police chief of all Honduras gets busted smuggling coke.
The administration doesn’t have a chance of stopping the invasion and don’t even want to try. Instead, they want to appear to be doing something while making others responsible for the inevitable ultimate failure.
Harris rounded up all the progressive CEOs and philanthropic leaders for a dinner meeting on the fringes of what was intended to be the Summit of the Americas in Los Angeles. Nobody of note bothered to show up.
A total of 10 liberal organizations agreed to open slush fund accounts with Harris and pledged relief once the corrupt officials get weeded out of their third-world dictatorships.
Most pledged to provide the total over a five year span. Agroamerica $100 million; COATL $35 million; Fundacion Terra $24.5 million; Gap Inc. $150 million; Millicom $700 million; Pantaleon $9.4 million; SanMar $500 million; Unifi $15 million; Visa $270 million; Yazaki $110 million.
