What is this obsession with "visiting the border?" Does anyone think that accomplishes anything? We spend hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars to fly staff over there, they wander around, say "yep, that's a border alright," and then fly home? So what? All the important work on the border can be done just fine from Washington, or at most by sending a trusted aide to check into things, much more affordable than sending a VIP. I think that if she does go, they should call up the President of Mexico, and have him head to some nice place on the other side of the border. Then bring a few official border checkpoint guards, whatever they need to make this officially within the rules, and go to just on the other wide of one of Trump's impenetrable border walls. Then Harris should climb over the wall (again, with an official border check involved), and have a state meeting with the Mexican President over various border issues, then when they finish, she climbs back over and flies home. I bet their President would love the idea.

@williammorris4327 I don't think you understand how the national debt works. The debt rose during Obama's term due to two things, the ongoing effects of the Bush era tax cuts, which put us on a deficit trend after Clinton's surplusses, and then necessary stimulus to offset the Bush economic collapse.Had he not spent that money, we would still be in a massive recession today. That is the responsible thing to do during a significant economic downturn, as it is the responsible thing to do this year. What was NOT responsible was what Trump did during his first term, which was to inherit Obama's rising economy, and decide to cut a massive tax cut to the extremely wealthy, paid for on the backs of the middle class, when the responsible play would have been to raise taxes on the wealthy to pay down the deficit.
Basically, he ran up the nation's credit card when we had money to pay it off, so that now, when we need to be putting money on the credit card to cover necessary expenses, we already have this huge balance. It's still better to keep running up that card than to do nothing though, unfortunately.
