Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban has joined a list of venture capitalists supporting Vice President Kamala Harris in her presidential bid.
This latest move follows Cuban’s backing of President Biden’s reelection before it was torpedoed following the first presidential debate. Despite Biden’s declining approval ratings and potentially foreshadowing what was to come, Cuban doubled down on his support for the beleaguered president, saying he would vote for Biden “being read his last rites.”
Shortly after Cuban was linked to the venture capitalists for Kamala, he paradoxically praised the Border Czar for her commitment to enshrining an open border into law as the “only candidate to commit to a detailed border security plan.”
The “plan” that Kamala has agreed to pursue isn’t technically hers, it’s just a pledge to rerun the illegal immigration measure that failed to pass the U.S. Senate last spring. Conservative members of the Senate and Republican voters rejected the bill as an enshrinement of an open border into law.
The proposal empowered the President to close the border if illegal alien encounters rose above rolling average thresholds of 4,000 over seven days and compelled closure if daily encounters averaged 5,000 over the same timeframe.
That’s the opposite of a closed border, it’s an open border to the tune of 1.8 million illegal aliens per year.
Public polling in Texas for the past two decades has consistently featured border security and illegal immigration as top concerns. Recent polling, by Gallup, has shown a massive uptick in the number of Americans who want immigration to decrease. Note, that’s not illegal immigration but immigration overall. The inflection point on the graph where the decrease and increase head in opposite directions is May 2020.
