Kamala Harris Flip-Flops on Border Wall: A Deeper Look at Her Inconsistent Stance
Kamala Harris is back in the spotlight, but not for reasons you might expect. The Vice President, who once stood as a fierce opponent of Donald Trump’s border wall, now seems to have made a stunning U-turn. A recent campaign ad showcases Harris using images of the same wall she previously denounced, in an effort to prove her strength on border security. This flip-flop has sparked outrage from both sides of the political aisle. So, what’s behind this dramatic shift in policy?
Let’s dig into the details.
The Evolution of Harris’ Border Wall Stance
Kamala Harris, during Trump’s presidency, was one of the loudest voices opposing the border wall. In 2019, she famously called the wall “a monument standing in opposition to not just everything I value, but to the fundamental values upon which this country was built.” In her book The Truths We Hold, she referred to it as “useless” and a “medieval vanity project,” clearly positioning herself as a progressive advocate for a more compassionate approach to immigration.
But as 2024 approaches, Harris has shifted her tone. What was once a “medieval vanity project” has now become a symbol of her commitment to border security. In her latest campaign ad, Harris touts her record as a former prosecutor in a border state and even uses footage of Trump’s wall to demonstrate how “tough” she is on border issues. This isn’t just a subtle change—it’s a complete 180-degree flip from her previous stance.
Why the Sudden Shift?
What could be driving Harris to pivot on such a hot-button issue? The answer is simple: political survival. With the 2024 election looming and immigration becoming an increasingly important issue for voters, Harris seems to be adjusting her policies to appeal to a broader base. Polls show that many Americans, even some Democrats, are deeply concerned about the security of the U.S. border. By taking a tougher stance, Harris is hoping to neutralize one of her most significant vulnerabilities.
In an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash, Harris defended her shift, saying, “My values have not changed.” But for many, the question remains: How can you claim to hold the same values when your actions tell a different story?
Kaczynski’s Call-Out: Exposing the Inconsistency
CNN reporter Andy Kaczynski, known for his hard-hitting KFile investigations, wasn’t about to let this slide. He took to social media to point out the glaring inconsistency in Harris’ position. In a tweet, Kaczynski highlighted how Harris once vehemently opposed the wall, only to now embrace it in a bid for political points.
The Border Wall and Harris’ Record on Immigration
Harris’ latest ad not only features Trump’s border wall but also highlights her support for a Senate bill that would expand the wall and increase border security funding by $650 million. While the bill ultimately failed to pass, it marked a clear departure from her earlier positions, where she had opposed such measures.
Critics argue that Harris is now embracing policies that she previously condemned as “cruel” and “inhumane.” In 2019, Harris criticized Trump’s efforts to restrict asylum seekers and pledged that a Harris administration would restore fairness to the asylum process. Yet now, she’s supporting policies that limit the ability of migrants to seek asylum if they cross the border illegally.
What Does This Mean for Voters?
This flip-flop raises serious questions about Kamala Harris’ political integrity. As she positions herself for a potential presidential run in 2024, voters are left wondering whether they can trust her word. If Harris can reverse course on something as significant as the border wall, what other issues is she willing to change her mind on when it becomes politically convenient?
For conservatives, this is further proof of what many have believed all along—that Harris, much like many others in the Democrat Party, will say or do anything to get elected. Her record on immigration is now riddled with contradictions, leaving voters unsure of where she truly stands.
Final Thoughts: Can Harris Be Trusted?
The bottom line is that Kamala Harris’ inconsistency on the border wall is not just a political flip-flop—it’s a window into her true character. Whether it’s embracing policies she once denounced or trying to appeal to voters by aligning herself with positions she previously condemned, Harris’ latest moves reek of political opportunism.
As the 2024 election heats up, it’s important for voters to ask: Can we really trust someone who changes their stance so easily on such crucial issues? Will she stick to her values, or will she continue to bend to political pressures? These are the questions that should be at the forefront of every American’s mind as they head to the polls.
Harris may claim that her values remain the same, but actions speak louder than words. And right now, her actions are saying that she’s willing to compromise just about anything to win.

FLIP-FLOPPING, COMPROMISING POLITICIANS is the hallmark of any government devoid of an unchanging ethical standard (only available via the Bible’s immutable moral law) as its foundational ethical standard.
Case in Point: The biblically abominable Constitutional Republic born of the biblically seditious Constitution – that is, the capricious man-made Masonic and Enlightenment traditions of the constitutional framers.
There’s only one moral standard by which everything (including the Constitution) is to be ethically evaluated: By Yahweh’s unchanging morality as reflected in the Ten Commandments and their respective statutes and judgments. Anything else is merely fickle man’s capricious humanism – that is man doing what’s right in his own eyes, per Judge 21:25 – aka We the Peopleism.
When the Constitution is actually examined by the biblical standard instead of dead politicians’ cherry picked quotations, it’s found to be anything but biblically compatible. In fact, there’s hardly an Article or Amendment that’s not antithetical, if not seditious, to Yahweh’s sovereignty and morality.
For evidence, see free online book “Bible Law vs. the United States Constitution: The Christian Perspective,” in which every Article and Amendment is *examined* by the Bible, at bible versus constitution dot org. Click on the top entry on our Online Book page.
