Her rambling word-salads don't indicate any of what you asserted about her. Her total lack of action as Border Czar doesn't either.

Not only for his running mate: "Women of color are the core": Biden challenged to pick a black woman as running mate
He did the same thing for picking a SCOTUS justice: https://www.politico.com/news/2020/06/30/biden-black-female-supreme-court-nominees-345622
And if you look at his cabinet members, the same DEI criteria was used (had to have a gay guy, more blacks, a man dressed like a woman, etc.), and the incompetence has been overwhelming.

There are no "word salads" in the speeches she has been giving lately, and she never was called a "border czar" by anyone except her critics. She was never assigned any task to "get the border under control" or do something to change anything there, so it made no sense for her to take a trip to the border at that time. Instead, Biden gave her a purely diplomatic mission to look at the "root causes" of the migration, which she did with limited success. That involved high level meetings in Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. She had discussions with leaders and met with immigration groups in Guatemala, telling the "don't come" to America. Her best success was in establishing cooperation with Mexico, but the other Latin American governments were unwilling to help. It was a daunting task in the early days of the administration.
The Biden administration made the most progress in Congress, especially with her help, and a strong bipartisan bill was on the verge of passage. However, it was Donald Trump himself who ordered Republican leaders to back away from their own bill, which they did. His rationale was that he did not want Biden to achieve any progress on resolving the border crisis, so Biden had to resort to presidential orders. He has managed to cut down the flow of immigrants to a point where it is lower than it was when Trump left office.
See:
Biden asked Harris to tackle the 'root causes' of migration. Here's what happened after that.

Wow. Where to start with this.
You guys are really gonna run with this racist "DEI hire" stuff still, eh? You think that's gonna fly in the year 2024?
Look at the human beings you've listed here, and look what you've attempted to reduce them to:
-"a gay guy"
-"more blacks"
-"a man dressed like a woman"
So, you obviously think that "a gay guy," "more blacks" and "a man dressed like a woman" aren't equipped to hold important jobs. Clearly you think they were hired for the list of things you've reduced them down to, right? That everyone views them as you do - by the colour of their skin, their gender or their sexual orientation. That's all people really are to you?
So what is it that you're trying to say here? That only white males are capable of carrying out important jobs? That gay people can't handle it? That "more blacks" can't handle it?
Is that your big point here?

Wow, way to not actually engage in the post and just resort to claiming racism. Biden himself said he was going to nominate a black woman for supreme court justice. Men, or other races need not apply. What do you call that if not DEI hire or some kind of affirmative action. The fact is Jackson was nominated partly because she met the criteria of being a black woman and men and other races were excluded from consideration. This is what we are objecting to, not that she is black and we hate blacks. Sheesh.

"And if you look at his cabinet members, the same DEI criteria was used (had to have a gay guy, more blacks, a man dressed like a woman, etc.),"
And the assumption here is that DEI and affirmative action are bad? Is that what you are saying?

Yes, it is discriminatory. With Jackson's nomination no male or any other female minority was going to get the job based on their gender and ethnicity. How is that good? It is amazing to me the left discriminates on gender and ethnicity and calls it justice. It is just one example of the loony ideology the left has that people are getting fed up with.
I think there are enough white men on the Supreme court, now and throughout history. And it is good to have a variety of viewpoints and perspectives. I think that is good, particularly in positions of power. Go ahead, call me loony. To me that is worth a dollar.

Or maybe the lack of understanding that if you have multiple qualified candidates look at other characteristics to improve your team such as diversity. LOL

To me it is blatant discrimination.

Comedian Jon Stewart suggests a fair solution for Republicans who don't like her:
Jon Stewart gives Republicans an option if they don't like Kamala Harris
Jon Stewart gives Republicans an option if they don't like Kamala Harris

I already said. Against males and any female not black. They were not going to be considered because of their gender and race. Biden said so.
Always about race & sex to you guys.
How about some intellectual & philosophical
diversity, eg, atheists, libertarians.
6 of 9 justices are Catholic. Would it really be
DEI to pursue more black & female Catholics
& other Christians & Jews?
They're just giving us the same old same old
with different complexions & lavatory preferences.

LOL, it is not discrimination if I look at a pool of qualified applicants and pick the one that will add diversity to my team so as to increase the perspectives brought to the job. Particularly useful in situations requiring developing a widely applicable consensus.
