**Corruption in High Places: Kamala Harris’s Choice for Labor Secretary Raises Alarms**
The Biden administration's continued embrace of controversial figures has sparked significant concern among Americans, particularly with Vice President Kamala Harris's unwavering support for Julie Su as Labor Secretary.
Su’s tenure as California's labor secretary was marred by an epic mishandling of the state’s unemployment benefits system, resulting in a staggering $32 billion lost to fraud during the pandemic.
Now, as speculation grows that she may retain her position in a future Harris administration, the implications of her past failures could pose a severe threat to national security.
During her time in California, Su ignored urgent warnings about vulnerabilities in the unemployment system, prioritizing political correctness over effective management.
Her hesitation to implement stricter ID verification standards was framed as a commitment to equity. However, it left the state's unemployment system wide open to exploitation by international crime syndicates, many of which are tied to foreign adversaries, particularly from China.
According to experts, a substantial portion of the stolen funds has likely been redirected to fuel criminal enterprises, including narcotics and human trafficking operations.
Former Senior Secret Service agent Paul Eckloff stated, "Nation-states and transnational criminal groups are using this money to fuel illicit narcotics, human trafficking, and activities that actively undermine our financial institutions and national security."
Su’s disdain for transparency in government has compounded her issues. She has evaded requests for documents regarding the pandemic-era fraud and has stonewalled congressional inquiries.
Her attempts to sanitize California’s bureaucratic response have raised eyebrows, with critics accusing her of bureaucratic cover-ups designed to protect her position rather than serve the public.
Adding to concerns is her recent visible backing from influential union leaders and her participation in high-profile Democratic events, where she presented radical enforcement policies targeting American businesses.
Harris’s ongoing patronage of Su underscores a troubling trend within the Democratic Party: putting loyalty and ideological alignment ahead of accountability and competence.
With Harris facing a competitive race for the presidency, her choices reflect a commitment to progressive ideals instead of the safe governance many Americans seek.
As the likelihood of a Harris-Su alliance looms, Americans are left to ponder the ramifications of such a pairing: could this lead to more ineffective leadership and a further erosion of trust in an already beleaguered government?
It’s evident that when it comes to addressing real issues impacting everyday Americans, the priorities of the current leadership may not align with the needs of the populace.
