Remind us: who is Biden's border czar? We seem to remember that it's Kamala Harris—even if, after more than a year in office, she hasn't managed to make it to the actual border. Yet there was Tiffany Cross—a huge Harris fan—on her MSNBC show Saturday morning, in effect accusing Biden-Harris of a racist double-standard immigration policy favoring white Ukrainians over asylum seekers from Central America and Africa.

Cross teased the segment by asking, "What's up with this double standard?" She then brought on a guest to claim that "our immigration system has always been built on ideas of race," and that Border Patrol agents see non-Spanish-speaking whites as deserving of better treatment.

She also played a clip of CBS Evening News host Norah O'Donnell confronting DHS head Alejandro Mayorkas over the alleged double standard. Cross decried Mayorkas having told O'Donnell that he would tell Central American asylum seekers not to risk the "dangerous journey," but to instead follow other "pathways" that have been created.

Seeing a double standard there, Cross claimed:

When I do hear the secretary say that: "Do now take the dangerous journey, I wonder how that would sound to Ukrainians right now, facing what they're facing, and someone says, "Don't take the dangerous journey, stay there." And it's the same thing that these migrants coming from Central America are facing.
