Harris’s Appointment and Responsibilities

On March 24, 2021, President Joe Biden tasked Vice President Kamala Harris with leading the White House effort to address the migration challenge at the U.S. southern border. This appointment came as the administration faced increasing pressure to address the surge in illegal border crossings.

Harris’s assignment involved overseeing diplomatic efforts with Northern Triangle countries (El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras) and developing a long-term strategy to address the root causes of migration. The administration’s approach focused on boosting private investment in these countries to create jobs and dissuade migration.

Mounting Criticism and Failures

Despite the administration’s efforts, the border crisis has only worsened. Since the Biden-Harris Administration took office, over 8 million illegal aliens have been encountered at the southwest border, with over 1.6 million “gotaways.” In fiscal year 2023 alone, Customs and Border Protection agents encountered a record-high of nearly 2.5 million persons attempting entry along the Southwest border.

GOP critics have lambasted Harris for making only one brief visit to the U.S.-Mexico border in June 2021, despite her role as “Border Czar.” The House of Representatives even voted to condemn Harris’s handling of the border issue, with six Democrats joining Republicans in the vote.

White House Defense and Revisions

As criticism mounts, the White House has attempted to reframe Harris’s role. On July 25, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stated that Harris was not a “border czar,” contradicting the administration’s earlier statements. This revision has only fueled further scrutiny of Harris’s effectiveness in addressing the migration crisis.

Jean-Pierre claimed that border apprehensions are down by 55% due to the efforts of President Biden and Vice President Harris. However, this assertion contradicts the record-high border encounters reported by Customs and Border Protection.

Implications for the Future

The failure to meaningfully stem the tide of illegal migration under Harris’s watch as “Border Czar” raises serious concerns about the potential for another four years of rampant and unmitigated illegal immigration if she were to be elected as president in November. Her inability to effectively address this crisis calls into question her leadership capabilities and readiness to tackle complex national issues.

As the 2024 election approaches, voters will need to carefully consider whether the current administration’s approach to border security and immigration aligns with their values and expectations for the country’s future. The ongoing border crisis serves as a stark reminder of the importance of effective leadership and concrete solutions in addressing national challenges.
