Summary
This is not happening in a vacuum and it is not just to go and see," said Symone Sanders, Harris' chief spokesperson.President Joe Biden announced in March that he was tasking Harris with leading diplomatic efforts to address the root causes of migration from Central America amid a rising number of people — many of them unaccompanied children — arriving at the U.S. southern border seeking asylum.The assignment thrust Harris into the center of a divisive issue that has vexed lawmakers for decades, and the potential for political fallout sent aides close to her scrambling to clarify that the vice president was not directly responsible for the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border.Republicans were quick to call Harris the "border czar," and they launched a fresh wave of attacks at her earlier this month during her first foreign trip to Mexico and Guatemala after she defended her decision to not yet visit the border in an interview with NBC.
