Harris visits US-Mexico border amid criticism on immigration
Al Jazeera
The Biden administration is facing mounting scrutiny over its handling of a surge in migration at the border.
Vice President Kamala Harris arrived in Texas on Friday to meet migrants and visit a border patrol facility on the US-Mexico border in an effort to counter claims from Republicans that she has been too slow to visit the region as part of her role in addressing the root causes of immigration. The trip, Harris’s first to the border since becoming vice president five months ago, was announced on Wednesday and is happening days before a visit to the border by former President Donald Trump. “I said back in March I was going to come to the border, so this is not a new plan,” Harris told reporters shortly after landing. “Coming to the border … is about looking at the effects of what we have seen happening in Central America.”
