Vice President Kamala Harris’ was tasked by President Biden with dealing with the crisis at the US-Mexico border, but now she’s distancing herself from that crisis she cannot solve. Harris’ team explained that Harris isn’t supposed to be dealing with the border, that this was never her job. Instead, she’s meant to handle the “root causes” of migration. For Harris, those include climate change and violence against LGBTQ people.
White House reporter Natasha Bertrand told CNN that Harris’ “team has come out and said publicly: ‘Look, we do not own the issues at the border, we are not managing the issues at the border, this is for the Secretary of Homeland Security, this is for the people on the NSC who are dealing explicitly with this issue in the United States. The Vice President is going to be dealing exclusively with diplomacy.'”

Harris’ team “has emphasized that she’s going to be focused more on diplomatic efforts, on dealing with the leaders of those countries and trying to get at the root causes of why people are leaving these countries to begin with.”
