He even tried to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/new-caravan-marches-us-biden-promises-mass-amnesty\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">focus on an amnesty bill<\/a> during his first few months in office until he realized it was deader than dead upon arrival.

Her efforts on the &ldquo;root causes&rdquo; of migration in Northern Triangle countries produced little in the way of palpable results &mdash; and those didn&rsquo;t matter, anyhow, since the tides of illegal immigration soon shifted away from those countries and toward other nations, particularly the failed states of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/nba-team-jumps-haitian-immigrant-issue-silent-assassination-attempt-state\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Haiti<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/venezuelas-maduro-desperate-keep-power-bizarre-sounding-solution-christmas-october\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Venezuela<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Now, if Harris was a go-getter who realized that she&rsquo;d been handed a shovel and shown to an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.perseus.tufts.edu\/Herakles\/stables.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Augean stable<\/a> but that she should make the best of a bad situation and start cleaning it out, she could (and would) have done so.

Leavitt stated to PolitiFact that Harris&#8217;s reversal of President Trump&#8217;s immigration policies had led to an unprecedented crisis at the southern border. However, PolitiFact and other organizations quickly refuted this claim. They pointed out that while Republicans labeled Harris a failed border czar, she was actually tasked with addressing the root causes of immigration rather than overseeing border security directly.<\/p>\n<p>The New York Times clarified in July that President Biden never officially assigned her the title of &#8220;border czar&#8221; or gave her responsibility for enforcing policies at the U.S.-Mexico border. The term &#8220;czar,&#8221; often used in American politics to describe someone with broad but unofficial authority over a specific issue\u2014like drug or climate policy\u2014does not apply here since there is no formal position called &#8220;border czar.&#8221; The media emphasized that Harris&#8217;s role was limited and focused on addressing underlying issues rather than managing immediate border security concerns.<\/p>\n<p>According to reports from early in Biden&#8217;s administration, Harris was primarily seen as a liaison between business leaders and Central American economies, aiming to encourage investment and job creation in those regions. While some progress was noted by experts regarding these initiatives, they highlighted how vast economic disparities between Central America and the U.S. would take considerable time to address effectively.<\/p>\n<p>However, it&#8217;s important to scrutinize how this narrative has been framed: while it\u2019s true that her responsibilities were somewhat self-defined by Harris herself rather than explicitly outlined by Biden\u2019s administration, he did publicly assign her significant duties related to migration management during a March 2021 announcement where he praised her qualifications for leading efforts with Mexico and Northern Triangle countries.<\/p>\n<p>Despite not using the term \u201cborder czar,\u201d Biden implied she had substantial authority over handling migration issues at the southern border. This arrangement may have been convenient for him politically since it allowed him to distance himself from direct accountability on an increasingly complex problem without jeopardizing his own political standing.<\/p>\n<p>Harris appeared aware of this setup; instead of aggressively pursuing solutions as \u201cborder czar,\u201d she opted for minimal action on pressing issues related to illegal immigration\u2014a decision which ultimately left many problems unresolved as migration patterns shifted towards other nations like Haiti and Venezuela.<\/p>\n<p>In summary, while Vice President Harris may have held an informal title akin to \u201cborder czar,\u201d she faced constraints imposed both by progressive activists advocating for more lenient immigration policies and practical realities on ground-level challenges\u2014leading her toward a strategy characterized more by avoidance than proactive engagement<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2344466,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/harris-9.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[34478,3813,32438,5894,33462],"class_list":["post-2344465","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-border-czar","tag-immigration","tag-kamala-harris","tag-politics","tag-viral-video"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/harris-9.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2344465","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2344465"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2344465\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2344466"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2344465"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2344465"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2344465"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
