Controversy Arises Over Kamala Harris's Role as 'Border Czar,' 20 Million Illegal Immigrants Entered

Jul 24, 2024, 07:30 PM

A recent controversy has emerged regarding Vice President Kamala Harris's role in managing the U.S. southern border. Multiple media outlets and political figures are disputing whether Harris was ever officially designated as the 'border czar.' On March 24, 2021, President Joe Biden tasked Harris with addressing the migration challenge at the southern border, a role that many media outlets, including Axios, referred to as 'border czar.' Critics argue that under Harris's oversight, 20 million illegal immigrants entered the U.S., leading to significant national security concerns and other issues. Despite this, there are claims that her role was more focused on addressing the root causes of migration from Central American countries rather than directly managing border security. The debate has intensified as Harris's campaign for the White House heats up, with some media outlets now backtracking on their earlier reports, leading to accusations of rewriting history. Critics assert that Harris failed spectacularly in her role.
