(Nicholas Sherman) Criticism centers on Harris being appointed by President Biden to address immigration surge at southwest border but not visited region.
Related Kamala Harris Visits The Border

Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday arrived at the southwest U.S. border, three months after being appointed Biden administration border immigration czar.
“I said back in March I was going to come to the border,” Harris said after arriving in El Paso, Texas. “This is not a new plan.”
She said her effort is a two-pronged approach – identifying the root cause of the immigration surge at the border and looking at the effect.
In El Paso, Harris will visit a migrant processing center, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection facility and is expected to talk with immigrants and members of charity groups, according to CNN.
This is Harris’ first trip to the border after being appointed by Biden in March to address the surge of illegal immigrants, particularly unaccompanied minors.
The vice president in recent weeks made a trip to Guatemala and Mexico, but she has faced criticism, even from within her own party, about having yet to tour the border.
The number of immigrants at the southern border typically surges in the spring, but this year has been especially high, in part because of administration policy toward unaccompanied minors.
In May, CBP encountered more than 180,000 illegal migrants at the southern border with Mexico.
“At some point, you know, we are going to the border,” Harris said in an interview with NBC News two weeks ago while in Guatemala investigating the root causes of the immigrant surge.

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
