Washington – Vice President Kamala Harris is going to the U.S.-Mexico border with Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Friday for her first trip to the border since being tapped to stem the flow of migration from Central America, the White House said Wednesday.
President Biden has tasked Harris with addressing the root causes of increased migration at the southern border, but Republicans have criticized Harris for failing to go to the border until now. Harris visited Guatemala and Mexico earlier this month, and when she was asked why she wasn’t visiting the border during a television interview, she compared not visiting the border to not visiting Europe.
Why is she going now? Maybe this is the reason.
Harris will travel to El Paso, Texas, senior adviser Symone Sanders said in a statement. Politico first reported the upcoming trip.

When she was in Guatemala earlier this month on her first trip abroad since taking office, Harris discouraged would-be migrants from making the trek to the United States.
“I want to be clear to folks in this region who are thinking about making that dangerous trek to the United States-Mexico border,” Harris said during a press conference with Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei. “Do not come. Do not come. The United States will continue to enforce our laws and secure our border.”
Conservatives have relentlessly attacked Harris for not visiting the border. Earlier this month when pressed about why she hadn’t visited yet, she said, “I haven’t been to Europe either.”
White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Wednesday there was always a possibility that Harris would visit the border.
“I will note that I’ve also said here from this podium and she has also said, that when it was the right time, she may go to visit the border,” Psaki said.
Harris’ trip will be just days before former President Donald Trump visits the border with Texas Governor Greg Abbott and a group of House Republicans.

The only reason this Hussey Harris is finally going to the border is because President Trump accepted a invitation by Texas Governor Greg Abbott to visit the border and witness how overwhelming and disastrous the Biden/Harris administration supported illegal immigrant invasion has become. 🙁 🙁 🙁
And we all know she won’t change a thing because they’re the ones that wanted this… Got to get those voters somehow!
Exactly. yET THE white house believes WE WILL buy the lie “THIS IS not cause of trump”..
Notice she’s going to El Paso, where immigration problems are small, NOT to southern Rio Grande valley where THOUSANDS invade daily, and REAL problems exist! AND, she wasn’t going there ’til Trump said HE would! Also, note that many illegals are immediately being bussed to other states (WITHOUT notice to those state governments!), and dumping them, for those states to cover all costs!
Should photogs go south and record thousands of children being held there, they could accidentally excite the sheeple of the US, and awaken their groggy minds blurred by lap-dog liberal media who somehow, and so far, have managed to exclude such pictues!
I did note that.. MAYBE that’s where she was TOLD to go.
Oh, she has to go now—the Trumpster is making an appearance next week, so she has to get down there and get her explainings-away all lined up to refute anything that Trump says. Photo op, PR stunt, and political cya.
Hee hee heeehhh. I am no where near the border but I am in the state, I thnk. hee hee heeehhhh.
The media makes it sound like it’s going to be a Kamala Harris social border democrat deliverance version like in the movie Deliverance, with Kamala playing the part of alpha male, arrow shooting Burt Reynolds who is in a constant state of trying to prove himself, where the flood of illegals overwhelms and hides the real crimes committed like the impending flood waters of the dam that is about to be built in the movie resulting in another coverup. The only thing missing is speechless brain-dead Joe Biden playing the Banjo playing kid, to the sexual assaults that in real life are happening every day by the smugglers as corrupt and perverted as the hillbilly bootleggers in the movie. In the Harris version the party bootlicking bootleggers win in the end, and some get to run as Democrats for President come next election.
¡Ole!
Hui, hui!
“Oh, that wasn’t a Border’s Book Store!”
Texas has a very long border with Mexico. She’s not going to the hotspot in the Rio Grande Valley, she will be about 800 miles away from it, She will probably be closer to Los Angeles than the area where the worst problem is taking place.
AND with both the police escort AND SECRET SERVICE surrounding her, she won’t see ANY OF THE ACTUAL IMPACT of mass illegal invasion of our nation…
She should definitely be replaced as the border czar. If Biden has half a brain he would assign that task to the best person available: Donald Trump
Do you by chance, have an electron microscope, to FIND THAT brain biden supposedly has?
Why? So she can just laff herself silly, what a waste of time. Her laughter is plainly just a defense mechanism to brush aside her ignorance and lack of any expression that could be construed as having any meaning or moral value. “The way of a fool is right in his/her own eyes”, Proverbs 12:15
Could they have transplanted Hillary’s brain in her. That cackle sounds familiar
Why does the hyena go to El Chuco (El Paso) cause that is the more likely place she might be welcomed by another do nothing about the border crisis border problem – orouke a wild dog. Neither one will actually do anything except give illegal invaders more hope to jump the border. Will probably backtrack on her previous “do not come” cause her being in El Paso she can say “I came”
YEAH, BUT THIS HUSSY IS GOING TO EL PASO, WHERE THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM. And she will probably take all the communistic general media, lot’s of her style politicians, take plenty of pictures of nothing, then claim “what is all the fuss about”?????.
She refuses to go where the real deadly problems are, like Mcgallen, which is basically the worse. she would not dare to go there, as that would prove just how much of an incompetent liar she really is. But that is where President Trump will be going, as he is not afraid of telling the truth, like a real American should
We all know she isn’t going to do anything to help. Her and Obama’s Oh yeah Biden’s plan is to let the Illegals pour in for as long as they can no matter how bad it hurts the country. There will be countless crimes and deaths as a result but these frauds [the entire Democrat party] don’t care about Americans.
“…MAY go visit…” Handling the border crisis was not an actual work assignment. It was just a way to get people off of Joe’s back. Is she bringing enough of her face cookies for everyone?
I would’t eat those cookies, if i was starving!
