Kamala Harris tapped by Biden to lead border migration effort
WASHINGTON Vice President Kamala Harris will take the lead for the Biden administration on border and migration issues, the president said Wednesday, giving her a high-profile role on a controversial issue.
It s the first clear assignment for Harris since taking her job alongside President Biden, one that fits her expertise but also puts her in the center of a brewing political storm.
Biden announced Harris role coordinating diplomacy and border control efforts with Central America and Mexico in a meeting with his immigration officials at the White House. He pointed to Harris experience as California s attorney general working on human rights and combating organized crime, saying there was nobody who is better qualified for the job.
This looks like an assignment the Harris-haters in the Biden administration cooked up. The losers are the kids at the border.
