Kamala Harris Would Green Light Unlimited Illegal Border Crossings

In early 2021, President Biden tasked Vice President Kamala Harris with addressing a segment of the migration issue, a decision that has quickly become one of the newly-presumptive presidential nominee's major campaign challenges.

The confusion surrounding Harris's exact role, early media missteps, and the evolving regional migration crisis have made immigration a prime target for the GOP as they seek to define their new opponent. This issue has become even more pressing for Harris, who needs to establish a clear border message quickly. The administration's initial infighting, blame-shifting, and indecision regarding their border response have not helped her case.

The Trump campaign and Republicans have repeatedly labeled Harris as the "border czar," a title she never officially held. "Harris was appointed 'border czar' in March of 2021, and since that time, millions and millions of illegal aliens have invaded our country and countless Americans have been killed by migrant crime because of her willful demolition of America's borders and laws," Trump told reporters on Tuesday. House GOP Chair Elise Stefanik even introduced a resolution condemning the administration and its "Border Czar" for failing to secure the U.S. In defense of Harris, her supporters argue that she assumed a role similar to Vice President Biden's during the Obama administration, focusing on diplomacy with Central America, rather than direct border control. "She is not the border czar," former DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson told Fox News.

Immigration remains a top concern for U.S. voters, with a Gallup poll indicating that, for the first time in almost two decades, a majority of Americans believe there should be less immigration. A clear immigration stance could be crucial for Harris's campaign. The Biden administration has been on the offensive, blaming Republicans for blocking a bipartisan border deal and highlighting a decline in border numbers following a strict new executive action. Immigration advocates are optimistic about a potential Harris administration, viewing her as knowledgeable and invested in the issue, citing her work on behalf of Dreamers and immigration-related legislation in the Senate.

In March 2021, Biden appointed Harris to lead the administration's coordination with Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador, key sources of migration to the U.S. This announcement led to immediate confusion in the media and the White House about her level of involvement. The situation escalated into a full-blown humanitarian and political crisis as the border surge grew. The "border czar" narrative particularly stuck in conservative circles, with increasing calls in the spring of 2021 for Harris to visit the border. During her first overseas trip to Guatemala and Mexico, Harris's press conference message to migrants, "do not come," drew criticism from immigration advocates and was described as "awkward" by one former official.
