Vice President Harris Appointed Border Czar
Biden Taps Harris to Oversee Growing Humanitarian Crisis
Harris Previously Introduced Policies to Support Middle Class
WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Biden has appointed Vice President Kamala Harris as the nation's "border czar," a role in which she will oversee diplomacy and efforts to address the growing humanitarian crisis on the U.S.-Mexico border. The appointment has drawn mixed reactions from Republicans, who have ironically nicknamed Harris the "border czar" due to her previous work in the area. Harris has been a vocal advocate for immigration reform and has introduced policies to support the middle class, such as a $3,000 refundable tax credit for those making $50,000 or less. In her new role, she will be responsible for coordinating with Mexico and other Central American countries to address the root causes of illegal immigration. Biden's decision to give Harris this significant portfolio is a sign of his trust in her abilities. The appointment comes as the Biden administration faces growing pressure to address the humanitarian crisis on the border, which has seen a surge in unaccompanied minors crossing into the United States.
