“#VP Harris visits Pittsburgh on 90th day as migration czar<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday travel<\/a>ed to Pittsburgh on her 90th day as Biden administration illegal immigration czar \u2014 without yet booking a US-Mexico border trip \u2014 and amid her other roles including voting rights czar and point person on small business outreach, among others.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Harris visited swing state Pennsylvania to plug the recent expansion of child tax credits and to promote union membership as part of the roughly half-dozen other assignments vying for her attention amid a migrant surge that set a 21-year record with over 170,000 crossings a month.<\/p>\n

Harris is scheduled to talk about the tax credit expansion, app<\/a>roved in March as part of President Biden\u2019s American Rescue Plan Act, before helping lead a roundtable discussion as part of the Biden administration\u2019s Task Force on Worker Organizing and Empowerment.<\/p>\n

Harris has been dogged by questions about not visiting the US-Mexico border to see the effects of the migration crisis \u2014 saying she is focused only on the \u201croot causes.\u201d<\/p>\n

The vice president\u2019s trip this month to Guatemala and Mexico was dominated by her struggle to answer questions about the lack of a border visit \u2014 saying she would go eventually while justifying her non-visit by saying it would just be a \u201cgrand gesture\u201d and that she\u2019s from California so she already knows the border issue.<\/p>\n

Reporters from the Associated Press, CNN and NBC News<\/a> pressed Harris during press conferences on the trip about when she would travel to the border, and during an interview on the trip with NBC anchor Lester Holt, she laughed when asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been to the border. So this whole thing about the border, we\u2019ve been to the border,\u201d Harris said, to which Holt replied, \u201cYou haven\u2019t been to the border.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harris, seeming to laugh at her own joke, responded: \u201cAnd I haven\u2019t been to Europe. And I mean, I don\u2019t understand the point that you\u2019re making. I\u2019m not discounting the importance of the border.\u201d<\/p>\n

Critics argue that Biden administration policies are to blame for the surge in\u00a0migration\u00a0\u2014 a\u00a0stance\u00a0also taken by Guatemala\u2019s president\u00a0as well as\u00a0Mexico\u2019s president\u00a0\u2014 and say that he and Harris should see the effects of the crisis on border agents and\u00a0migrants.<\/p>\n

Harris\u2019 other political priorities, meanwhile, have filled up her schedule.<\/p>\n

The VP on Friday visited Atlanta to promote two other initiatives: encouraging COVID-19 vaccination to wary African Americans with stops at the Ebenezer Baptist Church and the historically black Clark Atlanta University before putting on a different hat and speaking against GOP election reforms at the school as part of a voting rights push.<\/p>\n

Biden also has tasked Harris with leading the National Space Council and with promoting the expansion of broadband internet. The ex-California senator also has played a major role in pushing for more than $4 trillion in proposed legislation as part of Biden\u2019s infrastructure and social<\/a> spending plans. Last week, she hosted the women of the Senate at her residence \u2014 but policy was not on the menu. <\/p>\n

The number of US-Mexico border detentions soared to a 21-year monthly high of\u00a0more than 180,000\u00a0in April. More than\u00a0172,000 people were detained in March.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
