Biden praises Harris for 'great job' on border despite taking months to get there
Fox News
President Biden backed Vice President Kamala Harris Thursday ahead of her trip to the US-Mexico border, telling reporters his besieged second-in-command has “done a great job so far” on the issue despite waiting more than three months to visit the beleaguered region.
Harris is scheduled to visit El Paso Friday alongside Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Lawmakers from both parties have implored Harris to visit the region since Biden tapped her to deal with the "root causes" of the migration crisis back in March. Following the announcement of Harris’ visit, Republican lawmakers accused the White House of sending her to an area that has been less affected by the crisis than the Rio Grande Valley, approximately 800 miles southeast of El Paso. "She’s going where the height of the problem isn’t," Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, told Fox News Wednesday.More Related News
