Harris blames Republicans for border crisis: 'Unwillingness to engage in any meaningful reform'

Vice President Harris told NPR in an interview published Monday that Republicans were to blame for lack of action on immigration and the border crisis.

Harris, who was tapped by President Biden to address the root causes of the border crisis and effectively became the "border czar" in 2021, told NPR that the White House plans to increase technology and provide more agents to help at the southern border.  Hanna Panreck is an associate editor at Fox News.

"I think that there is so much that needs to happen to address the issue," she told the outlet before adding, "Reform of our immigration system can only happen through Congress in terms of the passage of an immigration bill that allows for a legal pathway to citizenship and a legal presence in the country."
