Harris, while finally visiting the border, touts 'extreme progress' in tackling migrant surge
Fox News
Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday finally made her long-awaited trip to the southern border, after months of criticism for not visiting since being tapped to lead the efforts to end the crisis, touting what she called "extreme progress" by the administration on tackling the migrant surge.
Harris, who had come under intense criticism by both Republicans and Democrats for her failure to visit the border, toured a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) facility, a port of entry, and received an operational briefing on what is going on at the border. She also met with a number of migrants detained at the centers. Asked why she had made her first trip to the border now, Harris responded by noting that she had been to the border as a senator and claimed it was a natural extension of her recent trips to Guatemala and Mexico -- where she had in fact laughed off calls for her to go to the border and quipped that "I haven't been to Europe."More Related News
