When President Joe Biden charged Vice President Kamala Harris with addressing the roots of migration from countries such as Honduras and Guatemala, he made clear, speaking back in 2021, that he was asking her "to lead our diplomatic effort and work with those nations."
Republicans, however, are intent on misrepresenting Harris' task, labeling her the Biden administration's "border czar" and falsely claiming she was charged with fixing issues at the U.S.-Mexico border. In July, House Republicans, joined by a handful of Democrats, approved a resolution that repeats the claim and falsely asserts that the increasingly militarized southern border is "open."
