Vice President Kamala Harris has come under scrutiny for her handling of immigration and border security, with three mayors along the southern border expressing disappointment in her performance. Mayor Douglas Nicholls of Yuma, Arizona, described Harris' efforts in addressing the border crisis as virtually nonexistent.
President Biden tasked Harris with addressing the root causes of Central American migration, focusing on issues such as poverty and violence. In 2021, Harris visited Mexico and Guatemala and negotiated a deal that involved significant financial contributions from the U.S. and private companies to support Central American countries.
