Vice President Kamala Harris just returned from Guatemala where she discussed the “root cause” of the post-election “surge” of “migrants” to our southern border. Harris said, “People leave home … because they don’t have opportunities there to fulfill their basic needs like feeding their children or keeping a roof over their head, or they’re fleeing some kind of harm.”
But the USA also faces a surge in crime, including homicide, in many American cities. Why aren’t we discussing this root cause? It cannot be because, as Harris says about migrants, people “don’t have opportunities there to fill their basic needs.” After all, these migrants come precisely because they see opportunity here that they do not see in their home countries.
