Vice President Kamala Harris is traveling to Central America this week to discuss the “root causes” of the United States’ immigration crisis, but her team has already decided on the “main drivers” the Vice President plans to tackle with leaders in Guatemala and Mexico: “climate change” and “the economy.”
Harris, who was placed in charge of handling the ongoing immigration crisis at the United States’ southern border nearly three months ago, has focused her efforts on Central America rather than on overcrowding or other issues dogging United States Customs and Border Protection. Sunday evening, ahead of her trip, her staff released a message claiming “that climate and the economy were among the ‘main drivers’ of the surge in migrants that saw more than 178,000 migrants hit the border in April alone, a number that continued a spike in February and March,” per Fox News.
