Right-Wingers Who Demanded Kamala Harris Visit the Border Are Now Mad She's Going

Republican officials and right-wing media stars have lobbed withering and unrelenting criticism at Vice President Kamala Harris for not visiting the southern U.S. border after President Joe Biden tapped her to lead up the administration’s response to the migrant crisis.

However, now that she announced that she plans to go to the border on Friday, many of those same conservatives are angry over her visit, calling it a “complete mistake” and complaining that she is not going to where they believe the “height of the problem” exists.

Weeks after her two-day trip to Guatemala and Mexico to explore the “root causes” of the migration problem only amplified the criticism of her refusal to visit the border—largely due to her dismissive “I haven’t visited Europe” remarks—the veep’s office confirmed Harris will finally head to the U.S.-Mexico border.

“Earlier this year, the President asked the Vice President to oversee our diplomatic efforts to address the root causes of migration from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras,” spokesperson Symone Sanders said. “As a part of this ongoing work, the Vice President traveled to Guatemala and Mexico earlier this month and will travel to El Paso on Friday.”

The root of the problem is that people want to leave their home countries. Get things better for them in their countries, and they'll stay there. Harris went first to the places where the problem can be most effectively and humanely solved.

Not focusing on the root of the problem and, therefore, letting the migration problem get worse is 100% the fault of Trump and Trumpist Republicans.
