Immigration Disappears From Kamala Harris’ Public Schedule
Remember when Vice President Kamala Harris was the Biden administration’s point person on immigration. That has changed, according to Philip Wegmann for Real Clear Politics:
“[A]s the flow of migrants accelerates across the southern border, immigration has disappeared from the vice president’s public schedule.
A compilation of that schedule by the Los Angeles Times, reviewed by RealClearPolitics, shows that Harris has not hosted an immigration-specific event since last summer. . . .
White House officials dispute any characterization that Harris’ public schedule tells the whole story. `The vice president continues to lead implementation of the Root Causes Strategy and has been engaging with Cabinet and other Administration officials on this effort,’ Harris’ Press Secretary Kirsten Allen told RCP.”
Vice President Harris’s lack of action on immigration has gotten the attention of Fox News. Progressives also have lamented her lack of action on immigration and other critically important issues.
Immigration is a big issue in the mid-term elections. Focusing in no small part on tough immigration enforcement, for example, J.D. Vance won the Republican primary for Senate in Ohio.
