Vice President Kamala Harris has apparently disappeared from leading any public events on migration — dodging one of the responsibilities bestowed upon her by the president — for over seven months, a Daily Caller analysis found.
The last time Harris led an event on migration was on June 7, 2022, when she announced nearly $2 billion in additional funding to address the “root causes” of migration. She has not led a migration event since and did not accompany President Joe Biden on his first trip to the border, according to a Daily Caller analysis of White House public statements.
In December, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said she didn’t have any updates on what Harris has been doing on migration. Harris’ office did not respond to an inquiry from the Daily Caller posing the question, “has she done anything on migration” since June?
Instead of Harris tackling illegal migration issues, White House public statements show her attention visibly shifted to abortion, diplomacy and diversity events in the second half of 2022.
A large part of Harris’ summer was spent pushing abortion rights after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in May and speaking to state leaders across the country about reproductive rights. Since her last migration related event, Harris had at least 28 meetings with various leaders about reproductive rights, including with Latina state legislators and disability rights leaders.
Harris’ abortion efforts were accompanied by meetings with foreign leaders. In the last seven months, she met with the presidents of Mexico, France, South Korea, South Africa and Moldova; traveled to South Korea, Thailand, the Philippines and Japan; spoke with leaders of the Pacific Islands, Nigeria, and the Caribbean, the president of Guyana, and the prime ministers of Canada, Australia, South Korea, Japan, Poland, Jamaica and Lithuania. She also participated in the U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit.
She also participated in at least 10 events for the Democratic National Committee (DNC), held events as the chair of the National Space Council, and advertised the administration’s legislative agenda — like the Inflation Reduction Act — across the country. Other Harris events include those on climate, LGBT rights, and a flurry of Democratic campaigning before the midterms.
Biden appointed Harris to lead the migration efforts of the administration in March of 2021, saying, “it’s not her full responsibility and job, but she’s leading the effort.”
“I’ve asked her, the VP, today — because she’s the most qualified person to do it — to lead our efforts with Mexico and the Northern Triangle and the countries that help — are going to need help in stemming the movement of so many folks, stemming the migration to our southern border,” Biden said at the time.
The Biden administration has experienced record numbers of illegal immigrant encounters, with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) recording 250,000 encounters in December — the highest in history. Several CBP agents have committed suicide amid the record numbers, and the U.S. is undergoing a fentanyl epidemic due to the drug being smuggled across the border.
On Jan. 5, before Biden’s trip to the border, the president said he was “proud” of Harris for securing $3.2 billion in private sector funding for Central America. Harris did not participate in the remarks on the administration’s border strategy, and just jumped in to fill in for Biden’s gaffes.
Vote for Rats, the best you can expect is nothing.
I’d like to collect the 2 billion dollars please. The root cause for the illegal immigration is the fact that we don’t have a wall and the government has turned a huge magnet on to suck these people over the border.
Overridden by the 12th.

I don’t think they will impeach Biden. This is to take him out of running in 2024.
She may not be a stupid as we think.
She is staying out of sight while Joe self destructs, a little bit every day.
Plus, Hunter’s Laptop From Hell will soon be on the major news networks and Joe will be gone...................
Kamala who?
No way....Newsome will be the Pres candidate and she will NOT be his VP. She is not liked at all...and the party knows it. She does and knows “0” about anything political. She’s a prosecutor and no more.
Manchurian Candidate School of Democrats, that’s where.
That is a very good point. And that is why the size of the state matters. Let’s say a president and vice presidential candidate were coming out of Wyoming and it so happened that the electors from that state had to be DQ’d. Big deal.
But Texas, California or Florida would be too big of a risk. And that is why it would not be a good idea for Kamala/Newsom or Trump/DeSantis.
That name sounds familiar..
There ain’t enough prep in the known universe. But that’s because we have to do what we do today because it isn’t yesterday and it isn’t tomorrow yet but today. And, let us not forget taking the yellow school bus to the caribbean. Which is in the western hemisphere. The same as we are. And they are our neighbors. And they are our friends. Today.
Nah .. they are building her automaton replacement.
equipped with lazars.. programed to kill right wingers on sight.
FReeper pepsionice made a good point that if Joe resigns and Harris ascends to the POTUS, the Senate would vote on the new VP candidate, and would not have that limitation on their votes.
But if they chose to run for reelection as that same team, then it might become a problem................
She was in Michigan for some conference a few days ago, and I saw excerpts of her discussion with Jennifer Granholm. Lord, Kamala sounded more scatter-brained than ever. I can only find full videos, not just the parts, so I won’t expect anyone to suffer through the whole thing, unless you choose.
The Dipshitinator?
Who?
The root cause for the illegal immigration is the U.S. government refusal to combat the invasion occurring at the border. If it had done so in the beginning, there never would have been a need to construct any walls.
