Biden taps Harris to stem migration from ‘Northern Triangle’












The role will represent the first significant item in the vice president's portfolio, and her involvement has the potential to elevate the issue within the White House and broader administration.
Calling her "the most qualified person to do it," Biden said Harris would "lead our efforts with Mexico and the Northern Triangle" -- El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala -- which, he said, "are going to need help in stemming the movement of so many folks -- stemming the migration to our southern border."
Harris will work along two tracks, senior administration officials said Wednesday: "stemming the flow of irregular migrants to the U.S." in the near term, and in the longer term, establishing a "strategic partnership" with Mexico and Northern Triangle countries "based on respect and shared values, to enhance prosperity, combat corruption and strengthen the rule of law."

"More broadly, though, she's going to be working to implement a long-term strategy that gets at the root causes of migration."

"I also look forward to working with members of Congress who I think share our perspective on the need to address root causes for the migration that we've been seeing," she said Thursday at the White House, before she and Biden discussed immigration with the secretaries of homeland security and health and human services, as well as other advisers.

When Biden previously served as vice president, then-President Barack Obama tasked him with taking the lead on a variety of domestic and international priorities, from shaping foreign policy on Iraq and Ukraine, to overseeing the implementation of the 2009 economic recovery act.
Until now, Biden had not tasked Harris with a similar, high-profile issue she could make her own.

"She's leading the effort, because I think the best thing to do is to put someone who, when he or she speaks, they don't have to wonder about, 'Is that where the President is?'" Biden said.
"When she speaks, she speaks for me," he said. "Doesn’t have to check with me. She knows what she's doing."
Harris will also work with Cabinet members like the secretary of state, as well as the administrator of the United States Agency for International Development and the U.S. special envoy for the Northern Triangle, an official said.

She is stepping into the role as the Biden administration struggles to balance its message that the U.S.-Mexico border is "closed" with its stated desire to find safe places for the minors who keep crossing the border unaccompanied by their parents. Federal facilities on the southern border have become overwhelmed with those minors.
In 2019, when the Trump administration was in the midst of enacting hard-line immigration policies, it also found U.S. facilities overflowing with migrants. That summer, President Donald Trump dispatched Harris' predecessor, Vice President Mike Pence, to tour U.S. Border Patrol facilities accompanied by cameras that captured packed, unsanitary conditions.

On Monday, a reporter asked Harris if she planned to travel to the border -- neither she nor Biden have done so since taking office.
"Not today," Harris said, laughing. "But I have before and I'm sure I will again."
