Back from her debut international mission as US vice president, Kamala Harris caught flak from Republican critics accusing her of not taking the migration crisis seriously enough, but also from vocal progressives frustrated about border policy.
The two-sided pile-on reflects the protracted and difficult nature of America s immigration problem, which has vexed US administrations for decades.
But Ms Harris trip to Guatemala and Mexico, during which she appeared to flippantly respond to questions about why she has yet to visit the southern US border for an on-the-ground assessment, marks her biggest stumble yet since she became President Joe Biden s deputy.

Rep. Green Suggests Latin America as Manufacturing Option to Decouple From China
Green was recently named the ranking member of the Western Hemisphere Subcommittee in the House of Representatives.
“So, as as I contemplate what’s going on in Latin America, because of China’s commodity boom they came in and got the oil and the metals I realized that that created currency issues over the last 15 years for South America, Central America. And because their currency suddenly became very valuable to the Chinese, it became very inexpensive for them to buy Chinese manufactured goods,” Green told The Epoch Times’ “American Thought Leaders” program.
