Vice President Kamala Harris has revealed her strategy to address the root causes of illegal crossing amid the border crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border.
The Root Causes strategy aims to establish a fair, orderly, and humane immigration system while acting to improve security, human rights, and economic condition in the region, according to a White House press release.
The strategy has also noted that the ongoing pandemic and weather conditions have worsened the root causes of migration, such as corruption, violence, trafficking, and poverty.
The plan has five major cores. However, it does not specify a detailed timeline or policy actions to be taken.
