In March 2021, President Joe Biden tasked Vice President Kamala Harris with working alongside officials in Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras to address the issues driving people to leave those countries and come to the United States.
The Biden-Harris administration said it would focus on five key issues: economic insecurity, corruption, human rights, criminal gang violence and gender-based violence.
Border security and management is the Homeland Security secretary’s responsibility.
Yeah I thought someone posted the article where it explicitly referred to her as “border czar”. I’ll see if i can find it.
Fwiw, iirc outside of another hypocritical attack vector for the right, it never “meant” anything but that she was heading up committees or some such.
Ah.

So, just the usual GOP lying to mindwipe their base.
Thanks!
Oh yeah it’s not a formal appt or title for sure, and GQP attacks on her immigration record are very disingenuous
