In the face of Republican criticism, Vice President Kamala Harris heads to the border

EL PASO, Texas – After a barrage of criticism from Republicans for not visiting the southern U.S. border, Vice President Kamala Harris traveled to El Paso, Texas, on Friday to meet with migrants.

Harris will take a walking tour of a U.S. Customs and Border Protection processing center and will then meet with advocates from faith-based organizations and shelter and legal service providers.

“What happens at the border matters and is directly connected to what is happening in Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras. It is directly connected to the work of addressing the root causes of migration,” her senior adviser Symone Sanders said in a Thursday evening media call.
