Biden has not had any immigration-related events on his public schedule in the past two weeks. Harris, who is Biden’s point person to deal with what the White House described as the “root causes” of the border crisis, has only had two such events since March 30: a call with Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador on April 7 and a call with Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei on March 30.
FEDERAL WORKERS OFFERED PAID LEAVE TO TAKE CARE OF MIGRANT CHILDREN AT BORDER: REPORT
Harris said in late March that she will visit the southern border, but weeks later there is still no update on when that trip will happen.
Harris took heat in March for laughing when a reporter asked if she would be visiting the border amid the growing migrant crisis.
“Not today,” she said.
