Ahead of a planned visit to Mexico and Guatemala, Vice President Kamala Harris reiterated to reporters on Wednesday that she will not travel to the southern border, which continues to experience an overwhelming increase in migrants.
Harris said that Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is President Joe Biden s designated appointee for migration issues at the border, and that her purview is the sources of migration from Central America.
Since Biden took office in January, increases that began in President Donald Trump s final year have skyrocketed. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) recorded nearly 170,000 encounters with migrants on the southern border in March, its highest count in 20 years, according to CBP.

STEVE SCALISE:
There’s been a lot of interest going back to President Trump on getting a bipartisan infrastructure bill deal. Speaker Pelosi walked out of multiple meetings at the White House when Trump was president where he was trying to get a bipartisan agreement and then on this, they’re not talking to Republican leaders at all.
