The task of leading the Biden administration’s efforts to stem migration following the record number of migrants this year falls on Vice President Kamala Harris. This week, Harris introduced the strategy to tackle the root causes of migration. On Thursday, Harris unveiled the strategy the administration will be taking towards addressing the root causes of migration. The White House released a one-page letter from Harris, including a fact sheet referring to previous statements that show support for short-term relief for migration pressures while maintaining attention on long-term motivations that lead to people leaving their home countries. Harris noted that these efforts will not produce immediate results and that the US cannot address these root causes alone. Migrants from the Northern Triangle of Central American countries - Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador - have been showing up at the southern border in record numbers since US President Joe Biden and Harris took office in January. Mexico, Japan, South Korea, and the United Nations have also joined in the efforts to stem migration, according to Harris, who did not elaborate further.
