In the wake of recent claims that Vice President Kamala Harris was never appointed as the "border czar," it is essential to set the record straight. Contrary to some assertions, Harris was indeed tasked with leading the administration's efforts to address the root causes of migration from Central America to the U.S.
In March 2021, President Joe Biden announced that Vice President Harris would be taking on a significant role in managing the migration crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border. Biden stated that Harris would lead diplomatic efforts with Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras to stem migration to the southern border. This appointment was widely reported and acknowledged by various reputable news outlets at the time.

The mainstream media has been providing cover for Kamala Harris, making efforts to diminish her position as Border Czar due to the severity of the border crisis. This situation echoes the way in which the mainstream media influenced the narrative surrounding the Covid vaccine.

Politico (Mar 2021): Biden makes Harris the point person on immigration issues amid border surge - The role puts Harris front and center at one of the most politically risky issues for the White House.
-Vice President Kamala Harris will be the White House's point person on immigration issues at the nation's southern border, President Joe Biden announced Wednesday, tasking her with stemming the rising tide of migrants, many of them unaccompanied children, arriving in the U.S.
"I can think of nobody who is better qualified to do this," the president told reporters at the White House.
The role puts Harris front-and-center at one of the most politically risky issues for the White House as it struggles with an influx of migrant children at the southern border. Harris acknowledged this, saying there "is no question this is a challenging situation," but said that she would be looking forward to discussions with the leaders of the nations.
Harris' new responsibility is similar to one Biden had while he was vice president. He visited the region several times as more migrants from the three countries began to make their way en masse to the U.S.-Mexico border. Those efforts were seen as largely unsuccessful, and the situation in the countries has grown even more precarious.
The media is claiming that Kamala Harris was NEVER Biden's border czar.

Unfortunately for the regime, we have 𝕏.

It is worth noting that Harris's appointment as the "border czar" does not imply that she was solely responsible for the border situation. The complex issue of migration involves multiple agencies and departments, and Harris's role was primarily focused on diplomatic efforts.
Here we have more Before and After on what the media said at the time she was named and that same media saying that she wasn’t “Border Czar.”
Journalists were calling Kamala the border czar until like five minutes ago. Don't let the media gaslight you. pic.twitter.com/oveoFcBn4G

In conclusion, the claim that Kamala Harris was never appointed as the "border czar" is false. She was indeed tasked with leading the administration's diplomatic efforts to address the root causes of migration from Central America to the U.S. border.
