“But it is not just Democratic party leaders stating these talking points. It has also been the press. Many media sources reported last week that Harris was never the “border czar.” This is odd, because some of those same media sources, including NBC, the Associated Press, Politico, the Washington Post, and the New York Times largely stated otherwise in 2021. Politico reported that Biden made Harris the “point person on immigration issues” amid the border surge; NBC reported, “Biden tasks Harris with ‘stemming the migration’ on southern border”; and the Associated Press stated, “Biden taps VP Harris to lead response to border challenges.””
That's just a bunch of press snippets, none of which actually say that Harris had any authority or responsibility over the border (not even that she was a "border czar").
What authority or responsibility did Harris actually have over the border, such that she should have any blame for the management of the border?
