The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

LurkerMom: I’m sure President Trump will be making a big deal over the Border Czar’s horrible failure
controlling the border...


Harris wasn't "Border Czar" and wasn't ever tasked with "controlling the border". President Biden tasked Harris with leading the administration's diplomatic campaign to address the "root causes" of migration from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, including poverty, corruption and violence.

Harris was not asked to be the administration's "border czar" or to oversee immigration policy and enforcement at the U.S.-Mexico border. That has mainly been the responsibility of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and his department, which oversees the country's main three immigration agencies, including Customs and Border Protection.

Harris focused on convincing companies to invest in Central America to promote democracy and development there through diplomacy. This year, Harris secured a commitment from the private sector to invest over $5 billion to promote economic opportunities and reduce violence in the region.

In short, she succeeded. She's done exactly what she was asked to do.
