The media that previously hailed Kamala Harris as the new “border czar” in April 2021 is now asserting that she was never actually responsible for addressing the surge of illegal immigration at the southern border. PolitiFact, a far-left source known for spreading misinformation, has recently come to her defense by stating that she was never designated as the border czar and was never tasked with reducing the influx of illegal immigration:
“Biden tasked Harris with addressing the root causes that drive migration to the United States. He did not task her with controlling who and how many people enter the southern U.S. border. That’s the Homeland Security secretary’s responsibility. Experts say that seeing the results of addressing root causes driving people out of Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras — violence, economic insecurity and corruption — takes time.”
We will begin to disprove that falsehood by referencing Joe Biden’s own statements… Here is the pertinent excerpt from Biden’s public address on March 25, 2021:

It is an undeniable truth that following Biden’s decision to task Harris with addressing the border crisis, which he intentionally caused, we have been informed that Harris is our designated “border czar” and that one of her primary responsibilities is to address the influx of migrants at the border.
