KAMALA Harris gave a joint speech with Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador today, promising a complete overhaul of the migration crisis – just a day after calling her trip to the border a “grand gesture.”
“In the United States we are tackling it from the perspective that not only we must address the root causes of migration, which is the primary purpose for my travels over the last two days and the work that we have been doing for the last couple of months,” the vice president said on Tuesday.
“But we also must tackle the issues that are inherent in the situation at the border. And what we must do to strengthen legal pathways for people to enter the United States,” she continued.
Earlier this week, Harris made comments alluding to the “grand gesture” that came with her southern border trip.
However, when asked if she declared the trip a success, she responded in the affirmative.
“Yes I do. It is success in terms of a pathway that is about progress. We have been successful in making progress.”
