Did Kamala Harris Fail as 'Border Tsar?' Trump's Campaign Ad Blames Harris for US-Mexico Border Failures.

Trump's first campaign ad against Kamala Harris focused on blaming her for failures at the US-Mexico border, labeling her the "border tsar" despite her role focusing more on addressing the root causes of migration. President Biden tasked Harris with dealing with issues like violence, poverty, and corruption that drive immigration from Central America's Northern Triangle region of Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador. Harris helped raise $5 billion in private funds for economic development in the region but some argue this had limited impact compared to migrant remittances. Border crossings reached record highs during her tenure. The long-term solutions needed to address the root causes of Central American migration face huge challenges and would require sustained investment over many years.
