As critics turn up the heat on Kamala Harris, members of the media are now saying she was never the 'Border Czar.' In one case, Axios also went back to an article from years ago and corrected their story, saying they incorrectly referred to Kamala Harris as the border czar.
Fact check website Politifact reported on this situation too, saying the following:
"Border Czar Kamala Harris' reversal of President Trump's immigration policies has created an unprecedented and illegal immigration, humanitarian and national security crisis on our southern border," Trump campaign National Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told PolitiFact in a statement.
But Biden didn’t put Harris in charge of overseeing border security.
In a meeting with Harris in March 2021, Biden said Harris would lead U.S. diplomatic efforts and work with officials in Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras to stem migration to the U.S. Biden said that when he was vice president, he "got a similar assignment" and that the Obama administration secured $700 million to help countries in Central America.
