Kamala Harris says she can't get to Central America ‘soon enough'
[NY Post] "as soon as my staff researches and finds out where it is, we'll start thinking about scheduling a Zoom visit. In the meantime I'm giving the kids my Super Hero comic book at taxpayers' cost" Vice President Kamala Harris — who has been slammed for not visiting the southern border amid the surge of unaccompanied migrant children arriving in the US — on Sunday said she can’t get to Mexico and Central America "soon enough" to meet with leaders there. In an interview on CNN’s "State of the Union," she said has talked virtually with the presidents of Mexico and Guatemala — Andrés Manuel López Obrador and Alejandro Giammattei — but so far has not met them face-to-face. "And we have a plan to actually have another meeting coming up soon. We’re working on the plan to get there. We have to deal with COVID issues, but I can’t get there soon enough, in terms of personally getting there," Harris said. But the vice president did not say when she would tour the border. Harris argued that the US must address the root causes of why people flee their countries in the first place, saying we must "give people some sense of hope that if they stay that help is on the way."
