In An interview on CNN’s “State of the Union,” He is said to have spoken virtually with the presidents of Mexico and Guatemala – Andres Manuel López Obredor and Alejandro Gematetti – but has not yet met him face-to-face.
“And we have plans to have another meeting really soon. We are working on a plan to get there. Harris said, we have to deal with COVID issues, but I can’t get there soon.
But the Vice President did not say when she would visit the border.
Harris argued that America should address the root causes of why people call their countries in the first place, that we should “give people some sense of hope that will help if they stay on that path.”

Back-to-back hurricanes and other natural disasters such as global warming.
She said that they are now going to have a virtual business mission and then visit a person later.
“We are making progress, but it is not providing evidence itself overnight. this will not happen. But it will be worth it, and I will tell you part of my point of view whether we have got to institutionalize the work and internationalize it, ”she said.
Harris said she is working with United Nations Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield to ask global bodies and other allies to join hands to stem the tide.
“Because, again, it’s about the Western Hemisphere. We’re a neighbor in the Western Hemisphere, and it’s also about realizing that we really have the ability to get there, if we’re consistent,” he said.
Harris then criticized former President Donald Trump’s handling of the border, saying the Biden administration had to work on rebuilding diplomatic relations.
“We have to rebuild it, and we have made it very clear to our team that this is an act of an American priority, and not just a function of whoever is to sit in this chair,” he said.
Harris said the White House has investigated the root causes of the immigrant crisis spread by “extreme weather conditions” that adversely affect agriculture in the region.
