VP Harris was not made "border czar". That's made up.
She WAS put in charge of addressing the root causes of migration from Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala and Mexico. A targeted but important task.
1/ And I got my hands on some data about the results that you need to see.

1/ And I got my hands on some data about the results that you need to see.
2/ First, what did VP Harris do? She created something called The Partnership for Central America, and convinced 56 companies to invest more than $5 billion to bolster Central American economies to address the causes of economic migration.
3/ She regularly met with leaders from Mexico and the Northern Triangle countries to slow down the human trafficking cartels and invest in public safety in areas where high crime drove migrants to the U.S.
4/ Here are Harris's results.
From 2021-23:
- Hondurans encountered at the border dropped by 50%
- El Salvadorian encounters dropped by even more - 60%
- Migration from Guatemala dropped by 50%.
- And even Mexican migration - the steadiest flow - dropped by 6%.

5/ Vice President Harris was given a nearly impossible task, and in just two years she helped drive a massive decrease in migration from Central America, and a meaningful decrease from Mexico.
Those are the (stubborn) facts.
