Kamala Harris, Vice President of the United States, is being criticized for her lack of interest in the Southern Border Migrant Crisis. This is despite her responsibility to be the nation’s border czar.
Critique of social media exploded even after Whoopi Goldberg (an ABC host on “The View”) Monday announced that Harris would be appearing on the show on Friday.
Bruno Lozano (Democratic mayor of Del Rio in Texas), where approximately 10,000-15,000 migrants were sheltering under a bridge connecting Mexico and Texas, criticized Harris Saturday for attending a football match featuring Howard University.
“The VP is able to visit the fun events across the country, while American communities continue to grapple with failed immigration reform. Where is the visit to Del Rio, TX?,” he tweeted.

Harris was also attacked Monday by the Republican National Committee.
Tommy Pigott was the RNC’s rapid-response director. He focused on Harris’ visit to Washington’s Audi Field in order to flip the coin that began Saturday’s match between Howard University and Hampton University.
“To put the border crisis in perspective, let’s compare the numbers Customs and Border Protection has reported to the capacity of Audi Filed,” he said in a memo, the Washington Examiner reported.
“Audi Field holds 20,000 people. You could fill 60 Audi Fields with the over 1,200,000 border encounters reported since February 1; Almost the entire stadium with the over 18,000 unaccompanied children picked up by border patrol in August alone; 10 Audi Fields with the over 208,000 border encounters just last month; 3 Audi Fields with the over 60,000 illegal immigrants encountered in August not from Mexico or the Northern Triangle.”
“If Harris doesn’t care about the border, why is she still border czar?” he added. “Her priorities are stunningly misplaced. Biden found time to go on vacation. She found time to go to a football game. They both have time to actually do their jobs, visit the border, and finally get local officials the resources they need.”
