Top Biden Officials Visit Mexico to Discuss Illegal Migration While Kamala Harris Relegated to Phone DutyEdwin Mora 12 Aug 2021
Senior U.S. officials made a surprise visit to Mexico Tuesday to discuss bilateral cooperation on reducing illegal migrants crossing into the U.S. in record numbers.
Notably missing from the trip was Vice President Kamala Harris, charged by President Joe Biden to work with Mexico and Central America on addressing alleged “root causes” driving migrants from Central America’s Northern Triangle (NT) countries of Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras to make the dangerous journey to the U.S. illegally.
The White House did not provide a readout of the meeting until a day after the event. Americans and the rest of the world learned of the high-level event from social media posts by the Mexican foreign ministry highlighting the event as it was occurring.
Biden’s National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas led the delegation to meet with President Andrés Manuel López Abrader (AMLO), Foreign Secretary Marcelo Ebrard, and Attorney General Gertz, among other senior officials.
“The delegations agreed to expand cooperation in order to manage orderly, safe, and regular migration flows with respect for the human rights of migrants and asylum seekers,” the Mexican foreign ministry declared in a statement following the meeting.
