Harris chosen by Biden to lead administration's border efforts
VP tasked with overseeing issues in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras
'The solutions will not be achieved overnight,' Harris said in 2021
(NewsNation) — Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens says Vice President Kamala Harris has not spoken with him since he was appointed in July 2023.
President Joe Biden tapped Harris to lead his administration’s border efforts in March 2021. She made trips to some South American countries in the following months to plead with people not to make the dangerous trip to the United States, but she has not been visible in the years since as the problem ballooned.
Retired Border Patrol chief Raul Ortiz told CBS in March he also never spoke with Harris during his tenure from August 2021 through June 2023.
