Vice President Kamala Harris said Wednesday she has no plans to visit the U.S. southern border but she’s looking forward to a trip soon to Mexico and Guatemala to address the core causes of surging migration from Central America. She also cautioned that her work isn’t likely to show noticeable results anytime soon. “It will take some time to see the benefits of that work,” Ms. Harris said. “These are not issues that are going to be addressed overnight in terms of the root causes.”(Snip) Ms. Harris said the U.S. needs to provide the region with economic development aid, to give “some hope

So, if one's house is on fire, instead of addressing the immediate problem, the fire department should instead focus on the root cause of the fire. Honestly, if Kumala had an original thought in her head, she would electrocute herself.

The root causes of 100 million people in South and Central America and Mexico wanting to come here for free stuff?
Is she going to nation build south of the border? An invasion force perhaps? Or just distribute money to their leaders and hope it trickles down?
Trickle down nation building. That's right up Kamel A Hairass's alley. With a 10% managment fee for the dims. Oh hell, 20%.

The Dems are getting exactly what they want: an uncontrolled surge of future Democrats, and if a few eggs get broken, too bad. She is doing exactly the job they want her to do.

Kamala, honey, look no further than the current occupant of the White House for your root cause. There ya go, did your work for you. Now get off your duff and pay a visit to the border. You’re not above that, no matter what you think.

Yo, Kamala, let me save you the trouble of "looking into the root causes" of the illegal immigrant invasion.
Reason #1- DEMOGRAPHICS- Leftist commie Democrats want to replace the American voter, which is 70% white, of Judeo-Christian background, and about 30% Republican with illegal immigrants that will reliably vote Democrat, citizen or not. They seek to disenfranchise the US native born citizens to amass power for the one-party rule of the Democrats
Reason #2- They want to destroy the Republic of the United States

Sweetie pie - the root cause is poor and abused people from broken governments coming north for all the free stuff promised by our broken government. There. Figured that out for you without visiting.
Talk about somebody in over their heads.

She is staying in D.C. while she is looking for the "root cause" of this surge of illegal invaders. Ya know, I think she is on to something there. Meeting at the White House? Warmer, warmer...

The so-called root causes start and end with the Harris administration's immigration policies.
There's absolutely nothing new happening south of our border to drive all these extra people here.
They're being drawn in by her invitation of free US tax payer money for their entire extended family in exchange for nothing for US citizens.

She's right. The "root causes" of the open border crisis are the massive Democrat frauds committed in the November election. Put our rightful President, Donald Trump, back in the White House and the crisis is solved.

Yes if she visited the border, the press would follow her and ask her questions. Questions she doesn't want to answer. And the root causes would be Trump and not spending enough on infrastructure or something else.

Amazing how Kamala says with a straight face to the press "That's not my job" and they just accept it! Imagine someone in Trump world had said that about something the press was interested in. Nothing is anyone's job. That way nobody is responsible for anything and can't / won't accept blame for anything.

Don’t disagree with comments above, but usually Democrats care about the optics. Does she really not get how bad it looks to avoid a trip to the border or not even hold a press conference?

We got your root causes right here: anti-American loving, sovereignty destroying, will of the people ignoring, economy destroying, Donald Trump policy reversing, national security disregarding, and democrat party warring with its country’s founding principles just to mention a few. And here’s the most pertinent one, Joe Corruption Biden illegitimately sitting behind the Resolute Desk.

Blah, blah, blah. Politician talk.
Kamala Harris may be an ignorant laughing hyena, but she's grasped the core imperative required of Washington political creatures.
She can blah, blah, blah with the best of them. Once she quits the shrieks of laughter.

She prefers to go to a foreign country trying to show off 'her skills', well, whatever they are. She wants to be considered 'a head of state', she does not want to be mistaken for an illegal at the border! So, Biden 'appointed her', she goes MIA other than shopping for snacks and she is redefining her job. Anyone have the impression we are watching an amateur hour at the WH, similar to the one when the punk lived there???

We've been addressing the Root Causes of African-American poverty for over half a century, with no results whatsoever apart from massive expenditures. By this, pResident Harris admits that she will do nothing to stop the flow. If only Texas had a governor, something might get done, but no. Meanwhile, the "migrants" are coming because PINO Bidet promised US citizenship, and thus access to our suicidal array of welfare benefits, to any and all comers. Economic development in Honduras and elsewhere is the business of those nations, not of Failed America.
