Harris, who was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2021\/07\/29\/fact-sheet-strategy-to-address-the-root-causes-of-migration-in-central-america\/#:~:text=On%20February%202%2C%202021%2C%20President,Salvador%2C%20Guatemala%2C%20and%20Honduras.\">specifically tasked <\/a>by Biden to tackle the \u201croot causes\u201d of migration, exemplifies the fundamental incapability of national politics to grapple with the country\u2019s immigration crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u201croot causes\u201d strategy, meant to stem migration by improving conditions in three Central American countries, led to some of Harris\u2019 most unfortunate political moments as vice president. During her first trip to Guatemala in June 2021, Harris urged, infamously, \u201cFolks in this region who are thinking about making that dangerous trek to the United States-Mexico border: Do not come. Do not come.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Soon after, Harris took part in an embarrassing interview with NBC News\u2019 Lester Holt, who asked her why she hadn\u2019t visited the U.S.-Mexico border yet if her task was to solve its crisis. Harris responded, \u201cAt some point, you know, we are going to the border. We\u2019ve been to the border. So this whole thing about the border. We\u2019ve been to the border. We\u2019ve been to the border.\u201d Holt replied, correcting the Vice President, \u201cYou haven\u2019t been to the border.\u201d Harris then retorted, \u201cI haven\u2019t been to Europe. And I mean, I don\u2019t &#8230; understand the point that you\u2019re making. I\u2019m not discounting the importance of the border.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These early flubs as VP had an enduring impact on Harris\u2019 reputation, plunging her into Biden\u2019s shadow as the number of migrants arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border surged over the next three years. Notably, this wave of migration emerged not only from the Northern Triangle countries of Central America \u2014 El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras \u2014 but also from across the hemisphere, particularly from Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Colombia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In response to rising numbers of migrants, the Biden-Harris administration signed an executive order on June 4 that halts asylum-seeking at the U.S.-Mexico border when crossings surge. Critics argue this decision will only cause more chaos along the border. It also represents a long-standing Democratic tradition in moments of political uncertainty: punching left and moving right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shortly after the executive order, on June 18, the administration announced a significant expansion of the \u201cparole in place\u201d (PIP) program, giving nearly half a million undocumented immigrants who are married to U.S. citizens the ability to stay in the country and work legally. While this is a positive step, it\u2019s a proverbial drop in the bucket when it comes to easing the dehumanization of America\u2019s immigration system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also highlights the Democratic party\u2019s signature approach to immigration: qualifying who is worthy to enter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Would a Harris presidency change that? While it\u2019s hard to disentangle Harris\u2019 actions regarding immigration from the Biden presidency, a brief look into her history as San Francisco\u2019s district attorney from 2004-2011 doesn\u2019t give much hope. Midway through her tenure in the city, she supported a policy requiring law enforcement to turn over arrested undocumented youth to ICE, regardless of whether they were convicted of a crime. Outside of that policy, immigration was never one of Harris\u2019 mainstay issues before becoming VP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>G.O.P\u2019s hard-line immigration stance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However problematic the solutions are on the left, at least there\u2019s some pretense of humanitarian compromise. Republicans, quite unimaginatively, simply don\u2019t deem immigrants worthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the W. Bush administration, the American right has embraced the darkest parts of racist anti-immigrant rhetoric, a trend that has subsumed their platform as a whole. Right before the failed assassination attempt against Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13, Trump touted the \u201cgreat job my administration did on immigration at the southern border,\u201d which is grimly ironic considering the similarities between his administration\u2019s approach and the Biden-Harris administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Trump officially accepted the party\u2019s nomination amid an excited, if not fervent, Milwaukee crowd at the Republican National Convention on July 17, he wasted no time moving into the red meat of the speech. \u201cA massive invasion on our southern border that has spread misery, crime, poverty, disease, and destruction to communities all across our land,\u201d Trump said, as suburban moms and small-business dads hooted and cheered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That kind of fear-mongering has worked well for Republicans over the past 25 years or so, but it\u2019s worth noting that no part of Trump\u2019s speech offered any tangible policy proposal to quell the perceived hordes. Because in actuality, there is no policy that Republicans could back that would stifle the scores of people coming to this country for better opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The root cause of immigration, ignored<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What both parties fail to address is that most, if not all, of the countries migrants hail from have endured some amount of violent U.S. intervention, regardless of the president\u2019s political party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stemming from the 1823 Monroe Doctrine, the U.S. has operated with relative impunity in Latin America. James Monroe\u2019s annual message to Congress laid out a tentative plan for the future of America and the Western Hemisphere as a whole, allowing the U.S. to invade or overthrow Latin American countries to protect its own interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The post-WWII era has seen the Monroe Doctrine put on steroids. Beginning in a Cold War context, in 1954, Republican Dwight Eisenhower supported a coup in Guatemala at the behest of Alan Dulles and the United Fruit Company due in large part to left-leaning Jacobo Arbenz\u2019s land reform that would undercut the multinational company\u2019s profits. In the early 1960s, Democratic President Kennedy supported a coup in British Guyana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the Nixon administration in the 70s, Henry Kissinger \u2014 the Secretary of State and National Security Adviser&nbsp; who never met a country he couldn\u2019t use to his advantage \u2014 sought to dispense with left-leaning Salvador Allende to undermine the leader\u2019s economic reforms. In keeping with Republican strategy, Nixon and Kissinger sponsored Operation Condor, a wide-range strategy of political subversion, repression, invasion, and assassination to undercut the left across the Southern Cone of South America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In more recent history, the W. Bush administration offered military support for a 2002 coup against Marxist Hugo Chavez in Venezuela. Seven years later, the Democratic Barack Obama administration supported a coup in Honduras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua, which are big contributors to the current surge in migrations, are among the countries facing U.S. economic sanctions, a form of \u201csoft power\u201d that can be just as devastating as direct military intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are just a few examples in a long list of U.S. foreign interventions post-WWII that have forced millions of migrants to make increasingly risky journeys to America, leaving behind countries that have been economically ravaged and marred with violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Supplying relief packages for countries that have been ravaged in part by U.S. interference makes the Biden-Harris \u201croot causes\u201d strategy appear misguided at best, and woefully ignorant at worst. To \u201cfix\u201d immigration requires an overarching recalibration of the American state and its history. Doing so would unravel the U.S.\u2019 status as the post-WWII superpower, or at least severely weaken it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether it be Democratic incompetence or Republican disdain, the political issue of immigration is not one any current American politician or party can solve. Referring to it as a political issue distracts from the real people going through daily horrors to alleviate the suffering stemming from U.S. policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>So, what is to be done?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite national failures, there are avenues on a local level to make immigrating a more humane process. Political engagement on a national level is disheartening for a variety of reasons, not the least of which being ineffectiveness. On a municipal level, though, the votes count and the support matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Local resources \u2014 like the Women\u2019s Building in the Mission that offers weekly food pantries and hosts political events, AROC Bay Area that supports peaceful protests against America\u2019s military presence, and the Immigration Institute of the Bay Area that provides legal services and support to migrants across the region \u2014 can make the process better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While immigration has become a politically useful talking point nationally, local organizations still help make the lives of migrants more equitable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kamala Harris, who was specifically tasked by Biden to tackle the \u201croot causes\u201d of migration, exemplifies the
