Vice Pres. Harris is headed to El Paso on Friday, making it her first trip to the border after growing pressure from the GOP.

The White House had previously cited COVID-19 and security concerns for Harris and President Joe Biden not going to assess the crisis in person, but Psaki couldn't definitively say what’s changed to finally have Harris go there, only that the vice president's office"assessed" with DHS that had become"the appropriate time to go.”"I will note that we're at this point, in part, because we've made a great deal of progress," Psaki said.

Even though Harris is headed to Texas, she’ll be visiting El Paso, not the Rio Grande Valley, where a temporary U.S. Customs and Border Patrol facility in Donna is located and was overwhelmed for months earlier this year with the amount of unaccompanied minors arriving in record levels. Border crossings are also more prevalent in the RGV than El Paso.

All the illegals are bathed and combed waiting for her majesty's arrival.

The GOP went to Cancun, so really what can they say after their record. Ted Cruz?

What happened, someone in bidens,administration get hurt be an illegal?

It’s pretty bad GOP has to even “pressure” her since she was put in charge of the border crises but has yet to make a visit.

The trip follows GOP criticism of her not traveling there to address migration. About time. Vice President Harris please visit the Embassy in México, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Salvador every country, because the Ambassador's are not doing their jobs When asked earlier if she'd go visit the border in an earlier interview by a reporter, VP Harris wasn't saying she'll never visit when she didn't answer, she didn't want to self jeapordize herself if she did answer she would. Enemies are everywhere today.
