One month ago this week, President Biden tasked Vice President Kamala Harris with spearheading the effort to end the migration crisis (even though they refuse to call it a crisis) at our southern border. In that time Vice President Harris has been to border exactly zero times. Of the leaders of the three Northern Triangle countries of Central America that are the source of the lion\u2019s share of the migrants pouring across our border, she has conferred with exactly one of them: She had a Zoom call<\/a> with Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei \u2013 and that was on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The virtual meeting\nitself was private, but in her opening remarks, the vice president made it\nclear that the administration has no real plan to address the crisis \u2013 at least\nnot in any of our lifetimes. \u201cWe are looking at the issue of poverty and the\nlack therefore of economic opportunities; the issue of extreme weather\nconditions and the lack of climate adaptation, as well as corruption and the\nlack of good governance, and violence against women, indigenous people, LBGTQ\npeople and Afro-descendants,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But rest assured that while the Biden administration is \u201clooking\u201d at all of these problems, they are working all angles in their effort to get the border under control. On Tuesday, Vice President Harris held another virtual meeting with the president of Finland<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According the VP\u2019s office, the two leaders \u201cdiscussed the need for more coordinated international action to address the root causes of migration from the Northern Triangle,\u201d because, no doubt, that is a problem that is causing President Sauli Niinist\u00f6 many a sleepless night. Nothing denotes a sense of seriousness quite like getting the president of Finland on the horn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Finland is not the only country Vice President Harris has held serious talks with about the crisis on our southern border. Earlier this month, she \u201casked Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga to help with the migration crisis,\u201d reports the New York Post<\/a>, \u201cbut she didn\u2019t say if he agreed to do anything.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No disrespect to Finland\nor Japan, but what are they going to do to solve our border crisis, and why\nshould they even care when President Biden and Vice President Harris don\u2019t seem\nto care themselves? The Biden administration created this mess with policies\nand pronouncements that indicated that our border is wide open. The solution to\nthe problem is in the West Wing of the White House, not in Helsinki or Tokyo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
