Earlier this week President Joe Biden put Kamala Harris in charge of solving, or at least ameliorating, the immigration crisis on the Mexican border. Because the Mexican border has been in an on-off crisis state for over two decades, her task, to say the least, will be extraordinarily difficult. Further the solution in the long run involves fixing the failed states of Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala is no easy task and it will take years. Importantly, Harris does not have the administrative experience needed for the task. Perhaps she will rise to meet the challenge, but that is no ways certain.
Thus, in the here an now, Harris might have to resort to Trumpian-like tactics to at least put a band-aid on the problem. Of course that would inevitably give rise to a hue and cry on the Democratic Left. Simply put the president has put her in a no-win situation and has given her a poisoned chalice.
Agree.
