Kamala Harris Reveals a Strategy to Address the Root Causes of Migration
Vice President Harris on Thursday released a sweeping strategy to address the root causes of migration amid a surge in U.S.-Mexico border crossings, including refocusing on engagement with Central America.
While the plan does not include a detailed timeline or specific policy actions to be taken, the 18-page report organizes Harris’s strategy into several pillars, including addressing economic insecurity and inequality, combating corruption and strengthening democratic governance and promoting respect for human rights.
The pillars also include addressing violence and crimes committed by criminal gangs and trafficking networks, as well as curbing sexual, gender-based and domestic violence.
