Over the last week, Republicans have repeatedly accused Vice President Kamala Harris of failing in her job to control the border, calling her Biden’s “border czar.” In response, Time Magazine published an article headlined, “Kamala Harris Was Never Biden’s ‘Border Czar.’” Politifact called the claim “mostly false.” And Axios this morning agreed, writing, “The Trump campaign and Republicans have tagged Harris repeatedly with the ‘border czar’ title — which she never actually had.”
However, in 2021, Axios itself referred to Harris as “border czar,” and there was widespread media coverage that year of Kamala’s responsibility for migration issues.
