Kamala Harris faces critical test as Title 42 ends.

Vice President Kamala Harris will attend a Democratic Party event in Atlanta instead of visiting the US-Mexico border as thousands of people illegally enter America after the lifting of the Title 42 COVID-19 expulsion policy. The optics of Harris attending political events instead of tending to the border crisis drew fresh condemnation from Republicans, who have accused her of not doing enough on border issues since President Biden tapped her in March 2021 to lead US efforts to reduce illegal immigration.
