The media’s portrayal of Vice President Kamala Harris’s role in addressing illegal immigration has shifted significantly since 2021.

Reports have shed light on the perceived inconsistency in how Harris’s role is framed by the media and the administration, raising concerns about accountability and the effectiveness of their immigration policies.
