Root Cause and Kamala Harris

We've heard the phrase "root cause" with respect to the immigration issue and a Vice President. Biden's Executive Order 14010 of February 2, 2021 addresses the topic. While appearing to be concerned about the root cause of migration, the order seeks to manage and facilitate migration. This order actually clears the way to build, strengthen, and expand… asylum systems and resettlement capacity closer to home. Anon questions, "Closer to whose home"? This EO is worded in such a way that, depending on where your values lie, it can mean what you want it to mean. Anon would like to suggest that we believe Kamala Harris, when she tells us that hervalueshave not changed. The values expressed in this EO are the values of "civil society", "international organizations" and regional "governments".

"Consistent with these principles, my Administration will implement a multipronged approach towardmanaging migrationthroughout

North and Central America that reflects the Nation’s highestvalues. We willwork closely with civil society,international

organizations, and thegovernmentsin the region to: establish acomprehensive strategyfor addressing the causes of

migration in the region;build, strengthen, andexpandCentral and North American countries’asylum systems and resettlement capacity;

andincrease opportunitiesfor vulnerable populations to apply for protection closer to home. At the same time, the United States will

enhance lawful pathways for migration to this countryand willrestore and strengthen our own asylum system, which has been badly

damaged by policies enacted over the last 4 years that contravened ourvaluesand caused needless human suffering."
