"I would like to thank Vice President Kamala Harris for meeting with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) today to discuss her ongoing efforts in the Northern Triangle," said Chair Dr. Ruiz. "The Biden-Harris Administration's professional, humane, and smart method to address the root causes of migration is the right approach to reduce the cyclical nature of mass migration.
