This was Vice President Kamala Harris’s message to Guatemalan migrants on Monday, during her first international trip since taking office. The quote does not improve with context: “I want to emphasize that the goal of our work is to help Guatemalans find hope at home,” Harris said at a press conference after meeting with the country’s president.
“At the same time, I want to be clear to folks in this region who are thinking about making that dangerous trek to the United States-Mexico border,” she continued. “Do not come. Do not come. I believe if you come to our border, you will be turned back.””

But she faced scrutiny during the campaign for using her aunt’s name and likeness on Phenomenal Woman apparel, including a “Vice President Aunty” hooded sweatshirt and a “Kamala: It’s pronounced Veep” crewneck.”
