Vice President Kamala Harris has set a schedule for her first vice-presidential visit to Mexico and Guatemala. The said dates will be on June 7 and 8. 

Kamala Harris announced it during her visit to Rhode Island on Wednesday. Harris further noted that she would be talking to Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador this week, CBS News reported.

"Currently, the plan is for me to travel to Mexico and Guatemala on June 7 and 8th," Harris was quoted in a Reuters report. The vice president added that she was very much looking forward to her trip.

During his press briefing, Lopez Obrador said that he would discuss with Harris about U.S.-bound immigration.

Guatemalan Foreign Minister Pedro Brolo told Reuters that the country had asked the U.S. for support in fighting drug cartel money laundering. Guatemala sees it as a major source of corruption.

"There is a historic cause of corruption in Guatemala and it is drug trafficking," Brolo said in another Reuters report.

The White House did not immediately comment for more details. The Guatemalan foreign minister did not also add information on the request for collaboration.

Kamala Harris has already talked twice with Guatemalan president Alejandro Giammattei, while she is scheduled for a second conversation this week with the Mexican president.

Kamala Harris on Immigration Crisis

President Joe Biden tapped Kamala Harris in March to lead the administration's efforts on the migration crisis at the southern border.

Biden said that Harris is the "most qualified person" to lead the government's efforts with Mexico and the Northern Triangle.

The White House earlier said that Harris was also assigned to develop and impose a long-term strategy to address the root causes of migration from Mexico and the Northern Triangle countries of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras.

During the annual Washington Conference on America, Harris said that people of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras are leaving their homes at alarming rates, New York Post reported.

Kamala Harris noted that they would not make significant progress if corruption in the region stays the same.

The vice president has cited some factors in the surge of migration in the country, such as hurricane damage, global warming, poverty, gang violence, and racial discrimination.

Biden's Refugee Cap

Biden has reestablished the plan to raise refugee admission this year to 62,500 after supporters criticized his hesitancy for raising the cap. Former President Donald Trump has reduced the size of the refugee program during his term.

Biden earlier said it was doubtful that the United States would be able to welcome a total of 62,500 refugees by the end of the current fiscal year on Sept. 30.

He noted that the administration is working quickly to undo the damage of the last four years, adding that it will take some time, but the work is already happening.

Refugee groups said that delays in the president's decision-making on the issue caused hundreds of canceled flights for refugees. After taking office in January, Biden has promised to raise the number of admissions.
