Quote:The White House's border coordinator will resign at the end of the month amid a historic surge in migrants at the southern border.

Roberta S. Jacobson, the former ambassador to Mexico who was Biden's border 'czar' on the National Security Council, announced the move in an interview with The New York Times.

She praised Biden's efforts to 'repair and recst' the nation's immigration system and slammed Donald Trump.

'They continue to drive toward the architecture that the president has laid out: an immigration system that is humane, orderly and safe,' she said in a brief interview. 'I leave optimistically. The policy direction is so clearly right for our country.

National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan called Jacobson's work 'an invaluable contribution.'

'Consistent with her commitment at the outset to serve in the Administration's first 100 days, Ambassador Jacobson will retire from her role as Coordinator at the end of this month,' he said in a statement Friday.

Jacobson's resignation comes amid growing pressure for Vice President Kamala Harris to visit the border, 16 days after the White House said she would be leading the effort.

Sullivan said Harris continues to lead efforts related to the border, showing the importance the administration places on the issue.

'President Biden has asked Vice President Kamala Harris to lead the Administration's work on our efforts with Mexico and the Northern Triangle, a testament to the importance this administration places on improving conditions in the region. The Vice President is overseeing a whole-of-government approach supported by outstanding public servants,' he said.

Customs and Border Protection revealed yesterday that March saw the highest number of migrant children crossing the border in history.

Jacobson has argued that the migration problem needs to be addressed at the source, in Central America, while many have suggested that Biden's reversal of Trump policies has caused a flood of new arrivals.

She briefed reporters in March, where she echoed the administration's message the U.S. border with Mexico.

But when she tried to translate that message into Spanish, she reversed its meaning, saying, 'La frontera no esta cerrada,' which in English means 'the border is not closed.'

Later in the briefing, she corrected herself and translated the message correctly.

So, the rats are already fleeing the ship, good sign...


As Czar, she sure as heck did a bang-up job there. Kids crammed shoulder to shoulder with tin foil sheets for beds, covid running rampant, kids getting flung over fences and found face down in the Rio Grande.

With a resume like that I think I'd quietly resign after 11 weeks on the job, too.

Sloe* can sure pick 'em, no?

Quick! Someone mention how Gaetz purchased a snickers for a 19 year old!!!!!

Goodbye and good riddance.

Meh, she'll be easily replaced. There appears to be no shortage of prog filth.

Yeah, let me stay on for 100 days, "F" everything up, not do anything to fix it and then just walk away. Classic democrat.

Sounds a lot like my ex-wife....

I thought Kumswallow was in charge of the border? I guess it’s to early for her to resign...
