You can call her anything you want but she is still Biden's Border Czar, her primary duty as Veep. 

A task at which she has been a complete failure.

Also his Artificial Intelligence Czar as well.  And some other functions in what has essentially been no show positions.

Why Republicans Keep Calling Kamala Harris the ‘Border Czar’
The misleading phrase is meant to underscore one of the thorniest issues in her portfolio: immigration.

Oh alright, I'll tell you.  They're trying to rehabilitate her image and blunt an obvious attack line that the R's will use.

The lede from the WSJ article that I cannot fully access:

Even before Kamala Harris became the Democrats’ likely challenger to Donald Trump, Republicans have used her immigration portfolio as a line of attack against her—calling her President Biden’s “border czar.” But Harris’s task, assigned to her in 2021 by Biden, was actually much narrower.

All those invaders are on Harris.

WASHINGTON — Senate Democrats failed to advance a bipartisan border security bill in May, with nearly every Republican voting to filibuster it as Donald Trump wields border chaos as a centerpiece of his campaign. The compromise bill was crafted to reduce border crossings, raise the standard for migrants to qualify for asylum and empower officials to rapidly send away those who fail to meet that standard. It would provide more funding for faster processing and more Border Agents. It would give the president power to shut down the border if migration levels exceed certain thresholds.
On the brink of its release earlier this year,
Lankford told NBC News it was “by far the most Conservative border security bill in four decades.”
Police and Border Patrol were enthusiastic about it.
“This commonsense bill would have pushed back on the Biden Administration’s failed border policies by forcing the President to shut down the border, strengthen our asylum laws, and end catch and release. It is shameful that Mitch McConnell and D.C. politicians would rather keep the border as a political talking point than actually fix the problem," Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., said in a statement.   NBC news, July 2024

_______________________
Collin Allred running for Senator in Texas is slamming Ted Cruz in ads on the border, repeating his response to Democrats and Republicans working together to propose bipartisan border solutions, saying â€œWe don't need a border bill.”        
_______________________
So the Republican faithful comply with endemic Alzheimers:
Ignore, deflect, redirect and blame. someone. else. CONGRESS is in charge of legislation regarding International Borders. Not Vice Presidents. She was sent to gather data, not wave a wand and fix it with empty hands and pockets.

Let's go back a bit further...

April 2014: "I would build a border like nobody's seen before."
June 2015: "I will make Mexico pay for that wall."
August 2015: It will have a "very big, beautiful door"
October 2015: "Now, it's 2,000 miles (of border) of which we really need 1,000 miles because you have a lot of natural barriers" 650 miles exist when said.
January 2017: He orders "a contiguous, physical wall" (or similar barrier).
July 2017 "We need about 800 miles of wall" 
July 2017: Mexico will "absolutely" pay (said with the Mexican president sitting next to him).
April 2017: The wall will cost $21.6 billion
January 2018: He'll build it for even less than that, and it will be completed in a year
May 2018: "We need about 700 miles of wall... and we're getting it"
January 2019: No wall, renewed talk of Mexico paying
February 2019: Trump declares a national emergency (taking $3.8 billion from the Pentagon budget)
July 2020: â€œWe are going to do about 537 miles altogether. And it will give a complete, beautiful wall on our southern border that’s really helped.”
August 2020: "Almost complete"

15 billion dollars.  4 years as POTUS, including 2 with both houses of Congress fully Republican.  406 miles of existing wall replaced.  52 new miles of wall.  Trump secured 2.6% of the border in 4 years. 

This was his BIG issue in 2016... and you want to blame the next VP for his complete failure to deliver on his biggest agenda item?

Then he torpedos the immigration bill earlier this year.  As you point out, it wasn't perfect, but it was drawn up and supported by Republicans.  It would have been progress.  Trump kills it not because it's bad, but because he needs to keep you anxious about the "invasion", and doesn't dare give Biden a win. 

As Mark Twain said... â€œLet us be thankful for fools. But for them, the rest of us could not succeed.”

Donald Trump is eternally grateful you're here Kurt.  This time... after you support him again, he's gonna do something.

Right, just like a vote for Trump would be a loud approval of someone who: continues to divide the nation over repeated election lies, stoked a failed insurrection and orchestrated actions in an attempt to illegally hold onto the office of President all while subverting the Constitution in the process.

I think we’re clear.
