Holt began trending on social media after he pressed Vice President Kamala Harris on why she has yet to visit the US-Mexico border - despite being put in charge of the nations migrant crisis. Amid her two-day visit to Guatemala and Mexico to address the ongoing surge of migration at the US' southern border, Harris sat down with NBC's Holt for an interview set to air the night of June 8. We are not going to see an immediate return. But were going to see progress, Harris said. The real work is going to take time to manifest itself. Yes. Yes.  5 In an interview with Vice President Kamala Harris, set to air the night of June 8, Holt pressed the VP on why she has yet to visit the US-Mexico border Credit: Reuters  Holt quickly pressed Harris over her refusal to visit the border ever since she's been put in charge by President Joe Biden. Why not see what Americans are seeing in this crisis? Holt asked. Well, we are going to the border, Harris responded. We have to deal with whats happening at the border, theres no question about that. Thats not a debatable point. "But we have to understand that theres a reason people are arriving at our border and ask what is that reason and then identify the problem so we can fix it.  Later on in the interview, the NBC News anchor circled back to the topic, challenging Harris on her personal absence from the border. 5 Holt pressed VP Harris on her refusal to visit the US-Mexico border since being put in charge of the influx of migrants attempting to cross the US southern border Credit: Getty Images - Getty  Do you have any plans to visit the border? Holt asked. At some point, you know, we are going to the border, Harris replied. Weve been to the border. So this whole thing about the border. Weve been to the border. Weve been to the border.  Holt shot back: You havent been to the border.  And I havent been to Europe! Harris said with an awkward laugh. And I meanI dont understand the point that youre making. Im not discounting the importance of the border.  Meanwhile, Holt pointed out that it wasnt just Republicans urging Harris to visit the border, noting that Rep Henry Cuellar (D-TX) has repeatedly called on the Biden administration to visit the region. 5 Vice President Harris awkwardly laughed off Holt's question about her not having visited the border Credit: NBC News  Most read in News DON SLAM Trump calls Bitcoin a SCAM after viewers think he was wearing pants backward PUNCH-UP Moment man punches drinker in 'revenge attack' for 'stealing daughter's purse' LANGUAGE BARRIER France plans to oust English language as the EU's most common tongue 'OUT OF CONTROL' Naked woman trashes restaurant before being Tasered in breasts by cops HOUNDS OF HELL Woman mauled to death by pack of ferocious dogs outside home in Australia Revealed TRIGGER HAPPY 'Road-rage shooter who killed boy' is gun nut who loves posing with weapons  I care about whats happening at the border, Harris contended.
