The White House is touting work from Vice President Kamala Harris to combat "economic insecurity" by creating hundreds of thousands of "high quality jobs"—in northern Central America.

In a fact sheet released Monday, the White House provided an "update" on Harris's efforts to address the "root causes" of illegal immigration. One section, titled "Creating Opportunities," notes that "U.S. government support for as many as 23,000 private sector firms in northern Central America has helped create and sustain up to an estimated 250,000 jobs." The fact sheet goes on to tout U.S. taxpayer-funded vocational training and jobs summits for residents of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras.

"Vice President Harris continues to lead the implementation of the Root Causes Strategy, which tackles the drivers of irregular migration," the sheet says. "These efforts provide hope and opportunity to the people of Central America, affirming that a secure and prosperous future lies in their home communities."
