Kamala Harris visited the U.S.-Mexico border in Arizona to highlight her tough stance on immigration, aiming to counter Donald Trump’s claims of Democratic weakness in this area. Harris emphasized the need for secure borders and enforcement of immigration rules, reflecting a shift towards tougher border controls in the future. She emphasized her experience as Attorney General of California in dealing with criminal organizations and drugs brought in across the border.
Harris reiterated that the U.S. must reform its immigration system to be orderly, humane, and strength-enhancing. She emphasized enforcing laws to curb migration and debunked claims that Democrats are not addressing the border security issue.
The Republican political advantage on the border issue has decreased due to their failure to support a bipartisan border security bill. Harris plans to bring back this bill if elected president, focusing on reducing illegal border crossings and keeping the border closed between ports of entry. However, questions have been raised about the feasibility of reviving the bill and Harris’s involvement in negotiations.
The changing politics around immigration will shape future policies, with Trump proposing mass deportations and Harris aiming for a balance between enforcement and creating legal pathways for immigrants. Democrats’ hopes of granting permanent residency to undocumented immigrants have faded over the years, and Harris is calling for pathways to legal status for some, focusing on enforcement in the near future.
