VP Harris scheduled to make campaign visit at US-Mexico border in Arizona

Vice President Kamala Harris is set to visit the U.S.-Mexico border in Douglas, Arizona, during a campaign stop. Immigration remains a major focus in the 2024 election, with polls showing that voters trust former President Donald Trump more than Harris on the issue. Harris plans to discuss border security and highlight her bipartisan plan, criticizing Trump for undermining previous efforts. Trump has called for mass deportations and the construction of a border wall, criticizing Harris for not visiting the border sooner. Harris aims to address the broken immigration system and has accused Trump of blocking bipartisan legislation that could have addressed the issue. President Joe Biden visited the border in February before dropping out of the 2024 election. Despite challenges, Harris currently leads Trump in Arizona polls. The Biden administration has taken executive action to curb illegal border crossings, with Harris advising migrants not to come. The administration’s efforts have led to a decline in crossings after record-breaking levels in 2023. Ultimately, Harris is looking to counter criticism of her handling of the border crisis and emphasize her commitment to improving the immigration system.
