Vice President Kamala Harris plans to increase border security measures in response to Republican criticism of the Biden-Harris administration’s immigration policies.
Harris recently visited the U.S.-Mexico border and praised President Biden’s asylum seeker crackdown, which has led to a significant reduction in border crossings. She vows to further tighten restrictions.
Despite ongoing immigration challenges, Harris highlights the recent drop in illegal immigration, citing statistics from the Department of Homeland Security. She emphasizes the need for congressional action to address the issue.
Harris’s role in immigration has been misrepresented by her opponents. Biden assigned her to address the root causes of migration in Central America’s Northern Triangle. However, former President Trump has incorrectly labeled her the “border czar.”
