Harris is visiting Douglas, Ariz., a border town of less than 17,000 people, hoping to sell U.S. voters on ways she can improve the status quo
Signs showing support for both Democratic presidential candidate Vice-President Kamala Harris and Republican presidential candidate former president Donald Trump sit along a rural highway on Sept. 26, near Traverse City, Mich.Vice-President Kamala Harris will visit the U.S.-Mexico border for the first time in her 2024 presidential campaign on Friday as her Republican opponent Donald Trump doubles down on the message that immigrants pose a danger to America.
“She has long believed we need an immigration system that is secure, fair, orderly and humane, a stark contrast from the divisive and dangerous politics of Donald Trump,” a Harris campaign aide said. Harris plans to discuss plans for the “toughest bipartisan border security plan in a generation.” Immigration is a top issue for voters. Arizona is a closely contested election state, with a high population of Latino voters sought by both parties. And the nation’s porous southern border remains a source of fentanyl, a leading cause of drug overdoses in the United States.“The architect of this destruction is Kamala Harris,” Trump said at Trump Tower. “She keeps talking about how she supposedly wants to fix the border.
Harris was California’s attorney-general before being elected to the U.S. Senate and then vice president. Her California remit included targeting gangs that operate on both sides of the border and traffic in drugs, guns and people.
