WASHINGTON, USA: Vice President Kamala Harris is set to visit the U.S.-Mexico border in Douglas, Arizona, on Friday, marking her first border visit since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee. The White House announced that Harris will focus on her “bipartisan border security plan,” which emphasizes adding new border agents and enhancing technology to curb the fentanyl crisis.
As a former attorney general from California, Harris has experience tackling international drug and human trafficking. Her campaign has drawn a contrast with Donald Trump, emphasizing her approach to creating a “secure, fair, and humane” immigration system.
Harris’ visit comes at a time when illegal immigration remains a top issue among voters, with many believing Trump would handle the situation better. She plans to push for comprehensive border reform, aiming to tighten migration laws while enforcing existing ones. The issue remains a key battleground, with both Trump and Harris making it a central part of their campaigns ahead of the upcoming presidential election.
