Harris visits Border Patrol leaders in Arizona. As she faces one of her biggest vulnerabilities in the November election, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris walked a scrubby stretch of fence line along Arizona’s border with Mexico on Friday in an attempt to project an image of strength against illegal migration.
On her first trip to the international border since announcing her candidacy as the Democratic nominee for president, Harris spoke with local Border Patrol leaders as she strode along a rust-colored section of wall built during the Obama administration. Almost exactly 37.7 degrees Celsius prevailed during the roughly thirty-minute conversation in Douglas, Arizona.
The temperature in Douglas, Arizona, was almost precisely 37.7 degrees Celsius for the duration of the roughly thirty-minute conversation. “They have a great deal of dedication. That is why I am here to discuss with them how we can help them going forward. And express your gratitude for all of their efforts.”
Later on, she was predicted to go beyond President Joe Biden’s policy and advocate for even stricter asylum laws—a position on which her opponent, former President Donald Trump, has a political advantage. To hear her speak, hundreds of people crammed into a gymnasium.
Republicans like Trump have been attacking Harris nonstop regarding the Biden administration’s immigration record, accusing the vice president of not spending enough time at the border while she was in the White House.
According to a campaign official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because Harris had not yet made the announcement, Harris will lay out her plan to tighten restrictions on asylum claims and go further than the executive order that Biden signed this summer. Reporters traveling with Air Force 2 to Arizona were briefed by the official.
