Vice President Kamala Harris has reiterated the need to fix the United States' broken immigration system, emphasizing the importance of passing a bipartisan border security bill. Harris has faced criticism from various quarters, with opponents arguing that the proposed bill would allow 1.8 million illegal immigrants into the country and codify policies like catch and release. Critics also claim that the bill would provide funding for sanctuary cities and fast-track citizenship for new arrivals. Additionally, some critics allege that Harris's plan would grant citizenship to over 10 million illegal aliens. Harris has blamed former President Donald Trump for instructing Congress to kill the bill, which she argues would have been the toughest border security measure in decades.
