Sep 28, 2024, 02:39 AM

Vice President Kamala Harris made her first visit to the U.S.-Mexico border since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee. During her visit to Arizona, including Cochise County, Harris emphasized her commitment to securing the border and fixing the broken immigration system if elected president. However, her visit has been met with criticism from various quarters, including the Border Patrol Union, which accused her of ignoring the border problem for over three years and staging a brief 20-minute visit for a photo opportunity. Critics also pointed out that despite being in office for nearly four years, Harris has not delivered on her promises, with over 600,000 criminals reportedly entering the U.S. under her watch. Kari Lake criticized the visit, calling it a slap in the face to those affected by fentanyl poisoning and migrant crime. The visit comes as the White House race heats up ahead of the November election.
