President Donald Trump has launched a series of attacks against Vice President Kamala Harris, accusing her of causing the worst border crisis in history. Trump claims that Harris, who was named Border Czar, terminated all of his administration's policies that secured the border, leading to an influx of illegal immigrants and a surge in drug trafficking. He alleges that Harris's actions have resulted in untold suffering, misery, and death. Trump also criticized Harris for planning to visit the southern border after nearly four years in office, questioning why she did not address the border issues earlier. Additionally, Trump accused Harris of losing 325,000 migrant children, many of whom were likely sold into sex and labor trafficking. He further claimed that Harris's policies led to 21 million illegal aliens crossing the border, and criticized her support for a bipartisan bill to secure the border and her call for amnesty for all illegal immigrants. Trump also mentioned a new program created by Harris to fly in migrants, which he says has destroyed American towns.
