This move is part of her broader strategy to challenge Donald Trump on one of his signature issues. During her speech in Douglas, Arizona, Harris criticized Trump for blocking a bipartisan border security bill, which she emphasized had the support of the Border Patrol union and could have made a real difference today.

Harris leveraged her experience as California’s attorney general to strengthen her stance, highlighting her previous efforts to combat transnational criminal organizations. She outlined plans to fortify immigration laws and create a path to citizenship for undocumented children, pointing out that the problem has gone unresolved for decades.

Meanwhile, Trump responded with strong rhetoric at a rally in Michigan, accusing Harris of mishandling border security and falsely claiming that Democrats allow illegal immigration for political gain. Despite these attacks, Harris is working to close the gap on immigration, an area where Trump currently holds a lead in polls.

The upcoming weeks will be pivotal, with both campaigns vying for crucial battleground states as the election nears.
