Vance takes attacks on Harris’ record to the southern border
JD Vance brought his fiery campaign rhetoric on immigration to the U.S.-Mexico border, as the Trump campaign drubs Kamala Harris over the Biden administration’s approach to border security.
COCHISE COUNTY, Ariz. — Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance brought his fiery campaign rhetoric on immigration to the U.S.-Mexico border Thursday as the Trump campaign drubs Vice President Kamala Harris over the Biden administration’s approach to border security.
Sharpening his attacks on Harris from the stump in recent days, Vance, the Republican senator from Ohio, visited an unfinished part of the border wall in Arizona — a stark visual to drive home the campaign’s juxtaposition of Harris’ and Trump’s records.
“It is not hard to secure the southern border. You just have to reimplement some commonsense policies,” Vance said after he received a briefing from border patrol union members, a representative from the sheriff’s department and a local rancher.
Vance, turning to the members of law enforcement flanking him at a lectern, posed a rhetorical question: “Tell me, has Kamala Harris done anything you’ve asked her to do? Has your border czar done anything you’ve asked her to do? The answer is no.”
A central component of former President Donald Trump’s proposed border policy is a pledge to carry out a mass deportation of undocumented immigrants if he is sent back to the White House, after he pledged during his first presidential campaign to build a wall along the southern border.
