VP Harris Visits Border
Yesterday, Vice President Kamala Harris visited the southern border in Arizona.
As NBC News put it, “Kamala Harris highlighted her tough-on-migration stance during a long-anticipated trip Friday to the U.S.-Mexico border in Arizona, aiming to cover off a political vulnerability and rebut Donald Trump’s core campaign message that Democrats are soft on immigration enforcement.”
It sounds like Harris was all in on tough border enforcement. As S.V. Date for the Huffington Post wrote
“Harris was introduced by a mother who lost a son to a fentanyl overdose, and she spent several minutes discussing the `scourge’ of that drug’s effects on Americans. She reminded her audience that as a two-term attorney general of California, she prosecuted Mexican smuggling gangs.
`I walked through tunnels that traffickers used to smuggle contraband into the United States,’ she said. `I’ve seen tunnels with walls as smooth as the walls of our living room, complete with lighting and air conditioning, making very clear that it is about an enterprise that is making a whole lot of money in the trafficking of guns, drugs and human beings.’”
