Vice President Kamala Harris criticized former President Donald Trump's immigration proposals during a speech at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute's 47th Annual Leadership Conference. Harris warned of potential 'mass deportations' and 'massive detention camps' if Trump were to return to office.
Harris emphasized the need to reform the broken immigration system while protecting Dreamers and ensuring border security. She stressed the importance of creating an earned pathway to citizenship alongside border security measures.
Highlighting the contrast between her policies and Trump's, Harris outlined her 'opportunity economy' agenda and healthcare initiatives. She urged attendees to consider the implications of Trump's proposed immigration actions, including massive raids and detention camps.
Addressing the issue of women's reproductive rights, Harris criticized Trump's stance on abortion, noting the restrictive abortion bans in nearly two dozen states. She highlighted the impact of these bans on the Latino community, pointing out that 40% of Latinas in America live in states with Trump abortion bans.
As Harris seeks to court Latino voters, she presented the campaigns' 'two very different visions' on key issues. Her remarks aimed to draw a contrast with Trump's policies and appeal to the Latino demographic.
