Former President Donald Trump and Sen. JD Vance have taken to social media to respond to Vice President Kamala Harris' recent visit to the US-Mexico border in Arizona. During her trip, Harris criticized Trump for his role in blocking a border security bill earlier this year that had received bipartisan support.
At a rally in Douglas, a town on the border, Harris highlighted the bill as a significant step towards enhancing border security, emphasizing its endorsement by the Border Patrol union. She expressed regret that the bill was not in effect, stating that it could have been producing tangible results for the country by now.
In response, Trump dismissed Harris' remarks as belated, questioning why she had not made similar statements during her previous tenure. He accused her of causing irreparable damage to the country and labeled her actions as criminal. Trump asserted that only he could rectify the situation and reiterated his campaign slogan, 'Make America Great Again.'
Meanwhile, Sen. JD Vance also joined the conversation, urging Harris to take immediate action as the current Vice President. In response to Harris' pledge to protect the nation's sovereignty, secure the border, and reform the immigration system with bipartisan support, Vance called for swift implementation of these promises.
Harris' visit to the border comes amidst heightened political tensions surrounding immigration policies, with Trump making border security a focal point of his reelection campaign. By actively engaging in border-related issues, Harris aims to counter Trump's narrative and demonstrate her commitment to addressing the challenges at the border.
