Former President Donald Trump criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for her approach to border security and immigration policies during a recent news conference at Trump Tower. Trump accused Harris of undoing policies enacted during his administration and blamed her for what he described as an 'invasion' of undocumented immigrants.
Trump questioned Harris's upcoming visit to the US-Mexico border, suggesting that it played into the hands of her opponents. He expressed disappointment in her performance, stating that she had done the 'worst job' in the history of border management.
Trump also raised concerns about the impact of undocumented immigrants on American communities, alleging that they were 'infecting' and 'destroying' the country. He highlighted the strain on resources, such as schools, due to the influx of migrants.
Furthermore, Trump praised his administration's efforts to secure the southern border, particularly highlighting the negotiation of the 'Remain in Mexico' policy, which President Joe Biden later reversed. He criticized Harris's handling of the border-related assignment given to her by Biden, describing it as a 'horrible job.'
While Biden initially tasked Harris with leading diplomacy efforts with Central American countries to address migration issues, Trump questioned why more decisive action was not taken earlier.
The exchange between Trump and Harris underscores the ongoing debate over immigration policies and border security in the United States. The differing approaches of the current and former administrations continue to be a point of contention, with both sides advocating for their respective strategies.
