Vice President Kamala Harris has expressed her willingness to undergo a cognitive test and has outlined her stance on addressing illegal immigration and border security issues under a potential Harris administration.

During a recent interview, Harris responded affirmatively to the question of whether she would take a cognitive test, challenging former President Donald Trump to do the same. She criticized Trump's mental stability, calling him 'increasingly unstable and unhinged.'

Trump, in a podcast appearance, suggested that all presidential candidates should undergo cognitive testing, including Harris. He has raised concerns about Harris' cognitive abilities, stating that 'there's something missing' in her.

Amid ongoing criticism from Republicans regarding the border crisis, Harris emphasized her experience as a former attorney general of a border state, highlighting her commitment to combating transnational criminal organizations and supporting Border Patrol efforts.

Harris outlined her proposed approach to immigration reform, which includes swiftly removing individuals who enter the country unlawfully, prosecuting cartels, and providing necessary assistance to Border Patrol agents. She also expressed a commitment to working with Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform, including a pathway to citizenship for certain immigrant groups.

Notably, the National Border Patrol Council recently endorsed Trump, but Harris remains steadfast in her plans to address border security issues effectively if elected president.

Overall, Harris' statements reflect her determination to tackle complex immigration challenges while upholding the nation's values as a land of immigrants.
