United States Vice President, Kamala Harris has reiterated her commitment to support the legislation in their fight against illegal migration into the country.
The vice president who is also the democratic presidential candidate for the next presidential election made this known in her fiery speech delivered at her presidential campaign at Phoenix suburbs.
It was noted that the democratic presidential nominee never made such mention of the topic in her previous presidential campaign speeches in Michigan and Wisconsin earlier this week. This was seen as a deliberate attempt to avoid any possible backlash from the people of Michigan and Wisconsin who were predominantly white voters.
Kamala Harris in her speech said “We will move forward and take on the biggest issues facing our nation, for example, the issue of immigration,” Harris told the crowd of supporters. “I was an attorney general of a border state. I went after the transnational gangs, the drug cartels and human traffickers. I prosecuted them case after case, and I won.”
The former California senator made a strong case against former President Donald Trump who is the Republican presidential candidate and has always been at the forefront of border security efforts as it was recalled that it was during his administration he began to build the southern border wall.
Kamala Harris accused President Trump of being an hindrance to fixing the border security she said “Donald Trump does not want to fix this problem,” according to Kamala she further said “Earlier this year, we had a chance to pass the toughest bipartisan border security bill in decades, but Donald Trump tanked the deal because he thought by doing that it would help him win an election.”
It was recalled that this is not the first time the vice president has publicly accused the former president of blocking the border security bill, she made such accusations against Donald Trump last month during her campaign rally in Georgia.
In response to her accusations, Donald Trump’s campaign office released a statement saying that the vice president should visit a border town to see the level of security and the displeasure among residents.
The vice president admitted that the border security system is broken and that they know how to fix it.
It would be recorded that Kamala Harris has been under fire from Republicans senators and lawmakers because of the mass influx of illegal immigration’s impact from the Northern border wall which borders countries like Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras.
In 2021 it was recalled that the vice president was tasked with the investigation and security of the northern border region of the country in which the republicans have accused her of failing woefully in her duties as the number two person in the country.
In the history of American democracy it has
never recorded such huge numbers of illegal immigration into the country and also the fact that most of these immigrants are being housed and given substantial legal rights and protections.
