US: Harris To Deliver Remarks At US-Mexico Border Shortly

US

Vice President Kamala Harris is shortly due to deliver remarks on immigration at the US-Mexico border in Douglas, Arizona. The trip will be her second to the border since assuming the vice presidency, following a visit to El Paso, Texas in June 2021. LIVESTREAM

  • Harris likely has two goals for her border trip: First, to make a case that the border crisis is now under control; second, argue that the crisis was exacerbated by Trump’s decision to tank a bipartisan border security deal.
  • Data suggests that migrant encounters have dropped significantly since President Biden enacted a strict set of Executive Actions in the summer and bolstered cooperation with Mexico. Politico notes: “Border crossings are now as low as they were during Trump’s last month in office...”
  • The improved situation on the border has been reflected in polling. An NBC News survey found that Trump had a 35-point lead over Biden earlier in the year. In their most recent survey, Harris has cut that lead to 14 points. A notable improvement, but still a vulnerability for Harris.
  • On the second count, Harris’ case against Trump may fall flat. While voters generally accept that Trump contributed to the collapse of the bipartisan border bill, the Republican argument that Democrats waited too long to confront the border crisis is persuasive.
  • Politico reports that, according to aides, Harris will call for more resources for border agents and propose new detection machines for fentanyl at border entry ports.
