Donald Trump’s latest ad criticizes Kamala Harris as a “failed border czar,” blaming her for the high number of illegal border crossings and drug overdoses.
Trump’s campaign argues that Harris, appointed by President Biden to address the border crisis, has not succeeded in her role.
The ad highlights statistics like 10 million illegal crossings and 250,000 fentanyl-related deaths, calling Harris “failed, weak, dangerously liberal.” The Trump campaign’s message is clear: Harris has not handled the border issue effectively.
Harris’s team disputes these claims, accusing Trump of spreading lies. They argue that Harris was not responsible for border enforcement but was tasked with addressing the root causes of migration from Central America.
Harris has worked on raising funds for job creation in the region and met with leaders in Central America to tackle migration issues.
Critics argue that Harris’s efforts have had little impact on the surge of migrants at the U.S. border, and the funds raised are insignificant compared to the larger issue of remittances sent home by migrants.
Supporters of Harris counter that her role has been misrepresented and point to a significant drop in immigration from Central America as evidence of progress.
The debate over Harris’s effectiveness as the “border czar” is likely to continue, especially as Trump and his allies continue to highlight this issue in their campaign messaging.
Meanwhile, Harris’s team plans to emphasize her past achievements and ongoing efforts to address the immigration crisis.
