Republican vice-presidential nominee JD Vance visited Cochise County, Arizona, to address border issues and criticize the Biden administration's immigration policies. During his visit, Vance called out the halting of border wall construction and the cessation of deportations, positioning these actions as failures by Vice President Kamala Harris. Despite Biden's executive order in June that has significantly reduced migrant apprehensions, local officials in Cochise County emphasized ongoing concerns about drug and human smuggling. Vance's tour included meetings with local law enforcement and ranchers, highlighting the impact of border activity on the community. Sierra Vista Mayor Clea McCaa and Cochise County Sheriff Mark Dannels stressed the need for more resources and political accountability to address these challenges.
