Harris, Trump Focus on Swing States Before Election

Vice President Kamala Harris visited Douglas, Arizona, marking her first trip to the U.S.-Mexico border since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee. Harris aims to tighten asylum restrictions, diverging from President Joe Biden's policies, and address criticisms from former President Donald Trump and Republicans on the Biden administration's immigration record. During her visit, she met with local officials and Border Patrol agents, emphasizing the need for stronger border security and more resources to curb fentanyl smuggling. This move signifies her attempt to strengthen her stance on immigration, a key issue in the battleground state of Arizona, and to counter Trump's criticisms. However, her tougher border policies have sparked concerns among progressive activists who fear she may be compromising too much on pro-immigrant policies.
