US presidential elections: Kamala Harris vows to fix broken immigration system – Times of India
As Kamala Harris paid her first visit to the southern borders after becoming the presidential candidate, the Democrat vowed to the broken immigration system of the States.
“As your president, I will protect our nation’s sovereignty, secure our border, and work to fix our broken system of immigration. And I will partner with Democrats, Republicans, and Independents to do it,” she said in a post on X.
“As Attorney General of California, I prosecuted transnational criminal organizations that trafficked guns, drugs, and human beings.I know the importance of safety and security, especially at our border. Today, I visited the US-Mexico border and spoke with Customs and Border Protection officials about our progress to secure our border and disrupt the flow of illegal fentanyl into our nation,” she said as she shared the pictures of the visit.
Harris, drawing from her experience as a former attorney general of a border state, emphasized her comprehension of the significance of border security and law enforcement. She highlighted her role in prosecuting transnational criminal organizations involved in the illegal trade of firearms, narcotics, and human trafficking.
“On behalf of all communities across our nation that want to see these problems solved I say: We cannot accept Donald Trump’s failure to lead. We should not permit scapegoating instead of solutions. Or rhetoric instead of results,” she said.
Criticising this, Trump said, “She let our cities fail violent gangs. She let our American sons and daughters be raped and murdered at the hands of vicious monsters. She let American communities be conquered. You go out to Aurora in Colorado, where they’re taking over with AK-47s. They’re taking over real estate. Kamala turned cherished small towns into blighted refugee camps.”
