Harris enters the immigration debate as a crucial part of her campaign agenda.

Vice President Kamala Harris visited the southern U.S. border to address the issue of immigration, calling for tougher security measures and proposing tighter asylum restrictions. She aims to crack down on companies making fentanyl precursor chemicals and implement stronger emergency authorities. The administration has faced criticism for its handling of the border, with Trump accusing Harris of failing to fix the issue during her time as California’s attorney general. The debate over immigration is particularly critical in battleground Arizona, where ranchers like John Ladd have expressed concerns about border security. Despite the heated rhetoric, some residents, like City Council member Danya Acosta, feel tired of the polarization around the topic and have switched their votes based on the handling of the issue by different administrations. Overall, the concern over immigration continues to be a divisive and significant issue in the region.
