Immigration Harris is traveling to the border in the key battleground state of Arizona in this campaign. She’s closing the gap on Donald Trump.

Riding on patrol with them on asylum claims we see first hand since President Biden put those new asylum restrictions in place in June he has seen a massive decrease in encounters at the border. Sixty percent in this area alone, but Trump is well aware that polls show immigration is a winning issue for him. He has tried to pin the situation at the border entirely on Harris promising and taking aggressive action. We will stop the invasion and launch the largest deportation operation in American history.
