Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker defended Vice President Kamala Harris' border policy against former President Donald Trump's attacks, stating that it is natural to adapt policies to meet the current moment. Harris recently visited the US southern border in Arizona to address immigration and border security, a key issue in her presidential campaign. During her visit, she outlined plans to expand on President Joe Biden's border restrictions targeting asylum seekers, a significant departure from her previous stance on decriminalizing illegal border crossings.
Pritzker highlighted the global trend of increased migration over the past four years, emphasizing the need for policy adjustments to address the situation. While he had been critical of the Biden administration's immigration handling last year, Pritzker now supports Harris' approach, particularly her advocacy for a bipartisan border security bill that was previously blocked by Trump.
Addressing the complexity of the immigration issue, Pritzker acknowledged the challenges in finding solutions without legislative support. He emphasized the importance of bipartisan cooperation in resolving border security issues effectively.
