Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance recently visited the US southern border in Arizona, where he criticized the Biden administration's border policies, particularly Vice President Kamala Harris' role in what he described as a 'crazy border mess.'
During his tour of a section of the border in Hereford, Arizona, Vance expressed his disbelief at the impact of the current administration's policies on the southern border. He specifically blamed Harris for failing to fulfill promises related to border security, such as halting deportations and construction of the border wall.
Vance refrained from directly mentioning President Joe Biden but repeatedly referred to the 'Harris administration' in his remarks. He lamented the unfinished border wall, attributing the delay to Harris' policies.
Describing the immigration and border security policies of the Biden-Harris administration as 'terrible and idiotic,' Vance argued that these policies have negative consequences for individuals at the border.
Highlighting his personal experience with his mother's drug addiction, Vance accused Harris of allowing dangerous substances like fentanyl to enter the US. He also incorrectly referred to Harris as the 'border czar.'
Vance's visit to the border marked his first since being selected as former President Donald Trump's running mate. His comments reflect the ongoing political debate surrounding immigration and border security in the United States.
