Kamala Harris has been actively responding to Donald Trump's criticisms of her immigration record. In an effort to counter these attacks, her campaign released a video in July highlighting her support for increasing the number of Border Patrol agents and criticizing Trump's role in derailing a bipartisan immigration deal that included stringent border security measures.
In June, the White House announced a crackdown on asylum claims aimed at further reducing crossings at the US-Mexico border. Harris' campaign manager, Julie Chavez Rodriguez, indicated that this policy would continue under a potential Harris administration.
