Vice President Kamala Harris is set to make her first visit to the U.S.-Mexico border since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee. She will be in Douglas, Arizona, a town in a battleground state that borders Mexico and faced a surge of asylum seekers last year. Harris's visit comes as former President Donald Trump and Republicans have been criticizing her for the Biden administration's handling of migration.
Immigration and border security are key issues in Arizona, with Trump holding an advantage with voters on these matters. Harris has been working to address these concerns and counter Trump's attacks. She has highlighted the collapse of bipartisan immigration legislation in Congress and the Biden administration's implementation of rules to limit asylum grants when the border is overwhelmed, resulting in a decrease in illegal border crossings.
