ATLANTA — At the conclusion of a Herschel Walker campaign event in Gwinnett County last month, Republican voter Claire Harrison used a football term — “flood the zone” — to describe what is taking place at the southern U.S. border, one of the issues that most animates her in the lead-up to Election Day.
In her view, record-setting numbers of migrant apprehensions along the U.S.-Mexico border under President Joe Biden are “overwhelming the system.”
“It’s out of control. ... All countries (need) a monitored border for the safety of their citizens. We’re no different,” she said. “It’s hard to even recognize our country.”
