Vice President Kamala Harris made her first visit to the southern U.S. border in over three years, addressing the issue of immigration. She called for tougher security measures, including new fentanyl detection machines and more Border Patrol agents. Harris also plans to press China to crack down on companies that make the precursor chemicals used to make fentanyl. She is proposing tighter asylum restrictions and stronger emergency authorities, going beyond President Biden’s executive action earlier this year. Harris has been critical of former President Trump’s handling of immigration and accused him of wanting to run on the problem rather than solve it. The debate over immigration is critical in battleground Arizona, with ranchers and community members expressing differing opinions on the issue. Some support Harris and appreciate her efforts to address immigration concerns, while others, like rancher John Ladd, are skeptical of her intentions and believe she wants an open border. The issue has been polarizing in border communities, with some feeling tired of the heated rhetoric surrounding immigration. Overall, the debate over immigration policy remains a hot topic in the region and has the potential to influence political perceptions leading up to the next election.
