Harris Turns Into Border Hawk in New Ad

Vice President Kamala Harris’s new campaign ad features a deep voiceover speaking over images of Border Patrol agents, the border wall, and seized pills and guns. The ad describes Harris, the former California attorney general, as a “border state prosecutor” who “took on drug cartels and captured gang members,” and says that if elected, Harris would hire thousands more border agents and crack down on fentanyl smuggling and human trafficking.(…)

She plays up her law enforcement record, saying Trump wanted to worsen conditions at the border to boost his chances of election when he told Republicans to back out of a deal that would have added Border Patrol agents and immigration officials. “Donald Trump doesn’t care about border security, he only cares about himself,” she said on July 30.(…)

In recent months, Harris has championed a Biden administration effort to take tougher measures at the border to stem illegal migration. In May, Biden moved to limit the number of asylum cases processed at the border, a rightward shift by his administration aimed at slowing the surge in people being brought to the U.S. southern border by smugglers.(…)

The new campaign ad ends with the line: “Fixing the border is hard. So is Kamala Harris.”
