Republican vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance is not holding back when it comes to criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris and the Biden administration’s handling of the U.S.-Mexico border. During a recent visit to Cochise County, Arizona, Vance expressed his disbelief at the situation, stating that it is “hard to believe” until you see it with your own eyes.
Vance highlighted the impact of the administration’s policies, such as stopping deportations on day one, halting construction of the border wall, reinstating catch and release, and ending the remain in Mexico policy. He emphasized the negative consequences of these actions, including overwhelming schools with migrant children and increasing wait times at hospitals due to illegal aliens.
Describing the ongoing immigration crisis as a “human toll,” Vance called for truth in reporting from the media and urged Harris to change course on her approach to the border. He emphasized the need for commonsense policies such as re-implementing remain in Mexico, ending catch and release, finishing the border wall, and reinstating deportations.
Vance’s visit to the border included meetings with local border patrol agents and farmers, where he reiterated the importance of securing the border and implementing effective policies. The Harris campaign responded to Vance’s criticisms by highlighting her record of fighting to secure the border and address immigration issues.
As the debate over the U.S.-Mexico border continues to be a hot topic in the political arena, Vance’s strong stance on the issue is sure to resonate with voters concerned about border security and immigration policies.
