Trump Criticizes Harris Over Border Control
President Trump launched a scathing attack on Kamala Harris on Thursday, ahead of the Democratic nominee's scheduled appearance at the border on Friday. Trump criticized Harris, who is reportedly the 'border czar' in the current administration, for letting Central and South American countries inundate the US with their "criminals".
Trump's Remarks on Border Situation
Trump claimed that these countries are emptying their jails and sending their criminals to the US. "They've taken their drug dealers and they've emptied their jails almost. They'll be emptied very soon, within the next two months. I guess they can't get enough buses," Trump said. He added that these countries are bringing people to the US at record levels and despite this, the crime rate is the lowest it has been in recent memory.
Trump's Criticism of Harris
Trump continued his critique by comparing the situation in Caracas, which he described as a safe and wonderful city, to the worsening conditions in US cities due to the "horrible invasion" that he attributed to Harris. "Unlike our cities that are getting worse and worse with this horrible invasion that Kamala, in particular, because I’m no fan of Biden. He’s been a terrible president, doesn't know what he’s doing," Trump said.
Trump on Harris's Role
Trump went on to criticize Biden for assigning Harris the responsibility of the border. "But you know what? He assigned her the job. And whether you call her a border czar or just say that she was put in charge of the border, doesn’t make any difference," Trump commented. He added that Harris has done a terrible job and predicted that she will stand in front of the wall he built and claim she did a good job, a claim that he believes the media will support.
Harris's Visit to the Border
Harris is scheduled to visit the border in Arizona, marking only her second visit in four years to witness the crisis that has unfolded under her watch. However, it has been pointed out that she isn't really going to the border, but rather stopping off there for a photo before going somewhere else.
The Border Wall Debate
Over the past week, Harris's supporters have been promoting the idea that a border wall is a good idea, but only if Harris is elected. This has led to criticism that if it's Trump's wall, it's considered "ridiculous".
Bottom Line
The issue of border control continues to be a contentious topic in US politics. The criticism from Trump towards Harris highlights the deep divides that exist on this issue. It remains to be seen how Harris's visit to the border will impact the ongoing debate. What are your thoughts on this matter? Do you think the criticism is justified?
