Harris and Trump Clash Over Immigration Policies as Election Nears
In the 2024 campaign, Vice President Harris and former President Trump present starkly different approaches to border and immigration issues.
- Vice President Harris supports a failed bipartisan border bill that included new asylum restrictions and $20 billion for border resources, contrasting with Trump's opposition to the plan.
- Trump has proposed the largest deportation operation in U.S. history and aims to end birthright citizenship and chain migration if re-elected.
- Harris has been criticized for not achieving significant results on border security, with some voters expressing frustration over her performance.
- The U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021, supported by Harris, aimed to provide pathways to citizenship for millions of undocumented immigrants but was never enacted.
- Both candidates have been scrutinized for their handling of asylum policies, with Trump implementing Title 42 and Harris maintaining some restrictions under the Biden administration.
