Key Issues Surrounding Kamala Harris and Immigration Under the Biden Administration
The surge in immigration under the Biden administration has become a key attack line for Republicans against Vice President Kamala Harris. With numbers increasing at the Mexico border, Trump’s base is angered and the Trump campaign is seeking to portray Harris as lax on border control.
During the presidential debate, Trump highlighted what he called a “crisis” at the US-Mexico border and warned of turning the US into “Venezuela on steroids” with illegal immigrants if Harris wins in November. Harris defended herself by pointing out her record of prosecuting transnational organizations.
While the economy remains the most important issue for American voters, the Biden administration is touting its low unemployment and robust growth record. However, voters are still concerned about inflation pushing up prices for everyday goods.
Harris is also focusing on key issues like abortion rights to target women voters. Trump, who has appointed judges who overturned Roe v Wade, is trying to distance himself from calls for more restrictive abortion laws.
The Democrats are emphasizing the importance of democracy in this election, criticizing Trump for his attempts to overturn the 2020 election results. Healthcare costs are also a major concern for voters, with Harris supporting building on the Affordable Care Act and tackling drug prices, while Trump has shifted his position to improving Obamacare and reducing health costs.
