Kamala Harris is emphasizing her strong position on border security in her recent campaign advertisements, which includes showcasing sections of Trump’s border wall.
This move comes as the Biden administration continues to receive criticism for its management of the southern border, especially in the initial stages of their term.
The use of Trump’s border wall, a representation of his immigration policies, by Harris has sparked interest due to the administration’s prior approaches to immigration enforcement.
Reminder: The Biden-Harris White House wrote nearly 300 executive orders to open our border in just their FIRST YEAR in office.

Since assuming office, the Biden administration has implemented numerous border security policy adjustments. Throughout their inaugural year, they enacted close to 300 executive orders impacting the immigration and border systems.
Detractors assert that these alterations have compromised border security and led to an uptick in unauthorized border crossings.
Nevertheless, the administration has defended its strategy, contending that its policies are geared towards establishing a more compassionate and efficient immigration framework.
Senator John Kennedy recently highlighted the volume of executive orders issued, emphasizing the scale of the policy changes.
He observed that these orders have contributed to a more permeable border, enabling thousands of migrants to enter the country daily.

Kennedy has consistently expressed his apprehensions about the administration’s management of the border crisis and has advocated for stricter measures to thwart illegal immigration.
The Biden administration has endorsed a bipartisan immigration bill aimed at addressing the border situation. However, critics argue that the bill has not significantly stemmed the influx of illegal immigrants into the country. Proponents of the bill assert that it strikes a balance between enforcement and comprehensive immigration reform.
In addition to border security concerns, the administration has encountered opposition for its stance against voter ID laws and other measures designed to prevent illegal immigrants from participating in elections.
Despite attempts in campaign advertisements to depict Vice President Harris as strong on border security, the actions taken by the administration since assuming office present a more intricate narrative.
On Wednesday, September 4, 2024, Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee for president and current Vice President, spoke to her supporters at Throwback Brewery in North Hampton.
While her ads featuring Trump’s wall may resonate with certain voters, doubts persist regarding the administration’s border policies and their efficacy.
