Former President Donald Trump is planning a visit to the U.S.-Mexico border on Thursday during a two-day campaign sweep through Arizona, according to reports.<\/p>\n
Trump\u2019s border visit will be in Cochise County ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris\u2019 nomination acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention on Thursday. From there, he\u2019ll travel to Glendale for a rally at the Desert Diamond Arena, the same venue where Harris appeared earlier this month. The former president will visit at 11:30 a.m. local time.<\/p>\n
This week\u2019s visit to Arizona is Trump\u2019s second in as many months. He also did a rally in Phoenix in June.<\/p>\n
The GOP nominee plans to address immigration policy in Arizona, a crucial swing state, as Republicans aim to counter Harris\u2019 momentum by highlighting an issue where Democrats are perceived to be vulnerable, Newsweek noted<\/a>.<\/p>\n Harris and the Democrats are facing mounting criticism from Republicans, who argue that their approach to border security and immigration policy lacks toughness. Republicans hold the vice president responsible for the high numbers of illegal crossings that have occurred during the Biden-Harris administration after the president tasked her with mitigating illegal immigration and tightening border security, which she clearly has failed to do.<\/p>\n Trump\u2019s campaign said there\u2019s \u201cno end in sight for Kamala Harris\u2019 border crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWhile failed border czar Kamala Harris adopts the Biden Basement strategy to hide from the illegal immigrant invasion created by her radical policies, President Trump will be visiting the southern border again. President Trump knows how important the border crisis is to Americans and will once again deliver on his promise to stop the invasion, secure the border, and make America safe.\u201d Taylor Rogers, a Republican National Committee spokesperson, told Newsweek.<\/p>\n This week, Democrats\u2014including a Texas border sheriff\u2014blamed Trump for \u2018interfering\u2019 in the passage of what they deemed a \u201ctough\u201d border security measure earlier this year. But GOP lawmakers refused to back it because it still allowed thousands of migrants to illegally enter the U.S. daily. Also, they argued that Biden, through executive actions and existing laws, already had the power to dramatically tighten immigration and border security. Finally, Republicans noted that Trump was able to successfully deal with border security during his term but Biden, on his first day in office, signed executive orders reversing nearly all of his policies.<\/p>\n Democrats have also argued that Harris was never appointed as \u201cborder czar,\u201d but rather was tasked by Biden to deal with the \u201croot causes\u201d of mass migration out of Central America. To that point, the former head of the U.S. Border Patrol\u2019s union said<\/a> earlier this month she utterly failed in that assignment as well.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s very disappointing,\u201d Brandon Judd told Fox News<\/a>. \u201cWe gave her the policies that she needed to implement. She refused to implement those.\u201d<\/p>\n Judd, who worked as the union chief for most of the current administration, said the issues Harris identified were not the reason behind spikes in crossings.<\/p>\n \u201cThe major problem is the root causes she identified: political instability, climate and crime,\u201d Judd said. \u201cThat was the same under President Trump, yet we did not see an explosion in illegal immigration under the Trump administration.\u201d<\/p>\n Under Biden-Harris, the present administration, Judd contended, increases in illegal crossings reached unprecedented heights because of the \u201cmagnet that [Harris] created, which is allowing people to be released into the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n Harris has long advocated for more lax enforcement for undocumented migrants. While serving as California\u2019s attorney general in 2015, she said an \u201cundocumented immigrant is not a criminal.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m a career prosecutor. I\u2019ve personally prosecuted everything from low-level offenses to homicides. Unfortunately, I know what crime looks like. I know what a criminal looks like who\u2019s committing a crime. An undocumented immigrant is not a criminal,\u201d Harris said at the time.<\/p>\n In a 2019 interview with NPR, while serving as a California U.S. senator, Harris said she disagreed \u201cwith any policy that would turn America\u2019s back on people who are fleeing harm.\u201d<\/p>\n The post Trump To Visit U.S.-Mexico Border During Arizona Campaign Sweep<\/a> appeared first on Conservative Brief<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Former President Donald Trump is planning a visit to the U.S.-Mexico border on Thursday during a two-day campaign sweep through Arizona, according to reports.
