Harris visits crucial border state as immigration record sparks scrutiny: A timeline
Fox News
Vice President Harris is visiting the U.S. southern border for the first time since she went to Texas in 2021 amid an ongoing migrant crisis that has overwhelmed authorities.
"After years of not just ignoring the problem, but helping create it, Vice President Kamala is finally headed down to the border," the National Border Patrol Council said in a statement. "This is nothing more than for her to check the box, but what it is in reality, is a slap in the face towards the men and women that put their lives on the line every day, and also a slap in the face to the American public. Where has she been?" Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.

Harris’ campaign has pointed to her past as a prosecutor, taking on transnational criminal gangs, and says she is the candidate to secure the border as she backs a bipartisan funding bill.
