Well, it seems our Southern border has become Kamala’s comedy club, but nobody’s cracking a smile. During a recent speech, former President Donald Trump didn’t hold back, roasting Vice President Kamala Harris for her handling of immigration issues. Trump’s quips hit the mark, pointing out how Harris has overseen what can only be described as a revolving door for illegal immigration. Under her watch, a staggering 21 million people have strolled into the country over the past three years. And no, these aren’t all your friendly neighborhood baristas; many are lawbreakers, including killers, drug peddlers, and human smugglers. Way to go, Kamala.
But wait, there’s more! Trump accused the Biden-Harris Administration of advocating for open borders—until they didn’t. Oh, the irony! Suddenly, they’re pretending to care about border security. Trump blasted this influx, arguing that many immigrants are now taking advantage of American social programs like Social Security and Medicare. We’re not just welcoming dreams; we’re apparently welcoming risks to national security, with more terrorists sneaking in, according to Trump. Keep in mind, this is the administration that halted the border wall construction mid-way, leaving the floodgates wide open.
Polling Data: Trump’s Immigration Advantage
Trump vs. Harris on Immigration
| Poll | Trump’s Lead |
|---|---|
| Fox News | 14 points |
| Marist | 16 points |
| Marquette University | 18 points |
| Wall Street Journal | 13 points |
Polling data seems to back up Trump’s arguments. Immigration isn’t just a hot topic; it’s scorching for voters as the 2024 election approaches. And guess who’s winning on this front? Trump. He’s outpacing Harris on immigration by big margins in various polls, as shown in the table above. Even better, all these polls were conducted after President Biden announced he wouldn’t be seeking re-election.
Trump Administration’s Border Achievements
Let’s toss in some Trump Administration accomplishments to spice things up. Remember the ‘Migrant Protection Protocols’? This was a groundbreaking partnership with Mexico to ensure asylum-seekers waited for their hearings safely in Mexico, not inside the U.S. And yes, we can’t ignore the infamous border wall. Over 400 miles of it got built, and areas where the wall was constructed saw illegal crossings drop by 87%. Talk about getting things done!
Harris’s Approach: Word Salads and Roundtables
Meanwhile, Harris seems to think roundtable discussions and her famous ‘word salads’ can fix problems, but that’s hardly the way to tackle national security. At one point, didn’t she enlighten us with, “We must together, work together, to see where we are, where we are headed, but also see it as a moment to, yes, together, make a statement”? While that sounds like something from a bad high school debate club, it’s hardly reassuring coming from the Vice President of the United States.
Conclusion: The Immigration Showdown
So what’s next? A magic trick where immigrants vanish from the immigration statistics? The stakes are high, and voters know it. Donald Trump has laid out a roadmap of results, while Harris seems lost in a maze of her own making. As we gear up for the 2024 elections, let’s remember who had America’s back and who left the gates wide open.
