In a town hall with Univision on Thursday, Vice President Kamala Harris, the 2024 Democratic presidential candidate, answered a question about how she differs from President Joe Biden on the border issue, saying, “She's the top law enforcement officer in America's largest state.” He was an enforcement officer.” This country, California. ” and “I intend my record to be second to none in terms of the work I have done and continue to do to ensure safe borders,” and work on human trafficking. said that he had done so. Harris also said she will “focus our efforts on what we must do to ensure an orderly and humane path to citizenship for hardworking people.”
“What probably sets me apart from at least some people is that I was the chief law enforcement officer in the largest state in this country, California, which is also a border state. I fought against transnational criminal organizations that trafficked in guns, drugs, and people. I led a bipartisan group of attorneys general to Mexico City. We've worked with the Mexican Attorney General to combine intelligence and resources to prosecute these cases, including those heading south and those heading north. So what I've done is to ensure we have a secure border. I intend my record to be second to none in terms of the work I have done and continue to do.”
She then turned to the Senate border bill, which Biden also supports, and said it has been working on human trafficking.
Harris continued, “I will reinstate the border security bill, sign it into law, and focus on what we must do to ensure an orderly and humane path to citizenship for hardworking people. I will continue to work hard on it,” he added.
