U.S. border workers representing unions on Friday criticized Vice President Kamala Harris, claiming that presidential candidate “ignored the border problems she created.”

Labor unions weren't the only ones criticizing Harris' visit to Arizona on Friday. A border “czar” has come under fire for apparently wearing a $62,000 Tiffany necklace while visiting the deteriorating border.
Harris visited the town of about 17,000 people to fill a spot on one of the weakest political fronts in a closely contested race with white Americans, with plans to fix its “broken immigration system.” talked about. House of Representatives with Republican candidate Donald Trump (78).
Her first visit to the southern border since 2021, when she visited El Paso, Texas, was announced on the same day that more than 15,000 illegal immigrants currently living in the United States have been convicted or convicted of murder. This comes shortly after federal data was released showing that
Harris is unlikely to receive support from the NBPC.
