Kamala Harris is promoting her tough stance on border security in her latest campaign ads, even highlighting portions of Trump’s border wall. This comes after the Biden administration has faced ongoing criticism for its handling of the southern border, particularly during the early days of their term.
Harris’ use of the wall, a symbol of Trump's border policies, has raised eyebrows given the administration's previous actions regarding immigration enforcement.
Reminder: The Biden-Harris White House wrote nearly 300 executive orders to open our border in just their FIRST YEAR in office.

The Biden administration has made several policy changes related to border security since taking office. In their first year, they issued nearly 300 executive orders that affected the border and immigration system.

Critics argue these changes weakened border security and contributed to the rise in illegal crossings. However, the administration has defended its approach, claiming their policies are aimed at creating a more humane and efficient immigration system.
Senator John Kennedy recently pointed out the number of executive orders issued, underscoring the extent of the policy shifts. He noted that these orders contributed to the border becoming more open, allowing thousands of migrants to enter the country each day.
Kennedy has consistently voiced his concerns about the administration’s handling of the border crisis and has called for stricter measures to prevent illegal immigration.

The Biden administration also promoted a bipartisan immigration bill aimed at addressing the border situation. Despite this, many critics believe the bill has done little to curb the flow of illegal immigrants into the country. The bill's supporters argue it balances enforcement with the need for comprehensive immigration reform.
Alongside border security, the administration has faced pushback for opposing voter ID laws and other measures intended to prevent illegal immigrants from participating in elections.
While Harris’ campaign spots attempt to portray her as strong on border security, the reality of the administration’s actions since taking office tells a more complex story.
The use of Trump’s wall in her ads may appeal to some voters, but questions remain about the overall effectiveness of the administration's border policies.
