Immigration Policies of Harris and Trump: A Closer Look

WASHINGTON – Immigration is one of the key issues in the upcoming election, drawing significant voter concern over the increasing numbers of migrants entering the U.S. during the Biden administration.

Republicans have consistently criticized President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for their handling of the immigration system, highlighting security threats posed by unchecked migration.

Despite initial promises of a more compassionate approach to immigration, the Biden administration faced challenges in managing the southern border, resulting in a shift towards stricter asylum policies while introducing new pathways for legal migration and citizenship for existing residents.

The administration claims a decline in border crossings this summer as evidence of policy effectiveness.
