Where Trump and Harris stand on immigration and border security

Immigration is one of the key issues of the November election, with many voters concerned over the number of migrants who have entered the U.S. during the Biden administration

WASHINGTON — Immigration is one of the key issues in the November election, with many voters concerned over the numbers of migrants who have entered the U.S. during the Biden administration.

Republicans have repeatedly hammered President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris on the issue and painted a picture of an out-of-control immigration system where migrants are straining services as would-be terrorists and criminals take advantage of the chaos to infiltrate the country.

After coming into office promising a kinder approach to immigration, Biden administration officials found themselves struggling to control the southern border. They have cracked down on asylum access but also created new ways for migrants to come to America and for some of those already here to become citizens .
