Vice President Harris, the Democratic candidate for the US presidential election, visited Douglas, Arizona, on the 27th, touring the border area for the first time since being nominated as the party’s candidate. Harris aimed to address criticism from Republican candidate Trump, who accused him of causing an increase in illegal immigration.

Arizona is a crucial battleground state that will determine the outcome of the presidential election, with countermeasures against illegal immigration being a key issue. Harris visited the border wall and received a briefing from Border Patrol agents.

At a rally held afterwards, Harris criticized Trump, stating that he had “done nothing to improve the immigration system” during his term as president. Harris emphasized his commitment to balancing stricter enforcement with the acceptance of legal immigrants, aiming to eliminate the negative image surrounding his immigration policies.
