spotlighting his leading role last spring in killing a bipartisan deal to curb illegal border crossings.<\/p>\n<p>A preview of her speech in Douglas, Arizona, across from neighboring Agua Prieta in

Trump has long viewed bipartisan governance as weak, and a political win for vulnerable Democratic congressional candidates in this high-stakes election cycle could have stung the GOP.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, Harris plans to announce that, if elected, she\u2019ll reintroduce the bill, which would multiply border agents and strengthen asylum laws. She\u2019ll tout her experience as a former prosecutor taking on drug and human smuggling cartels and announce that stopping the<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>flow of lethal fentanyl across the border will be \u201ca top priority,\u201d the senior campaign aide said. Harris will propose adding new fentanyl detection machines at U.S. entry points. An ad touting her proposals is running in Arizona and other border states.<\/p>\n<p>The Democratic candidate\u2019s trip to the border is designed to counter claims by Trump and his MAGA allies that Harris and the Biden administration opened the floodgates to \u201cillegal aliens.\u201d Both Trump and Vance have spread outlandish claims that Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, have been stealing and eating residents\u2019 pet dogs and cats, leading a group to\u00a0<a class=\"TrackingLink LinkWrapper\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/lawyer-for-haitian-group-slams-maga-congressmans-racist-rant\" aria-label=\"\">seek criminal charges<\/a>\u00a0against them.<\/p>\n<p>The Trump campaign on Friday ridiculed Harris, who Trump routinely calls the Biden administration&#8217;s \u201cborder czar,\u201d for taking a trip to the border to \u201crewrite the past 44 months of chaos, crime, and bloodshed caused by her open border policy.\u201d Campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt said voters are \u201csmart enough to realize Kamala Harris has been in charge of the border for four years and she has failed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As anti-immigration sentiment among voters has soared, according to\u00a0<a class=\"LinkWrapper LinkWrapper--external\" href=\"https:\/\/news.gallup.com\/poll\/647123\/sharply-americans-curb-immigration.aspx#:~:text=Gallup%20has%20asked%20Americans%20about,and%2018%25%20wanted%20increased%20immigration\">Gallup polling<\/a>, Trump and Vance have hammered the issue constantly on the campaign trail.
