Special Poll
- Former President Trump has increased his criticism of Vice President Kamala Harris regarding her role in immigration issues, specifically calling for her impeachment.
- Over the weekend, Trump posted on his Truth Social platform: “Kamala’s Illegal Migrants. It’s the biggest crime story of our time. She should resign or be IMPEACHED!”
- While campaigning in Erie, Pennsylvania, Trump reinforced his stance, claiming that Harris’ actions at the border had led to “hundreds of people being murdered” and warning that “thousands more will follow in rapid succession.” He once again called for her impeachment and prosecution.
- These comments came shortly after Harris visited the U.S. southern border in Arizona, a trip she made on Friday.
- Trump’s criticism of Harris over immigration is not new. Before her Arizona visit, he stated at an event at Trump Tower that the U.S. has been experiencing the “worst border crisis in the history of the world” during her tenure. He referred to her as the “architect of this destruction.”
- Vice President Harris has tried to present herself as being “tough” on border security. She has criticized Trump for causing the collapse of a bipartisan border security bill.
- At a rally in Nevada this past August, Harris said, “Donald Trump talks a big game about border security, but he does not walk the walk.”
- She added that a tough bipartisan border security bill had a chance to pass earlier this year, but Trump “tanked” the bill, believing it would help him in the upcoming election.
- Harris vowed to sign the legislation into law if elected president, promising to take action on the border issue if given the opportunity.
