During a visit to the US-Mexico border in Douglas, Arizona, Vice President Kamala Harris criticized former President Donald Trump for "playing political games" regarding immigration, a key issue for him. In her remarks, Harris aimed to transform one of her significant vulnerabilities into a political advantage. Harris emphasized the dual identity of the United States as both a "sovereign nation" and a "country of immigrants." She outlined her commitment to enhancing security at the southern border while also addressing the need to reform the immigration system, which she described as "broken."

Vice President Harris travels to the US-Mexico border in an effort to confront former President Trump on immigration issues. Her strategy aims to attract voters by highlighting Trump's opposition to a stringent border security bill proposed earlier this year.
