Trump Campaign Alleges Kamala Harris's Policies Endanger US Security in New Ad

The Trump campaign has launched a new advertisement targeting battleground states, asserting that Kamala Harris's 'dangerously liberal' policies contributed to a surge in illegal immigration at the Southern border, a claim strongly denied by the Harris campaign. Senior Trump advisor Danielle Alvarez accused Harris of causing increased migrant crimes, raising fentanyl deaths, and escalating human trafficking, stating that America has become less safe under her watch.

The campaign contrasted Trump's claimed achievement of creating 'the most secure border in our country's history' with Harris's tenure as 'Border Czar,' which they claim opened 'floodgates to millions of illegal immigrants.' They further alleged that Harris's future plans include granting benefits and amnesty to undocumented immigrants, as indicated by Senator Elizabeth Warren.

Responding to the ad, the Harris campaign released a video emphasizing Harris's role in achieving record-low border crossings and enhancing community safety throughout her career. Accusing Trump of siding with drug traffickers and blocking crucial reforms, Harris spokesperson Ammar Moussa highlighted her extensive background in law enforcement and her commitment to making communities safer.
