Abbott ordered more razor wire to reinforce the southern border as Harris accused Trump of “fanning the flames of fear” over immigration.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott ordered more razor wire to reinforce the southern border as Vice President Kamala Harris accused the GOP of “fanning the flames of fear” over immigration.
Abbott said in a post on X, formerly Twitter, that “Texas will not back down” from reinforcing border security and keeping “communities safe”.
His remarks come as Kamala Harris seeks to convince voters that she can solve the southern border crisis, amid polling from Redfield and Wilton Strategies that suggests that 47 percent of respondents trust Donald Trump on immigration, compared to 36 percent who for the Vice President.
On Sunday, at a rally in Las Vegas, Harris attacked the rhetoric employed by Trump and the GOP.
“He continues to fan the flames of fear and division”, Harris said at the World Market Center in downtown Las Vegas.
She said tackling the complexities of immigration is serious and “you know Donald Trump won’t solve it.”
“When he was president, he did nothing to fix our immigration system”, she added.
