Trump and Harris Clash Over Immigration Policies
The presidential candidates present starkly different visions on immigration, with Trump advocating for mass deportations and Harris supporting reform and border security.
- Trump proposes rapid deportations of millions of undocumented immigrants, using the National Guard and military for enforcement.
- Harris, once supportive of decriminalizing illegal crossings, now backs tougher border security measures and a bipartisan border bill.
- Trump's immigration rhetoric includes controversial claims about immigrants, while Harris emphasizes an immigrant-inclusive narrative.
- The bipartisan border bill, supported by Harris, includes increased border agents and detention beds but was halted by Trump's influence over Republican lawmakers.
- Experts warn Trump's mass deportation plan could significantly disrupt the U.S. economy, with undocumented immigrants deeply integrated into communities.
