A country must protect its borders.
Should it even be a question?

[pollutingpenguin]

She has had 4 years to fix the border.

[chrisschene]

Bs. You are misrepresenting the bill. The bill would change the definition of who is legal by making it easier to claim asylum. It's a slight of hand.

[lollipop-zpuy]

That immigration bill allowed 2M immigrants before any restrictions kicked in. That bill was Dead on arrival.

[Chris-sejr]

Most of these poll questions do a terrible job of separating legal immigration (including legitimate asylum claims) from illegal immigration. It's so blatant sometimes that I have to assume that it's on purpose.

[iikittyplayz]

I'm a democrat, and we need more immigration judges. I hope the bill includes that.

[TuckerOlson]

I find it interesting that WSJ chose to not include any mention as to the "why" behind Republicans not supporting the Democrats' proposed border security bill.

[taylorlibby]

🙄No she doesn't. She dngaf about border security. No one, not even Democrats, thinks that she does.🙄

[Semper_Iratus]

After 4 years in office, now harris is concerned about the border. 😂😅😂😅😂

[munyumbamutwale]

The irony was immigration was a Republican issue until republican governors started bussing illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities then all of a sudden Democrats were like MAN WE GOTTA FIX THIS BORDER 😂😂

Lesson: Dump the problem at the feet of the people who don't think its a problem and then watch them change their minds 😂😂😂😂

[RAZ]

Is there ANY issue Harris hasn't flip-flopped?

[ramstrong]

Sky News Australia - CNN call out Kamala Harris for using Trump's border wall in campaign AD

[kartickshirur]

It’s unfortunate that Immigration Policies are primarily focused on Illegal immigration and asylum. I wish candidates also address issues with legal immigration and how they would fix them (e.g., insane decades-long green card queues for Indian and Chinese citizens that are employed, and pay income, Medicare/Medicaid, and Social Security taxes).

[michael]

Harris had her chance on the border. Time for her to go.

[ralphgomeze]

It’s insane to think you can illegally come to the US from Mexico on a freight train and end up in a hotel in NYC. What a joke !!! Democrat Party policy to have them to stay in power along with no voter id.

[farright]

3:30 its a shthouse bill

It allows 1.2M illegal immigrant a year into the US

[The_Ransomed]

Legal and Illegal Immigration are 2 different things…

[John-henryDuckworth]

For a long time, WSJ did journalism on this video that is very well balanced.

Error from WSJ did is that Trump never said immigrants cause crime. He said illegal immigrants have a higher crime rate. Illegal is extremely important

[sasstewart]

anyone else distracted by the woman blue that keeps reading and shifting her eyes down and up when reading. 👀

[fanman]

amnesty for illegals and their anchors or enforcing the laws on the books. Trump 2024
