Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance has attributed the Biden administration's border security failures to Vice President Kamala Harris during a recent campaign swing through Nevada and Arizona. Beginning in Henderson, Nevada, and concluding with a visit to the border in Cochise County, Arizona, Vance repeatedly pointed to Harris as responsible for the record-breaking number of border crossings seen earlier in the Biden administration.

Addressing a crowd at Liberty High School in Henderson, Vance boldly stated, "Kamala Harris owns every failure of the Biden administration over the last four years." He referred to Harris as a "border czar" and criticized her for supposedly doing little to address the root causes of migration from Northern Triangle countries, an issue President Biden specifically tasked her with.

Vance continued to emphasize this line of attack at a rally in the western suburbs of Phoenix, Arizona, and once again alongside the border wall in Sierra Vista, where he met with border patrol officials and the Cochise County Sheriff's Office. "It's hard to believe until you see with your own eyes just how bad the policies of the Kamala Harris administration have been when it comes to the southern border," Vance expressed on Thursday morning.

Central to Vance's campaign strategy is to put Harris, the leading candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, in the spotlight and hold her accountable for the administration's perceived failures. Alongside Paul Perez, president of the Border Patrol union, Vance vowed to revive deportations and reinstate Trump-era immigration policies such as "Remain in Mexico." He also highlighted Trump's plans to resume construction of the border wall, pointing out abandoned materials along the U.S. side of the fence in Cochise County.

Vance claimed that border patrol agents are "enraged" at the Biden administration because they feel restricted in performing their duties. "This can be stopped," added Perez. "There is a playbook. President Trump had it, and he still has it. They can make it happen."

Immigration, particularly in border communities like those in Cochise County, is considered a winning issue for Republicans, and the Trump campaign hopes it will resonate in swing states like Arizona and Nevada. Just ahead of Vance's visit to the border, three Arizona border officials who had endorsed Harris criticized Republicans for derailing a bipartisan border deal earlier this year, influenced by Trump's lobbying efforts. Biden had expressed his willingness to sign the bill, and Harris had made the same commitment if elected.

One of the officials, Cochise County Supervisor Ann English, accused Trump and Republicans of obstructing actions to secure the border, stating, "That's not fair to Arizonans." English expressed confidence in Vice President Harris's understanding of border communities and dedication to collaborating with state and local officials to address the border crisis.

To counter criticisms of the Biden administration's handling of the border, Harris has emphasized her background as a prosecutor. Prior to her current positions, Harris served as the California attorney general. She has reiterated her commitment to tackling transnational gangs and drug cartels, recalling her first trip as attorney general in 2011, which involved a tour of a drug-smuggling tunnel along the California-Mexico border in Imperial County.

As the campaign heats up, it remains to be seen how the focus on border security and Vice President Harris's role will sway voters in crucial swing states.
