Trump came into his presidency as a president that would enforce our borders. He pushed for a full wall and got a lot of it. We had fewer illegal aliens than at anytime in the 21st century under Trump. He can genuinely claim that he is a border president. Polls show that border residents see that and are voting for him. That impacts Kamala in swing states like Arizona and New Mexico. It probably cements Texas (above the margin of cheating) for Trump.
Anyway, Kamala “border czar” Harris is changing her rhetoric on the border recently. The reason is likely that polls, and advisors, are telling her to separate herself from Biden’s admin on this issue. Good luck, Kamala lovers.

Border residents in Texas and Arizona shared which presidential candidate they think will best secure the southern border in interviews with Fox News Digital.
"Donald Trump, without a doubt, because he did before, he started sending these folks back home," a rancher in Quemado, Texas, said.
Residents who live along the border overwhelmingly expressed support for former President Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris to return to the White House to secure the southern border.
"100% Trump," a Del Rio, Texas gun shop owner said enthusiastically, adding that if Trump is elected, he will reinstate the border policies of his administration, emphasizing it was better under Trump than the Biden-Harris administration that replaced him.
"Trump… he is the one who will stop this," said a Sierra Vista, Arizona resident who believes the former president will best handle the border crisis.
An Arivaca, Arizona, resident said, "Open border policy of the Biden administration affects our local community greatly, and I am definitely against open borders."
Nearly 9 in 10 voters say the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border is an emergency (44%) or a major problem (43%). That’s an increase since February, when about 8 in 10 felt it was an emergency (41%) or major problem (37%), according to the latest Fox News national survey.
Concern about the border increased most notably among those under age 30 (+20 points), Black voters (+19), Democrats (+14), Hispanic voters (+12), and women (+12).
More blame the Biden administration’s lack of enforcement at the border (71% a great deal or some) than former President Trump and the Senate GOP for failed immigration legislation (57%).
The survey also asks about policy ideas related to immigration and border security and finds 63% favor deporting illegal immigrants back to their home countries. That’s down from 67% in 2023, but nowhere near the 52% low favoring it in 2015 , the first time it was asked.
Trump also has a 19-point lead over Harris on who is trusted most to tackle border security.
