Vice President Kamala Harris is under fire for her handling of immigration issues, particularly regarding the U.S.-Mexico border.
Critics argue that her responses lack clarity and credibility, attributing the ongoing border crisis to the administration's policies. Meanwhile, a majority of U.S. voters believe that immigrants, regardless of legal status, are taking jobs that citizens are unwilling to fill.
This sentiment highlights the complex dynamics of immigration and labor in the U.S. economy.
.Here are the top political news stories for today.
Honestly, it's frustrating to see Harris and the whole administration fail to address the root causes of immigration. Instead of focusing on militarizing the border or keeping the status quo, we need real reform that actually protects immigrants and provides them opportunities to contribute without living in fear. These workers are doing jobs that many people don’t want to do, and yet they're painted as a problem. If we really value human rights and equality, we should be welcoming them, not scapegoating them. It's time to stop serving corporate interests and start serving the people.
Maybe if the administration actually enforced the border laws instead of ignoring the crisis, we wouldn't be in this mess.
It feels like both sides are just pointing fingers without actually coming up with a balanced, long-term solution to the immigration issue.

It's frustrating that Kamala Harris is getting backlash when we should be focusing on comprehensive immigration reform and supporting immigrants who contribute to our economy.
It’s no surprise that Kamala Harris is facing criticism over the border crisis – it’s been a disaster since day one of this administration. They act like they care about securing the border, but their actions show otherwise. We’re dealing with unchecked illegal immigration, and it's hurting American workers, especially when jobs are already hard to come by. The idea that immigrants are "taking jobs Americans won’t do" is just an excuse to justify the chaos. If wages were fair and the economy wasn’t such a mess, Americans would absolutely be taking those jobs. This administration needs to stop making excuses and prioritize the safety and well-being of its own citizens first.

Most U.S. voters say immigrants – no matter their legal status – mostly take jobs citizens don’t want
Three-quarters of voters say undocumented immigrants fill jobs citizens don’t want, while 61% say the same of legal immigrants.

Rich Lowry: Harris has no credibility on immigration
That Kamala Harris is so tinny and unpersuasive on the border is, in large part, not a product of poor communications skills; rather it is part and parcel of a strategic choice to try to muddy the waters instead of admitting how and why the administration created an utterly avoidable debacle.

Kamala Harris isn’t great at answering questions, but is perhaps at her very worst in addressing the border. This isn’t because she can’t string sentences together (she can,
