DOUGLAS, Ariz.—Vice President Kamala Harris visited the U.S.–Mexico border in Douglas, Arizona, on Sept. 27 to address the nation’s illegal immigration crisis.

Harris called for tightening restrictions on asylum as former President Donald Trump continues to lead on the topic of immigration among many of the nation’s voters, according to polls.
