John Giles:
I wouldn’t say that’s an issue. That’s the issue in Arizona.
So that’s an issue that the vice president’s going to have to come to Arizona and convince the people here that she has a good policy and that she is going to work, treating it as a problem to be solved, as opposed to President Trump’s approach, which is to treat it as an issue to be exploited.
Republicans are attempting to blame her for the surges and the chaos at the border. I think there’s blame to be passed all around, going back multiple presidential administrations. But, in particular, I’m disappointed with President Trump’s decision to kill the bipartisan immigration act that Senator Sinema and others worked on so hard.
That would have been a tremendous help at the border. So, again, Vice President Harris is going to have to address this issue head on, especially in border states like Arizona. But I think, when all the facts are on the table, the majority of the blame for the problem there is going to go to President Trump’s attempts to derail a lot of work that has gone into trying to solve that problem.
