Yet, even as Kamala Harris tries to pretend to flip-flop on the issue, she and her Senate Democrat partners continue to stand behind their dangerous policies that have even opened our doors to some suspected terrorists.

Recent polling data shared with Secrets indicates that concerns over security outpace job-related issues by more than six to one. At 40%, security fears are also twice as prevalent as voter anxieties about crime in urban areas and the estimated $150 billion spent annually on illegal immigrants. <\/p>\n<p>While former President Donald Trump argues that illegal immigrants are taking American jobs, public anxiety is primarily focused on potential terrorists entering the country, especially given an increase in suspected terrorists being apprehended at both the Mexican and Canadian borders. Brian Cavanaugh, a former aide on Trump&#8217;s National Security Council, stated that a significant portion of Americans\u2014both conservatives and moderates\u2014are holding the Biden-Harris administration accountable for what he describes as a serious national security failure related to border management.<\/p>\n<p>Cavanaugh emphasized that this ongoing issue should have significant consequences in future elections due to rising voter concerns linked to illegal immigration, fentanyl trafficking, and associated criminal activities. The Center for Immigration Studies recently reported that Panama has detained or turned away numerous individuals potentially connected to terrorist organizations attempting to reach the U.S., with Director General Jorge Gobea noting challenges in monitoring migrants passing through regions like the Darien Gap.<\/p>\n<p>In a poll conducted by CRC Research for 85 Fund (also known as Honest Elections Project), 42% of respondents attributed blame for the border crisis directly to the Biden administration while only 15% pointed fingers at Congress. Notably, women were more likely than men to disapprove of Vice President Kamala Harris&#8217;s handling of border issues\u2014a potential setback for her presidential aspirations\u2014as 51% expressed dissatisfaction with her performance.<\/p>\n<p>Jessica Anderson from Sentinel Action Fund remarked that voters have observed Harris&#8217;s shortcomings at the southern border over recent years; she believes this polling reflects an unchanging perception among voters regarding Harris\u2019s role as Border Czar amid rising illegal crossings and related violence across cities in America. Anderson criticized Harris\u2019s approach towards securing borders while suggesting she could take immediate action if genuinely committed to national safety but instead continues supporting policies perceived as dangerous<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2647,"featured_media":2333649,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Kamala_Harris_migrants_immigration_border_10.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[3811,4021,3646,6039,32076],"class_list":["post-2333648","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-border","tag-harris","tag-security","tag-terrorism","tag-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Kamala_Harris_migrants_immigration_border_10.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2333648","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2647"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2333648"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2333648\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2333649"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2333648"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2333648"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2333648"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
