The Trump campaign has intensified its criticism of Vice President Harris on immigration by launching a website, kamalaborderbloodbath.com, which highlights fentanyl-related deaths and the arrests of migrants who crossed the border illegally. This move marks an aggressive shift as the former president seeks to make immigration a central issue in his campaign against Harris.
The website focuses on the surge of migrants at the southern border during the Biden administration, branding Harris as the “border czar” due to her role in addressing migration from Central America’s Northern Triangle.
It features specific pages for 13 states, including key battleground states like Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Nevada, showcasing incidents of fentanyl deaths and crimes allegedly committed by migrants.
Trump escalates immigration attacks on Harris with new “border bloodbath” website, spotlighting fentanyl deaths and migrant crimes
Campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt stated that Trump would continue to emphasize Harris’s “failed immigration record,” particularly on behalf of “Angel Moms” and other Americans who have lost loved ones due to what the campaign calls Harris’s “border bloodbath.” The Trump campaign is promoting the website as a tool to frame a vote for Harris as “a vote for an invasion,” and plans to invest in advertising to drive traffic to the site.
This strategy underscores the Trump campaign’s focus on immigration as a key issue in its battle against Harris, who has seen an outstanding rise in the polls since becoming the Democratic nominee following President Biden’s withdrawal from the race.
Trump recently visited the U.S.-Mexico border in Arizona, where he highlighted cases of individuals allegedly killed by migrants. He was joined by the families of Rachel Morin, murdered in Maryland, and Jocelyn Nungaray, killed in Texas, both cases involving suspects who had crossed the border illegally.
During his visit, Trump stood before unfinished segments of the border wall, a signature project from his first term, and reiterated his promise to complete the wall and launch the largest deportation operation in U.S. history if re-elected. His plan would rely heavily on local law enforcement to apprehend those who entered the country illegally.
In response, Harris and her campaign have pushed back by blaming Trump for derailing a bipartisan border security proposal earlier this year. The proposal aimed to bolster law enforcement resources and limit the number of daily border crossings. Democrats have also condemned Trump’s rhetoric, particularly his comments about immigrants “poisoning the blood” of the nation.
During her convention acceptance speech, Harris pledged not to “play politics” with border security and criticized Trump for blocking the bipartisan bill. She promised to revive the legislation and sign it into law as president, emphasizing her commitment to reforming the nation’s immigration system while upholding America’s legacy as a welcoming country for immigrants.
