On Thursday, Vice President Kamala Harris emphasized her belief in the fundamental rights to safety, dignity, and justice for everyone. Her speech, delivered on the final night of the Democratic National Convention, highlighted her commitment to these principles. However, critics have pointed out a significant oversight in her address: the issue of American citizens being harmed by illegal immigrants under her watch.
The Trump War Room criticized Harris’s statement by pointing out a perceived contradiction. They argued that her assertion of universal rights seems hollow given the incidents involving American victims of crimes committed by illegal immigrants who had entered the country during her tenure as the border czar. The criticism suggests that her policies may have led to increased risks for American citizens.

Data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shows that Harris, in collaboration with President Biden, has overseen over ten million illegal border crossings. This figure, according to reports, surpasses the highest monthly immigrant encounters recorded during the Trump administration, highlighting a significant escalation in illegal immigration during their time in office.
In March 2023, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was unable to provide specific numbers on American casualties caused by illegal aliens, though he later cautioned against politicizing the issue. Former President Trump used this context to highlight the tragic stories of Angel Families, emphasizing the need for stricter immigration controls to prevent further harm.
As political campaigns continue, Harris has chosen Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate, while Trump has selected Senator JD Vance. This choice reflects the broader political strategies and stances each candidate is taking as they address issues such as immigration and border security.
