Immigration is a central issue in the leadup to the 2024 election. Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Trump have presented markedly different approaches to immigration and its value to the United States, and voters’ decision will determine our nation’s approach to immigration policy for the foreseeable future.
Donald Trump’s immigration policy proposals are designed to sow division and stoke fear, rather than benefit American workers and their families. From ending birthright citizenship to mass deportation, these extreme policies would hinder American prosperity for decades to come.
Meanwhile, the Biden-Harris administration has made some promising steps toward a better immigration system – but their plan to “shut down” the border is a reactionary response to political fearmongering.
