U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris on Friday was to speak out about tighter asylum restrictions along the border in Arizona and, her campaign officials say, would mention a proposed amendment to a current ban on asylum initiated by President Joe Biden, which extended the time on the ban and toughened immigration actions.

Immigration has emerged as the top concern for voters, according to recent polling by Reuters/Ipsos, as Harris heads to the polls on November 5 against Republican candidate Donald Trump in the next round of presidential elections. Immigration stands out as a significant issue that Trump has been too vocal in attacking Harris following a massive surge in cross-border unlawful crossing during the past years, and Harris responded by accusing Trump of killing a bipartisan senate bill to strengthen border security.

President Biden signed a sweeping asylum ban in June that included the immediate expedited removal of migrants caught sneaking into the country. The rule would remain in place until the seven-day average of border arrests dips below 2,500. It could not take effect unless it had been in place for a month, and then it would have to wait two weeks from the end of that month before it could be rescinded unless a single week comes in which the seven-day average of daily arrests drops below 1,500.

Harris is going to make a proposal that lowers this 1,500 threshold, believing this would make it more difficult for immigrants to obtain asylum. The Biden administration has had inner rows regarding making this finalized policy tougher. From the above, it is indicated that the ban on asylum was issued on an emergency basis. It hence bears out the effort the administration is putting forward in trying to face all the complexities related to border security and immigration.

In her speech at the town next to Arizona and Mexico, Harris is going to outline in detail changes and emphasize humanitarian obligations with suitable national security in an immigration system. As the election campaign enters its last lap, the greater focus by Harris on border security and asylum issues seems to be a very smart move as it tried to connect with the majority of voters concerned over matters relating to border control and asylum policies.

There will be much immigration storytelling in this election season, and both candidates have already battled this explosive issue in the public arena. Now, Har, rims’ tightening of asylum restrictions becomes part of a shift toward a harder line, representing the pressures being faced by the Biden administration as it tries to manage the continuing crisis of immigration.

As political scenes continue to change, one is bound to face a scale of proposals made by Harris, which will be weighed and evaluated from the opponent and supporter’s points of view as she takes a stride in settling her footing before the election. The words Harris speaks to the people in Douglas shall be measured because this address may prove a watershed moment as voters look toward the Democratic candidate’s plan of action in molding their views on immigration issues and forging the narrative toward the November election.
