(DCNF)—Pollster Frank Luntz said Tuesday that Vice President Kamala Harris will call attention to bad “immigration statistics” during a planned visit to the U.S.-Mexico border.
Harris reportedly plans to visit the southern border while on a campaign trip to the swing state of Arizona. Luntz said that Harris’ visit should have taken place earlier in her tenure as vice president.
“I actually would advise against it, that her time to have gone to the border was last year or the year before that,” Luntz told “CNN News Central” host Brianna Keilar. “And now, it only highlights the fact that she hasn’t really focused on this issue, even though she had some, we can’t determine what, the actual responsibility was that she had in the administration because it’s been muddied, but this is an area that Donald Trump can say, just look at the numbers, look at the immigration statistics, look at the illegal immigration that took place under his administration and under the Biden-Harris Administration.”
Illegal immigration is a prominent issue in the 2024 campaign. Border Patrol agents have encountered over 7 million illegal immigrants since the start of fiscal year 2021, according to figures released by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Residents of Springfield, Ohio, told the Daily Caller News Foundation that an influx of Haitian migrants led to an increase in traffic accidents and skyrocketed housing prices. Some crimes, including auto theft and shoplifting, climbed in Springfield after the migrants arrived.
Residents blamed the city’s struggles on the Biden administration’s border policies.
Crime involving illegal immigrants have also made national headlines, including the murders of Rachel Morin, Laken Riley and Jocelyn Nungaray.

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
