It seems that the Democrats, led by Kamala Harris, are more enthusiastic about mass migration than a kid in a candy store. With the 2024 presidential election on the horizon, former President Donald Trump is sharpening his political knives and readying for a discussion that many voters care deeply about: immigration. While Harris fancies herself as a champion of a wide-open border, Trump is bringing back a message that resonates with average Americans craving law, order, and a secure homeland.
Under the current administration, the southern border has become a literal open door. The pandemic-induced border security enhancements have been rolled back, and Kamala Harris can’t seem to make a coherent statement about managing the crisis. This leaves plenty of room for Trump to pounce, positioning himself as the candidate who will bring back the border policies that worked. Trump’s prior record is about reducing illegal crossings, and he aims to remind voters of that during the campaign.
As Kamala Harris incentivizes illegals to come into our country and commit more crimes President Trump will stop this migrant welfare state through deportation and the death penalty for any migrant that kills an American.

One of the keys to Trump’s strategy will be illustrating the economic consequences of uncontrolled migration. When plenty of people are crossing the border without any consideration for laws and regulations, it’s American workers who suffer. Voters understand that mass migration impacts job availability, wages, and public welfare systems. Trump can hammer home the argument that the Democrats’ approach is akin to sticking a “Help Wanted” sign on the border, but he’ll aim to flip the script to retain jobs for American citizens first.
Another angle Trump can exploit is the safety argument. With crime rates surging in certain areas, the narrative that more unchecked immigration correlates to increased crime is gaining traction. Trump’s campaign can raise the alarm about law enforcement struggling under the weight of illegal immigration, emphasizing that a secure border leads to safer communities. Despite Harris’s attempts to paint her policies as compassionate, the American people are generally more focused on keeping crime away from their front doors.
In a world where Trump’s policies are regarded as “mean” by the left, the former president can easily position his approach to immigration as simply realistic. Voters are tired of talking points and are looking for solutions that reflect common sense. The opportunity is ripe for Trump to reclaim the immigration debate and solidify himself as the tough-on-border-control candidate that many Americans are longing for in a sea of chaos.
If Trump plays his cards right while pointing out Harris’s love for mass migration, he could not only galvanize his base but also appeal to undecided voters who share his concerns. After all, in the game of politics, delivering a message that prioritizes the security and welfare of American citizens is not just a strategy—it’s a necessity.
