Suozzi urges immigration reform at Dems’ convention By RoKSANA AMID ramid@liherald.com
Vice President Kamala Harris accepted the Democratic presidential nomination at the party’s convention last week, setting up a general election in which she will face off against former President Donald Trump, the Republican nominee, in November. Harris’s acceptance speech intertwined personal and political themes, highlighting the profound influence of her immigrant mother, a scientist who came to the U.S. with dreams of curing breast cancer. Harris described her mother as a resilient woman of color who faced challenges with strength
and taught her daughter to fight injustice through action. Addressing border security, Harris criticized Trump for allegedly blocking a bipartisan border bill focusing on illegal immigration that was promoted by the Biden administration, for no other reason than to benefit Trump’s campaign. She vowed to revive and pass the legislation to ensure security without political manipulation. “Donald Trump believes a border deal would hurt his campaign,” Harris said of the bill. “So, he ordered his allies in Congress to kill the deal. I refuse to play politics with our security.” Continued on page 9
