SACRAMENTO — California political strategists weighed in on Tuesday’s vice presidential debate between Republican Sen. JD Vance and Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
California and Kamala Harris’ record in the state made it onto the debate stage .
“The real family separation policy in this country is unfortunately Kamala Harris’ wide open southern border,” Vance said.
“She’s the only person in this race who prosecuted transnational gangs for human trafficking,” Walz said.
California has 1.85 million undocumented immigrants, the most of any state in the country. There are 11 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S., according to Pew Research Center.
Tab Berg is a Republican strategist.
“I think Californians are just as frustrated as the rest of the country with the immigration status,” Berg said. “And I think the Walz-Harris campaign is making a colossal blunder trying to sell people on the falsehood that they’ve actually made a difference.”
