“On immigration, Kamala Harris was the attorney general of the largest state and a border state in California. She’s the only person in this race who prosecuted transnational gangs for human trafficking and drug interventions,” Walz said. “But look, we all want to solve this—most of us want to solve this—and that is the United States Congress.”

“Donald Trump said no, told them to vote against it because it gives him a campaign issue,” Walz said.
“Donald Trump had four years. He had four years to do this. And he promised you, America, how easy it would be. ‘I’ll build you a big, beautiful wall and Mexico will pay for it,’” Walz reminded the audience. “Less than 2% of that wall got built and Mexico didn’t pay a dime. But here we are again, nine years after he came down that escalator.”
