Axois is claiming that Vice President Kamala Harris supports former President Donald Trump’s border wall because she backs the Senate’s border bill that requires agency officials to spend border wall funds appropriated under Trump.

Harris advisers note that the bipartisan border proposal didn’t include any new money to continue building the wall.
It just extended the timeline to spend funds that had been appropriated during Trump’s last year as president, they say, although the legislation has new restrictions to ensure the money is spent on barriers.

“She hasn’t said a word about this, but her campaign is trying to do the same thing Trump did in 2016 — using the wall as a shorthand for toughness on immigration,” Krikorian said. “The way to persuade anybody that she’s not just lying but to actually use her current position to show progress on some of these issues.”
