Counting down to the US presidential election, and polls show the race is still wide open, with immigration one of the top concerns of voters. Illegal border crossings hit record highs under President Biden. Donald Trump meanwhile is campaigning to finish the wall he started on the Mexican border — and he’s promising the “largest deportation operation in American history.”
Kamala Harris is under pressure after the spike in illegal border crossings, and as public opinion appears to be shifting on border security, she’s following suit, while many Democrats remain torn on the issue.
As Trump’s deportation plans shape up to be the next battle lines, DW’s Richard Walker visits the borderlands of southern Arizona — where DW first filmed eight years ago. We reconnect with ranchers Jim and Sue Chilton, whose lands have been afflicted for years by cartels smuggling drugs. What has changed? Did Trump manage to finish his wall on the Chilton Ranch? And what do people in Arizona think about the prospect of mass deportations? With additional reporting from DW’s Amien Essief.
