Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris has flip-flopped on the border wall, now says she’s prepared to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on the border wall, a project associated with Donald Trump’s first term in office.

In her speech to the Democratic National Convention last week, Harris said she would revive and sign a bipartisan border security bill that Trump had opposed because it did not go far enough to stem the open border policies of the Biden-Harris administration. The bill would reportedly still allow for over at least 1.4 million illegal immigrants into the US each year, but it also carved out around $650 million for the wall, per Axios.
