Trump and the Trump campaign in connection with Trump's failed effort at reelection in 2020."   CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL ARTICLE AT CNN.COM

The Mexico–United States border is an international border separating Mexico and the U.S. that   extends from the Pacific Ocean in the west to the Gulf of Mexico in the east. Harris, 56 and a Democrat, had said that she would visit the border in due time and that there is no quick fix to the influx of Central American migrants to the U.S. A former California attorney general and U
