Next presidential administration has to ‘get serious’ about immigration, say voters in key battleground state [Video]

MARICOPA COUNTY, Ariz. – Immigration and border security are top concerns among Arizona residents, but voters Fox News Digital spoke with were split on whether former President Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris is better suited to tackle the issue.

“We have to have swifter incarceration at the border,” Mary from Phoenix said. “And if there’s a suspicion that they’re going to commit a crime, lock them up.”

More than 425,000 illegal immigrants with criminal convictions are currently out of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody, according to data provided to lawmakers late last month. That includes more than 13,000 people convicted of homicide and nearly 16,000 convicted of sexual assault, according to ICE.
