Liberal group indicates they think Harris is pretending to moderate her immigration views before election

Liberal immigration groups are criticizing Vice President Harris' recent adoption of tougher border policies, but are still supporting her as at least one indicated they believe Harris' new stance is all for show, Axios reported Wednesday.

Kerri Talbot, executive director of the Immigration Hub, told Axios that she opposes Harris' current stance on border policy. She called the Harris campaign's proposal essentially a "Republican bill," but added that she still supports Harris.
