Vice President Kamala Harris has walked a scrubby stretch along the US-Mexico border in Arizona and called for further tightening of asylum restrictions as she sought to project a tougher stance on illegal migration.

Her push to further restrict asylum claims moves beyond President Joe Biden’s policy on an issue where her rival, former president Donald Trump, has an edge with voters.
