As Vice President Kamala Harris prepares to visit Texas, some residents of Austin are calling on her to witness the border crisis firsthand.
"I think it's important for her to see what's happening here," said one Austin resident. "The conditions at the border are inhumane, and I think she needs to see that."
Others disagreed, saying that Harris should focus on other issues during her trip.
"There are plenty of other things she could be doing in Texas," said another Austin resident. "I don't think she needs to go to the border."
Regardless of their opinion on the matter, many Austinites agree that Harris' visit is an important step in addressing the humanitarian crisis at the southern border.
