The Democratic candidate for the White House, Vice President Kamala Harris, and her Republican rival, former President Donald Trump (2017-2021), have clashed over their proposals on immigration, taxes or tariffs.
This is what each one promises if he comes to power after the November 5 elections.
Immigration
Harris wants to make restrictions on the right to asylum permanent that the Joe Biden Administration established in the face of the record numbers of migrants at the border and proposes a reform that offers a “path to citizenship” for undocumented immigrants living in the country, without giving details of how it plans to achieve it.
Trump stigmatizes migrants with xenophobic rhetoric and promises mass deportations of undocumented immigrants, resume the construction of the wall and eliminate immigration benefits for people fleeing their countries, despite the legal challenges that these measures would entail.
Trade
Harris defends tariffs on some Chinese importssuch as electric vehicles, but rejects generalized tariffs to avoid a price increase that affects the working classes.
Trump promises tariffs of between 10% and 20% on all imported productsand of 60% for those coming from Chinato force companies to move their production to the United States.
Taxes
Harris promises tax breaks for small businesses and increased taxes on large companiesfrom 21% to 28%. Like Trump, he proposes eliminating tip taxes.
Trump wants to extend tax cuts for big companies what he did during his mandate and proposes lower the tax rate from 21% to 15% to those companies that manufacture all their products in the United States. He promises to eliminate overtime taxes.
Environment
Harris defends subsidies for renewable energy and electric vehicles, but has abandoned its opposition to hydraulic fracturing (fracking).
Trump denies the climate crisisopposes electric vehicles and promises to increase oil and natural gas production. When he was in the White House he eliminated hundreds of environmental regulations and withdrew from the Paris Accords.
