Fox News Kamala Interview See Harris Blame Trump for Border Crisis

On Wednesday, Vice President Kamala Harris engaged in an extensive discussion with Fox News anchor Bret Baier regarding immigration during a rare interview with the network.

The Fox News Kamala Interview kicked off  with Bret Baier by inquiring about the number of immigrants who had crossed the southern border under the Biden administration.

As Harris recognized that immigration was “a topic of discussion that people want to rightly have,” Baier interjected to point out that it was estimated at 10 million individuals.

Baier subsequently challenged Harris regarding the Biden administration’s choice to terminate a Trump-era policy that required potential asylum-seekers to remain in Mexico while awaiting the outcomes of their cases in U.S. immigration court.

Harris highlighted that the inaugural piece of legislation introduced by President Biden following his swearing-in was an immigration bill. Baier pointed out that the bill did not reach a vote, even with Democrats in control of both the House and Senate.

“From the very beginning, we understood that — regarding your first question — this is a top priority for our nation and the American people. Our attention has been directed towards addressing this issue,” Harris stated, highlighting the White House’s initiatives to enhance border resources, strengthen penalties for illegal crossings, and manage entry points effectively.

Kamala blames Trump

She attempted to hold former President Trump accountable for his opposition to a bipartisan border security proposal earlier this year, asserting that her opponent would “rather campaign on a problem than work towards a solution, and this election rightfully demands a discussion that the American people are eager to engage in.”

Baier emphasized the tragic cases of Rachel Nungaray, Laken Riley, and Rachel Morin—young women who were reportedly murdered by men who had entered the country unlawfully. “Should you apologize to those families?” Baier inquired.

“These are unfortunate situations.” It’s absolutely clear. It’s absolutely clear. “I cannot fathom the anguish that the families of those victims have endured due to a loss that was entirely preventable,” Harris stated.

“Indeed, that is accurate.” Had a border security bill been enacted nine months ago, we would have already seen an increase in border agents, providing much-needed support for those tirelessly working to maintain safety and prevent future harm.

“In just 20 days, this election will reveal whether we have a president who prioritizes solving issues over political gain,” she remarked, without offering any form of apology to the families.

Border crossing to hit 10 million

As the November election approaches, Trump is launching a vigorous campaign focused on immigration, with projections indicating that migrant crossings at the border could reach 10 million well before the year’s end under the Biden-Harris administration.

Trump has committed to implementing widespread deportations of individuals residing in the country unlawfully if he secures election in November, and he has indicated plans to rescind protected status for specific groups, including Haitian migrants.

He referred to Harris as the “border czar,” highlighting her responsibility in tackling the underlying issues driving migration from Central American countries. Trump has consistently pointed out cases of violent crimes carried out by migrants who have entered the country unlawfully.

A recent Wall Street Journal poll, conducted with 2,100 registered voters across seven key battleground states poised to influence the upcoming November election, revealed that 52 percent believe Trump is more capable of managing immigration and border security, while 36 percent favor Harris on this critical issue.
