Kamala Harris Claims The Border Is ‘Secure’

Vice President Kamala Harris assured that the U.S.-Mexico border is “secure” during a “Meet the Press” interview released Sunday.

The vice president told NBC News host Chuck Todd that the “border is secure” and pointed fingers at former President Donald Trump’s administration for the currently “broken immigration system.”

“There is no question that we have to do what the president and I asked Congress to do. The first request we made:pass a bill to create a pathway to citizenship. The border is secure, but we also have a broken immigration system and particular[ly] over the last four years before we came in and it needs to be fixed.”

Migrant apprehension numbers have nearly doubled since President Joe Biden assumed office in January 2021. As of July, Border Patrol agents encountered 1.9 million migrants at the southern border in the fiscal-year-to-date (FYTD) 2022, which begins in October, according to Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Agents apprehended 199,976 migrants in July, slightly fewer than the 207,933 that arrived in June. In 2021, 1.73 million migrants in total were apprehended at the border.

The vice president said a law needs to be passed to provide migrants with a pathway to citizenship, yet there is no plan because lawmakers are “playing politics.”

Kammie should be forced to watch Sharyl Attkisson's reporting.

We begin with an important story we’ve been covering closely for years: The Border. The current crisis is marred by record numbers of illegal border crossings and immigrant deaths, and record fentanyl smuggling and U.S. deaths. Border states have largely been left on their own to fight back. We’re just back from Eagle Pass, a South Texas town bearing the unfortunate brunt of the border crisis.

On our trip to Eagle Pass, Texas, it’s first light. Border authorities know exactly what time and where people will gather on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande to walk or swim across to the U.S. The river is high and fast-moving after lots of rain. U.S. rescue boats pick up those who look like they might not make it. Others make it to shore and walk along the fence line into U.S. custody. Many will be transported to an American city of their choice.

There are as many as 2,000 illegal border crossers processed each day now in Eagle Pass, and a similar number not caught. That’s equal to the town’s entire population of 28,000 moving through every week. So many, they’ve built this giant processing center near the local airport.

It’s clear they’re fighting a war without help they need from the federal government and, they say, because of the federal government. ...

Would love to have heard the word salad produced if he had asked how many times she'd been to the border.

There is already a pathway to citizenship but it is not being enforced as is the immigration system.  If you ignore a rule, then the rule no longer exists.

It was dysfunctional, but it worked before you came in.  You are the people who irretrievably broke it, Heels-up Harris.
