Vice President Kamala Harris, who was tasked with overseeing immigration policy for an administration that saw record increases in illegal border crossings, now says she would put her record on the issue “up against anyone.”
During a Univision town hall event in Nevada on Thursday night, Harris was asked about how her immigration policy would differ from President Biden’s.
She touted her past experience as a prosecutor and said, “I would put my record up against anyone in terms of the work I’ve always done and will always do to ensure we have a secure border.”
Soon after taking office, Biden tasked Harris with addressing illegal immigration as a primary piece of her vice-presidential portfolio. Harris, however, refused to reform, or even discuss, the lax enforcement policies ushered in by Biden’s day-one executive orders, insisting instead that she was focused on addressing the “root causes” of immigration — namely by doling out economic aid to Central and South American nations.
