Vice President Kamala Harris repeatedly dodged several questions about her administration’s immigration record and instead pivot to former President Trump during an interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier.
Baier began the interview Wednesday by asking Harris how many illegal immigrants were released by the Biden administration into the country.
“Well, I’m glad you raised the issue of immigration, because I agree with you,” Harris responded. It is a topic of discussion that people want to rightly have. And you know what I’m going to talk about-”
“But just a number,” Baier pressed. “Do you think it’s 1 million? 3 million?”
“Bret, let’s just get to the point, ok?” Harris said. “The point is that we have a broken immigration system that needs to be repaired.”
After Baier invoked DHS estimated that 6 million illegal immigrants had been released into the country, he then pressed her about the Biden administration’s decision to reverse Trump-era policies like Remain in Mexico and how that decision is linked to the release of violent criminals.
“So looking back, do you regret the decision to terminate Remain in Mexico at the beginning of your administration?” Baier asked.
Harris responded by highlighting the Biden administration’s first legislative push, which was immigration reform, and accused Trump of killing a bipartisan immigration bill.
