Vice President Kamala Harris struggled to answer questions about her disastrous border record during an interview that aired Monday night.
The questions came during a special election episode of CBS News’ “60 Minutes” in which Harris faced questions about her record securing the southern border, a role that President Joe Biden assigned to her during the early days of the administration.
Host Bill Whitaker noted that Harris has recently flipped on her stances on illegal immigration after showing strong support for illegal border crossings in the past.
“If that’s the right answer now, why didn’t your administration take those steps in 2021?” Whitaker asked.
Harris blamed Congress for the border crisis that unfolded under the Biden-Harris administration, even though former President Donald Trump secured the border without congressional help.
“But there was an historic flood of undocumented immigrants coming across the border the first three years of your administration,” Whitaker said. “As a matter of fact, arrivals quadrupled from the last year of President Trump.”

“Was it a mistake to loosen the immigration policies as much as you did?” he asked.
Harris responded: “It’s a longstanding problem. And solutions are at hand. And from day one, literally, we have been offering solutions.”
“What I was asking was, was it a mistake to kind of allow that flood to happen in the first place?” Whitaker pressed.
Harris again refused to answer the question and claimed that she proposed policies that fix the problem, even though they did not and many experts warned that the border bill she supported would actually make the border crisis worse.

Every single time she deflects, shifts blame, and claims she took steps to fix the problem.
