Although most of the Democratic Party’s mainstream media allies have tried to convince voters that Kamala Harris didn’t actually serve as “border czar” in the Biden administration, it’s clear that she had a pivotal role in shaping an immigration policy that has flooded the U.S. with undocumented migrants over the past four years.

During a “60 Minutes” interview, the vice president encountered a series of pointed questions calling out the deleterious impacts of this policy. Naturally, Harris tried desperately to shirk responsibility.

According to Fox News:

Vice President Kamala Harris was pressed by CBS News’ Bill Whitaker about whether it was a “mistake” for the Biden administration to go soft on its border policies during a tense exchange on Monday’s special election episode of “60 Minutes.”

“You recently visited the southern border and embraced President Biden’s recent crackdown on asylum seekers, and that crackdown produced an almost immediate and dramatic decrease in the number of border crossings,” Whitaker said. “If that’s the right answer now, why didn’t your administration take those steps in 2021?”

“The first bill we proposed to Congress was to fix our broken immigration system, knowing that if you want to actually fix it, we need Congress to act. It was not taken up,” Harris responded. “Fast forward to a moment when a bipartisan group of members of the United States Senate, including one of the most conservative members of the United States Senate, got together, came up with a border security bill.

“Well, guess what happened? Donald Trump got word that this bill was afoot and could be passed, and he wants to run on a problem instead of fixing a problem. So he told his buddies in Congress, ‘Kill the bill, don’t let it move forward.'”

The “60 Minutes” segment attracted widespread attention, particularly in light of Harris’ aversion to one-on-one interviews.

Every 60 minutes teaser so far has been a disaster for Kamala.

60 Minutes' Bill Whitaker calls out Kamala for being handed the Democratic nomination:

"Was democracy best served by President Biden stepping down and basically handing you a nomination?…That's not really the way our system was intended to work." pic.twitter.com/aIBlJzZHL9

The Daily Mail provided additional coverage of the portion of the interview regarding the Biden-Harris administration’s border record:

Whitaker pointed out ‘there was an historic flood of undocumented immigrants coming across the border the first three years of your administration. 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?’

‘It’s a longstanding problem,’ Harris pushed back. ‘And solutions are at hand. And from day one, literally, we have been offering solutions.’

Again Whitaker pressed the vice president.

‘What I was asking was, was it a mistake to kind of allow that flood to happen in the first place?’ he interrupted.

‘I think– the policies that we have been proposing are about fixing a problem, not promoting a problem, okay?’ Harris started.

Again Whitaker cut her off: ‘But the numbers did quadruple under your –’

The two spoke over each other as Whitaker tried to ask her if she should have acted sooner.

‘But we need Congress to be able to act to actually fix the problem,’ Harris finally finished before they moved on to other topics. She never directly responded to the question.

Here’s some additional commentary that followed Harris’ interview:
