Vice President Kamala Harris said during a CNN town hall on Wednesday night that the Biden-Harris administration did “the right thing” by allowing millions of illegal aliens to pour across America’s borders.

The shocking admission came when host Anderson Cooper highlighted the numerous border initiatives that the administration failed to secure, including an immigration bill that they failed to pass when Democrats controlled the House and Senate during the administration’s first two years in office.

At the start of this summer, the administration implemented an executive order that provided some alleviation to the crisis on the southern border.

“Why didn’t your administration do that in 2022, 2023?” Cooper asked.

“First of all, you’re exactly right, Anderson, and as of today, we have cut the flow of immigration by over half,” Harris claimed without acknowledging that a lot of the supposed reduction that has happened has come from illegal aliens claiming asylum through the administration’s CBP One app.

“But if it was that easy with that executive action, why not do it 2022, 2023?? Cooper pressed.

“Because we were working with Congress and hoping that actually, we could have a long-term fix to the problem, instead of a short-term fix,” Harris claimed.

Cooper again pressed Harris: “You couldn’t have done both at the same time?”

Harris responded by claiming that Congress was really at fault for the administration’s border crisis.

“Do you wish you’d done those executive orders in 2022, 2023?” Cooper asked.

Harris responded: “I think we did the right thing.”
