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.'"
"I've been covering the border for years, and so I know this is not a
problem that started with your administration," Whitaker said. "But
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?" Whitaker then asked.
"It's a long-standing problem, and solutions are at hand, and from day
one, literally, we have been offering solutions," Harris responded.

No she has not offered solutions. That bill did nothing to strengthen
the border and repeating the lie doesn't make it true.
