Harris answers question about border visit by attacking Trump

Vice President Kamala Harris flipped a question at her Friday press conference in Texas into a chance to attack former President Donald Trump's hard-line immigration policies.

Republicans and even some Democrats had previously criticized the vice president for making her first border trip to El Paso, a city nearly 1,000 miles away from what they call the epicenter of the border crisis, and the first question at Harris's press conference asked why she selected El Paso over an area like the Rio Grande Valley.

"So first of all, what is happening here in El Paso really is, in many ways, highlights many facets on the issue of immigration," Harris answered. "It is here in El Paso that the previous administration's child separation policy was unveiled, and so we've seen the disastrous effects of that right here in this region."
