Vice President Kamala Harris insists the US southern border is “secure” — despite the number of illegal migrant arrests on pace to surpass a staggering 2 million this month for the first time ever.
In an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday, Harris acknowledged the immigration system “still needs to be fixed” before pinning the blame on the Trump administration for the border surge that has happened since President Biden took office.
“The border is secure, but we also have a broken immigration system, in particular, over the last four years before we came in, and it needs to be fixed,” Harris told host Chuck Todd.
The veep, who was put in charge of border issues by Biden 18 months ago, doubled down when Todd questioned her claim of border security, given the hefty streams of illegal migrants still flooding into the country every month.
“We’re going to have 2 million people cross this border for the first time ever. You’re confident this border’s secure?” Todd asked.
