It was a rehearsed answer, for sure. First of all, CNN's Dana Bash made it very clear that Kamala Harris was never "border czar" and was in charge of root causes of immigration from Central America. That aside, what about the border? Harris, who's been vice president for three-and-a-half years, blamed Donald Trump, which is what Democrats did at the time that the bipartisan Schumer-Lankford border security bill failed to pass. First, it wasn't a border security bill — it was primarily a Ukraine aid package, with a few bucks tacked on for the border.

 At the time — in early 2024, when the Biden-Harris administration decided they had to address the border crisis, Rep. Matt Gaetz called the Schumer-Lankford bill "a nightmare." It still would let in more than a million immigrants a year. "It rolls out the red carpet for 5,000 illegals EVERY DAY, forever," Gaetz said. It was a bad bill, and it didn't need Trump pulling the strings to kill it in the House.

… which we supported, which I supported. Donald Trump, got word of this bill that would have contributed to securing our border. and because he believes that it would not have helped him politically he told his folks in Congress, don‘t put it forward."

Trump, who wasn't in office at the time, is responsible for House Republicans passing on a bad bill.

She didn't mention that her boss undid all of the executive orders that his predecessor had put forward to keep immigration under control.

They invited illegal immigrants to immediately surge to the border once they got in office.

As this editor has asked many times, name one thing the Biden-Harris administration did to get the border under control. Every time Texas tried to secure its own border, the administration filed a lawsuit.

That's been sitting in Chuck Schumer's desk drawer for years.
