Vice President Kamala Harris stumbled through a tense interview on Fox News, struggling to defend the Biden-Harris administration’s border policies and evading direct questions about the consequences of ending the "Remain in Mexico" policy.
In a pivotal interview on Fox News Channel’s *Special Report* with Bret Baier, Vice President Kamala Harris faced tough questions about the ongoing southern border crisis—a key issue that has plagued the Biden-Harris administration. With only 20 days until the presidential election, Harris appeared unprepared to handle the direct and persistent follow-ups, leaving many viewers questioning her leadership on immigration policy.
Baier pressed Harris on the administration’s controversial decision to terminate the Trump-era "Remain in Mexico" policy, a move widely criticized for contributing to the current border surge. "Do you regret the decision to terminate Remain in Mexico at the beginning of your administration?" Baier asked. Harris dodged the question, offering no clear response, which set the tone for the rest of the interview.
Baier then honed in on the emotional toll of the border crisis, specifically referencing American families impacted by violent crimes committed by illegal migrants. "Do you owe those families an apology?" he asked, citing victims like Jocelyn Gary, Rachel Moran, and Laken Riley. Harris again avoided direct accountability, offering a vague expression of sympathy but stopping short of an actual apology. "What I should tell you, that I am so sorry for her loss. I’m so sorry for her loss, sincerely," Harris said, which did little to satisfy Baier's call for a more direct response.
The Vice President's reliance on Congress as the ultimate solution to the border crisis also raised eyebrows. "Congress, ultimately, is the only place that that’s going to get fixed," Harris stated, a claim that has been debunked by critics. Legal provisions to secure the border and prevent illegal entry are already in place, and the administration’s actions since 2021—such as reversing the "Remain in Mexico" policy—have been widely blamed for exacerbating the problem.
This interview marked one of the few occasions where Harris was met with follow-up questions she could not easily deflect, exposing her difficulty in defending the administration’s border policies. As the election nears, the Vice President’s handling of immigration is likely to remain a critical point of contention, particularly as the Biden-Harris administration faces mounting scrutiny over their management of the southern border.
