'By the way, you want to talk about bipartisanship on an issue that at one time was a bipartisan issue both in terms of Republican senators and even presidents,' she added. 'We don't have that in place because people are playing politics in a state like this and in Congress.' Harris tried to shift blame onto Congress and Texas, where she gave the interview, instead of the administration. That number surpassed the already-historic 1.7 million encounters in fiscal year 2021. President Biden appointed Harris to tackle the 'root causes' of immigration, but so far border agents have made over 2 million border apprehensions, an all-time record, this fiscal year, which ends in October. 'You need to get to go and need to be able to get where you need to go to do the work and go home,' she said in another jumble at a transportation speech in mid-July. The vice president's public remarks are often riddled with run-on sentences that are hard to follow. 'But there are still a lot of problems that we are trying to fix,' she added, calling for a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants. 'We have a secure border in that that is a priority for any nation including ours in our administration,' Harris replied. You're confident this border is secure?' interviewer Chuck Todd pressed the vice president in the interview. 'We're going to have two million people cross this border for the first time ever. '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.' 'I think that there is no question that we have to do what the president and I asked Congress to do, the first request we made: pass a bill to create a pathway to citizenship,' Harris said. Harris blamed the Trump administration for a 'broken' immigration system. Vice President Kamala Harris insisted the U.S.-Mexico border is secure in a jumble of words on her 'Meet the Press' interview Sunday.
