Harris grilled on immigration in combative Fox interview | ABS-CBN News

Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris was grilled in a TV interview on Wednesday on the Biden administration's efforts to tackle a surge in illegal immigration at the southern border, and laid the blame on Republicans for failing to pass a border bill. In a combative interview with Fox News host Bret Baier, Harris was asked to defend the administration's early decision to reverse some of Republican rival Donald Trump's restrictive policies, and to respond to a mother who testified in Congress about the loss of her child at the hands of an illegal immigrant. Harris said Trump told Republicans to reject a bipartisan immigration bill because "he preferred to run on a problem instead of fixing a problem." The interview was part of a direct appeal by Harris on Wednesday to Republican voters in this year's US presidential election, as she highlighted Republican support for her campaign in a battleground county in Pennsylvania before appearing on conservative-leaning Fox News. Harris was asked in the Fox News interview about her recent comment that there was “not a thing” she would change about the actions of the Biden administration, responding: “let me be very clear, my presidency will not be a continuation of Joe Biden's presidency," but she did not elaborate. Harris has previously attempted to court voters disillusioned by Trump. Earlier this month, former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney, daughter to former Vice President Dick Cheney, urged voters to put country over party and vote for Harris, saying that Trump was not fit to lead the US.
