The US has a "broken" immigration system that needs to be repaired, Vice President Kamala Harris said Wednesday, comments she made in a rare interview with the Republican-leaning news channel where she sparred with its popular host. Harris made her remarks during an interview with Bret Baier of Fox News.
Baier repeatedly questioned the Democratic presidential nominee on illegal immigration, taxpayer support for gender transition surgery, and other areas closely aligned with former President Donald Trump's regular attacks against her.
With 20 days before the election, Harris attempted to defend her record on immigration and the economy.
On being asked how many undocumented immigrants have illegally entered the US under the Biden-Harris administration, Harris did not give a number.
Harris responded, "Bret, let's cut to the chase, okay? The point is we have a system that is broken and that we need to fix."
"That's what your own Homeland Security Secretary said that 85 percent of apprehensions," Baier interjected.
"I'm not finished. We have an immigration system," Harris attempted to continue with her response.
"It's a rough estimate that 6 million people have been released into the country," the Fox News anchor cut in again.
"And let me just finish. I'll get to the question. I promise you. I was beginning to answer," the vice president implored.
