Since President Joe Biden and President Harris took office.
Baier went on to ask Harris about the Biden administration's decision to reverse a Trump-era decision that required asylum seekers to remain in Mexico pending the outcome of their cases in U.S. immigration court.

Harris argued that her Republican opponent “would prefer to run on issues rather than solving them. This is obviously the argument that the American people want in this election.” and criticized former President Trump, who earlier rejected a bipartisan agreement. this year.

Harris: “Those are tragic events. There's no question about that. There's no question about that. And the pain that the families of those victims went through for a loss that shouldn't have happened.” I can't imagine…that's true if border security were implemented. [bill] In fact, if it had been passed nine months ago, nine months later we would have had more border agents at the border working around the clock to keep everything together to prevent future harm.
