There’d Be ‘No Future Harm’ if Bill Passed

In an interview on FOX News Channel's “Special Report” on Wednesday, 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris responded to questions about crimes allegedly committed by people who entered the country before the Senate's border bill existed. “If border security is strengthened,” he said. It was actually passed nine months ago, but nine months later there will be more border agents at the border, more support for people working 24 hours a day, more support for people who are working 24 hours a day, less risk of harm in the future. I would have tried to keep everything together so that it wouldn't get to me. happen. “

host Brett Baier asked. [relevant exchange begins around 4:25] “Jocelyn Nangaray, Rachel Morin, Laken Riley, young women who were brutally assaulted and murdered by some of the men they released at the beginning of this administration, long before a bipartisan bill was agreed upon. Former President Clinton actually mentioned Laken Riley campaigning for you in Georgia on Sunday, and if those people had been properly tested, maybe Laken Riley. He said he wouldn't have been killed. So if that hadn't happened, this was well before the negotiations, long before Donald Trump got involved in politics. This is a specific policy decision by your administration to release these people into the country. I say to you, do you owe those families an apology?”

“Let me start by saying, these are tragic events. There's no question about that. There's no question about that. And the families of those victims want to know what should have happened,” Harris said. I can't imagine the pain we've gone through because of the losses that didn't happen. It's true. If Border Patrol had actually passed nine months ago, there would be more Border Patrol agents at the border nine months later. It's also true that there would have been increased support for those working around the clock to maintain our borders. We all need to work together to prevent future harm.”
