“The border is secure”

Scott Johnson

Sept 12 2022

You may not have heard recently that “the border is secure.”   It was one of the assertions embedded in the incoherent verbal rambling with which Vice President Kamala Harris responded to the question posed by Chuck Todd in the interview broadcast on Meet the Press yesterday.  NewsBusters has posted the video excerpt below along with its story and the accompanying transcript cruelly documenting the exchange.

Harris’s rambling belongs in our Veep thoughts with Kamala Harris series, but the seriousness of the subject matter calls for separate attention here. Although there is much that could and should be said about it. I have just a few thoughts about this exchange.

• Chuck Todd is a Democratic operative in the guise of an anchor reporter. He would not have asked the question unless he thought Harris was capable of answering it.

• “The broken immigration system,” as Harris calls it, has eroded our sovereignty and undermined our national security. According to CIS here this past June, “Border Patrol agents at the Southwest border have apprehended 50 illegal migrants with records in the [agency’s terrorist screening dataset].” You’d never know it if you get your news from the mainstream media.

• Many adroit Democratic politicians could have dealt with the question, but Biden’s record is indefensible and not just on this issue.
