Warren Comments On Border Policy
Today, we’re diving into some hot topics from the political arena, focusing on recent remarks by Senator Elizabeth Warren about Vice President Kamala Harris and immigration policy. Warren made headlines over the weekend by discussing Harris’s potential future actions on immigration if she becomes president. Let's break it down.
During an interview with Jake Tapper on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Warren addressed the issue of mass migration and the role of Vice President Harris in tackling this complex challenge. Tapper started the conversation by highlighting President Biden’s decision to appoint Harris as his border czar, responsible for addressing the root causes of migration from Central American countries. He pointed out the widespread disapproval of how the Biden-Harris administration has handled the border crisis.
Tapper asked, “By giving the nomination to one of the leaders of the border effort, aren’t Democrats doubling down on one of your party’s biggest vulnerabilities?”
Warren responded by claiming that border crossings have decreased under the Biden administration compared to the Trump administration. She emphasized that Congress must address the immigration issue to provide the necessary tools and resources at the border, as well as in states and cities supporting migrants.
Elizabeth Warren says on CNN that Kamala Harris will keep the border open and grant citizenship to more than 10 million illegal aliens:
“I believe we need to create a pathway to citizenship...Kamala Harris will work with Congress and get that done.”

“We need the tools in order to have more resources at the border, to have more resources in the states and cities that are supporting migrants. And I believe we need to create a pathway to citizenship. All of that is part of what we need to do for comprehensive immigration reform,” Warren said.
The most notable part of the interview came when Warren expressed confidence in Harris’s ability to work with Congress on comprehensive immigration reform. She stated, “Kamala Harris will work with Congress and get that done.”
Warren’s comments suggest a strong commitment from the Democratic Party to push for significant changes in immigration policy, including a pathway to citizenship for the millions of illegal aliens currently in the U.S. This stance is sure to be a focal point in the ongoing debate over immigration reform and the upcoming elections.
Critics argue that the Biden administration's handling of the border crisis has been ineffective and that appointing Harris, who has been closely associated with current immigration policies, could be a political liability. However, supporters believe that Harris’s leadership and experience will be crucial in achieving long-overdue immigration reforms.
