Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard blasted Vice President Kamala Harris over her comments on the border.
“Kamala Harris’ statement that ‘we have a secure border’ is further evidence that she’s either completely disconnected from reality or she’s blatantly lying,” Gabbard tweeted Saturday. “Either way, she has no business being a heartbeat away from the presidency.”

Gabbard tweeted her thoughts in the wake of a report that 199,000 immigrants were met at the border in July alone, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. That makes the total number of crossings since last October at over 1.9 million, which is already more than the 1.7 million who crossed from October 2020 to September 2021.

Harris made her claims about the supposedly secure border during an interview last Sunday.
The vice president said at the time: “The border is secure, but we also have a broken immigration system, in particular, over the last four years before we came in, and it needs to be fixed.”
“We’re going to have 2 million people cross this border for the first time ever,” interviewer Chuck Todd responded. “You’re confident this border’s secure?”
“We have a secure border in that that is a priority for any nation, including ours and our administration,” Harris said. “But there are still a lot of problems that we are trying to fix given the deterioration that happened over the last four years.”
