VP Kamala Harris accuses Texas Gov. Greg Abbott of 'flame throwing' for defying Biden and ordering arrest of illegal migrants: Suggests the 'so-called leader should focus on solution not attacks'

Vice President Kamala Harris accused Texas Governor Greg Abbott of 'flame throwing' on Sunday after the Republican official directed state law enforcement officers to round up migrants and send them to federal border crossings.

Abbott signed an executive order on Thursday allowing the Texas National Guard and Texas Department of Public Safety to arrest undocumented migrants and return them to the border.

In an interview with CBS News' Face The Nation, Harris was asked what the Biden administration planned to do about Abbott's plan and his laying blame on the White House for the record surge in asylum seekers at the southwest border - which Abbott labeled an 'invasion.'

'I would suggest that so-called leaders focus on solutions instead of attacks if they really are concerned about a problem, and that includes on the issue of immigration,' Harris responded.

In a direct jab at Donald Trump, she said the previous presidential administration created 'a badly broken' immigration system.

Meanwhile, Harris herself has done little in recent months that comes under her purview of the Biden administration's 'border czar.'

The vice president maintained that solutions to the immigration crisis would include 'passing a pathway for citizenship,' a long-held goal for Democrats

'So that we can have a humane and appropriate approach to this issue, including of course, what we will continue to do in terms of prioritizing border security, but understanding we also need to create a pathway,' Harris said on Sunday.

Abbott should deport her if she attempts to come to Texas.

She isn’t even a citizen, much less Natural Born.

“Abbott is throwing flames we know that because we are all familiar with flames, and flames can be harmful as we know that we have all seen flames.”

Klamidia’s word salad. Attacking the sovereignty of Texas sounds a lot more like “flame-throwing” than trying to try to turn back the tide of undocumented democrat voters.

Why doesn’t Kamala come out and say it: I went there to the border so often they told me they were sick of seeing me. And since I solved the border issues there is no reason to be talking about this again. Problem is over.

Hey Gov Abbott, sounds like they want to play. Maybe you should look at the KELO decision and immediately begin SEIZING the Assets and Property of Federal employee’s in your State to pay the cost of the illegal alien problem.

RE: illegals to the ballot box....

Yes!

That’s the key to this. Along with flooding us with crime and entitlements to destroy our will to survive.

Which they will not do.

You know what is scary Euram;
Is that I don't know if you made that sentence up, or she really said it.

And that, is truly sad!

The fangs are out for Abbott, and will remain out as long as he can potentially become president and threaten the dems’ stranglehold on power.
