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.

“2. Our Federal government is ignoring it”

Our feral givernment is actually aiding and abetting illegal immigration and human trafficking in order to increase the number of demonkrap voters and cheap labor.

Sending the illegals to the border is the 'solution,' you dimwit!

What probably will happen is that Texas will get a reputation among the illegal community that if caught, whatever life they have will be disrupted. Who wants to get in, get caught, be moved back to the border, released, get caught, moved back to the border, etc etc So better to come through CA - AZ - NM.

Another would be to drop off at the elected TX demonkrap reps (state and federal) neighborhoods, offices and homes.

The better would be to take them back to the border and make them go into Mexico. Force the ferals’ hands to make their DHS, FIB, come down and try to use force against TX national guard to protect illegal aliens. They might have problems in their own ranks. The US military can’t be used, not that they wouldn’t attempt it. You will watch a sea change in this country like not seen in a long time.

Nah, if those two slithering rodents had their way, they'd be like every other degenerate libertarian, viz. freely cross all borders without restriction, papers or vetting.

Sort of like jorge busho's dream of a "North American Union."

Oh stop screeching, Kamala.

You should have been learning the Constitution instead of focusing so much on taking the err…easy road.

You can’t even put together a coherent sentence. Who fo you think you are, talking to your intellectual betters like that?

Closing the border is not a “broken immigration policy”, it’s a control immigration policy.
Kamala was tasked with the border issue, looks like she blew another one.

What do you mean by that? Isn’t it the purpose of our military to defend the United States from invasion? Or is it the US military only to be used to defend other nation’s borders or wage endless wars where we spend trillions of dollars only to lose?

I guess America isn’t ready for people like me. First, I want our border secured by the military. Build the wall and kill anyone illegally crossing the border at a non-port of entry. That will stop the in the invasion very quickly. Then we need an Operation Wetback II, where all illegal aliens are forcibly deported. The military would be central to that operation. To hell with the Posse Comitatus Act and any of its misinterpretations. It is not constitutional. It limits expressed powers granted in the US Constitution. The US military should not be used against American citizens. It should be used to repel and dispose of invaders. This isn’t rocket science. Leave it to lawyers and politicians to ignore common sense and ignore the constitution.

The US military may not be used against the Texas National Guard which would be protecting Texas from foreign invasion. This will take the issue to a whole other level.

Using the US military to protect our border from the illegal alien invasion would be constitutionally permissible in my view, even if the “invasion” is not a armed invasion. As you note, lawyers, politicians, and a whole lot more of anti-American people have said the military would not be constitutionally permissible. This has not been tested yet, but a state protecting itself .... moves it in that direction.

Hey, that may be a good idea. You could sure run ‘em out of the bushes with a flame thrower.

It will pass for the truth in many peoples’ eyes if it goes unchallenged by the waste of skin interviewing her.

The problem is both president houseplant and Abbott have engaged in a political appendage measuring contest....houseplant to appease his radical leftist base and Abbott to obtain optics for an anticipated presidential campaign. Both are basically toothless and both are basically have no intention of placating their bases.
