JD Vance Sticks It to Kristen Welker When She Tries To Defend Kamala On Border Crisis

Senator JD Vance (R-OH) fired right back when “Meet the Press” anchor Kristen Welker attempted to defend Vice President Kamala Harris on her role in tackling the illegal immigration crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Vance joined Welker for Sunday morning’s broadcast, and in a wide-ranging interview addressed the fact that millions of illegal aliens had flooded across the border since Harris — dubbed the “border czar” by multiple media outlets at the time — was charged with determining the “root causes of migration” in order to mitigate the crisis.

WATCH:

“Well, we have to start with the foundational issue here, which is we have 25 million illegal aliens in this country right now because Kamala Harris has refused to do her job,” Vance began.

Welker pushed back, saying, “I have, very quickly, DHS says it’s much lower, it’s closer to eight million. Where do you get the 25 million from?”

“Well, I think the 25 million are the people that should’ve been deported that maybe weren’t deported, plus you add another 12 to 15 million that have come in since Kamala Harris. Look, whatever the number is —” Vance tried again.

“DHS disputes that number, for the record. They say it’s closer to eight to ten million, but please continue,” Welker repeated her objection.

“Fair, but I think there are reasons to think that DHS is underestimating. Whatever the number is, it’s way too high, right?” Vance said of the ongoing crisis. “It’s millions upon millions of illegal immigrants that have come in just since Kamala became border czar a few years ago. The first thing —”

“She was put in charge of the root causes of migration,” Welker interrupted.

“Well, the root cause of migration, I would say, Kristen, is that Kamala Harris refuses to do her job as Border Czar,” Vance shot back.

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
