While there was some avoidance to questions, and that
was a disappointment, many of her answers were
brilliant.
Noting that *rump didn't dare show. She put herself
out there, and whether she answered or didn't, her
words mattered.
We have come to appreciate whatever *rump says may be
denied in the next hour or visit depending on the
audience, if he even gets out a coherent statement.
Can't remember when he last spoke English and the truth
in the same sentence without sounding like it was
accidental.
Kudos to Kamala.

First, her other answers when she didn't avoid the
question were brilliant.
Why she and her team haven't crafted a serious response
to the immigration question and the various responses
is a mystery to me. It was an obvious first question
and she didn't have a pat answer. Since she and the
administration are dealing with the immigration issue
now more successfully and without trumplican
interference would have been much further along down
the road, the lack of a facile answer is a minor thing.
There is no person who reads who should not despise the
entire Trump milieu & minions. Who would want a liar,
a cheat and thief, a molester, treasonous and God knows
what despicable else in charge and care of their lives?

Part of that could be having one foot in the
President's admin, where she's duty bound to support
(or at least not criticize) what he's leading, vs her
own plans. Some she can speak about..but if they are
too different from the bosses, she's going to have to
"do no harm" for a bit.
She's walking a tightrope between doing her duty as VP
under Biden's plans, and creating her own plans which
may--or may not, agree with Biden's.
Just a possible explanation.
We saw how JD Vance was treated when he expressed
different, and often more extreme positions than his
boss (like on abortion, women and 2025ad) where Trump
had to explain that he doesn't share his VP's position,
doesn't talk to him, and it made him look the fool. no
doubt JD got a talking to on overstepping his bounds
with his own ideas that had not yet been blessed by
dear leader.
Again, i don't know--I'm going to have to watch the
video and see for myself what kinds of questions (or
traps) she was dealing with for myself.

it is a mystery why she still has no answer on immigration. but think about
the question, it was pointed out that illegal immigrants quadrupled when
biden/harris took office and then plummeted earlier this year when they
finally took action to close the border. the interviewer even asked twice if
it was a mistake not to have changed sooner with no answer
saying america doesn’t know her because she flip flopped on so many
positions from 4 years ago she also had no answer other than she has
been vp for 3 years
she didn’t have an answer on how she would pay for her economic plan
other than tax the rich which isn’t an answer. the interviewer asked that
several times. she wouldn’t answer on why we have no sway over
netanyahu even though we financially support their military. she wouldn’t
say netanyahu was an ally, only that the people of israel were allies
not many real answers in the entire interview

I watched her appearance on the View and she handled
the question perfectly, with aplomb. I can only guess
it was the wording or abrupt attitude that threw her
off.
It was such a minor thing, *rumplicans taking out
Lankford's bill was important.
Not taxing the rich increased the deficit.
The rich are only the rich on the wages and property of
the rest. Without balance we are little more than wage
slaves without choice, education, healthcare, roads,
infrastructure. Tax the rich. Should they pay fewer
taxes than a policeman or nurse?
The Netanyahu question was stupid. She cannot answer
for him. I thought her answer that we stand with
Israel was brilliant.
As to your statement of no real answers, we don't
agree. Kudos Kamal.

Was busy do I don't have the language exactly.
First up was immigration, and this time she went into
the bill Biden sent to Congress on his first day that
was never presented due to Republican Congress to
Lankfords bill *rump squashed so he could run on the
issue. All in all she seemed more comfortable and
relaxed, she was preaching to the choir.

isn’t that the same things she said in the 60 minutes interview? she
blamed congress then too. what she didn’t answer on 60 minutes; was it a
mistake to loosen border policy since illegal immigration quadrupled and
since the executive order tightening up the border earlier this year
dramatically cut immigration why didn’t they do that years ago?
she did say on the view that she wouldn’t do anything differently than
biden which is strange in light of the administration’s failure at the border

some of the illegal immigration. she was asked if the original changes
were a mistake and why the administration waited so long to take action

there is no easy answer to the immigration problem...that can be seen by the long history of failure to come up with a "solution"...it seems the root of the problem is the disparity between the quality of life in america and the latin american countries...disparity brought on by decades of unhelpful american influence and meddling in latin america...the only way to make the immigration problem go away is to somehow address the disparity issue...and that is really difficult since most of those countries are run by criminal cartels...

It's only an issue because Trump told Johnson to kill
the solution.
This tells you all you need to know. He doesn't care
about immigration at all. it's only a political
bludgeon he didn't want taken away.
He also had 4 yrs to solve immigration and his
solutions were useless and cruel, and still didn't
work.
Why in the hell should we go back to that?
His suggested new plans are even more cruel, massively
expensive and fascistic with even concentration camps
and de-naturalizing citizens that already are
Americans. Removing even legal immigrants. Tattoos to
keep track of kids...wtf?
And the money...the immorality of the plan is self-
evident. The expense of it will fully break the
economy, not help it . It will start a death spiral of
economics.

Kamala Harris Confronted on Border Policy in '60 Minutes' Interview
Published Oct 07, 2024 at 10:42 PM EDT
By Adeola Adeosun
Weekend Night Editor
Vice President Kamala Harris faced some tough questions on the Biden
administration's immigration policies during an interview on CBS' 60
Minutes that aired on Monday.
Correspondent Bill Whitaker pressed the Democratic presidential nominee
on the Biden administration's handling of border security, particularly
focusing on the timing of recent policy changes that led to a decrease in
border crossings.
Whitaker challenged Harris, noting the significant increase in arrivals
during the administration's first three years compared to the previous
administration. "There was a historic flood of undocumented immigrants
coming across the border the first three years of your administration. As a
matter of fact, arrivals quadrupled from the last year of [former] President
[Donald] Trump," Whitaker said.
When asked if it was a mistake to loosen immigration policies, Harris
defended the administration's approach: "It's a long-standing problem.
And solutions are at hand. And from Day One, literally, we have been
offering solutions."
Newsweek contacted the Harris and Trump campaigns via email for
comment on Monday.
Kamala Harris at border
Vice President Kamala Harris, middle, walks with U.S. Border Patrol
Tucson Sector Chief John Modlin, right, in Douglas, Arizona, on
September 27. Harris was confronted on immigration and the border
during a "60 Minutes" interview.... More
Whitaker persisted: "Was it a mistake to kind of allow that flood to happen
in the first place?" Harris responded by highlighting recent efforts: "We
have cut the flow of illegal immigration by half. We have cut the flow of
fentanyl by half. But we need Congress to be able to act to actually fix the
problem."
The vice president emphasized the need for congressional action, citing
an early proposal for immigration reform and recent bipartisan efforts in
the Senate. Harris said opposition from Trump derailed progress on a
border security bill.
The Republican presidential nominee was also notably absent from the 60
Minutes lineup after he reportedly backed out of the interview after
previously indicating he would participate.
Trump and running mate Ohio Senator JD Vance have accused the Biden-
Harris administration of illegally allowing immigrants into the country. "If
Kamala Harris waves a wand, illegally, and says these people are now here
legally, I'm still going to call them illegal aliens. An illegal action by Kamala
Harris does not make an alien legal. That is not how this works," Vance
said at a September campaign rally.
The 60 Minutes interview also comes amid recent reports from U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
In a recent letter to Republican Texas Representative Tony Gonzales, ICE
deputy director Patrick Lechleitner reported that 425,431 convicted
criminals and 222,141 people with pending criminal charges were on the
agency's non-detained docket.
Gonzales called the numbers "astronomical" in remarks to Fox News,
while House Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Mark Green, a
Tennessee Republican congressman, described the contents of the letter
as "shocking."
A Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson, however,
previously told Newsweek the data in the letter was being misinterpreted:
"The data goes back decades; it includes individuals who entered the
country over the past 40 years or more, the vast majority of whose
custody determination was made long before this administration."
The report came after Harris was scheduled to visit the U.S.-Mexico
border in Arizona last month.

Harris refused to say whether the Biden administration's early border

Vice President Kamala Harris for weeks was criticized for avoiding tough
questions that came with long-form traditional media interviews.
In an interview with CBS News’ “60 Minutes” that aired Monday evening,
she faced many of them all at once.
Chief among them was whether she regretted the initial border policy
during the Biden administration that allowed a historic swell of immigrants
across the border.
“Was it a mistake to loosen the immigration policies as much as you did?”
“60 Minutes” correspondent Brian Whitaker asked.
“It’s a long-standing problem, and solutions are at hand, and from day
one, literally, we have been offering solutions,” Harris said, pointing to an
early attempt to advocate for an immigration bill in Congress.
Whitaker, who noted that the border security issue had been ongoing for
decades, tried twice more to pin Harris down. She did not concede a
policy error on her part or on the part of President Joe Biden, pointing to
efforts by the administration from the day it took over from Donald Trump
to work with Congress and win a comprehensive immigration solution.
Harris also pointed to changes the administration has more recently made
that significantly curbed encounters at the southern border.
“Because of what we have done, we have cut the flow of illegal
immigration by half, but we need Congress to be able to act to actually fix
the problem,” she said.
It was just one of the searing questions that Whitaker formulated as he
peppered Harris and, for a shorter time, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz in
advance of the November election. Harris and Walz have been cautious in
their approach to sitting with traditional media, a strategy that has
worried some Democrats that it could hurt them in the end. With 29 days
until the election, the Harris campaign announced a media "blitz" that
includes late-night show appearances.
Before the interview, the program noted that it was a decadeslong
practice to air interviews of both presidential candidates in a special. But
Trump, after having initially accepted the invitation and having his
campaign coordinate logistics, backed out. (In lieu of a segment on
Trump, the program instead aired a feature on the fight in Maricopa
County, Arizona, an important location in the election, where Republicans
have pushed back against Trump allies’ advocating baseless conspiracies
that he did not lose there in 2020.)
That meant it was Harris alone who sat to answer for her past statements,
early positions and campaign promises. On many of the questions, she
deflected or sidestepped. They included whether she thought Ukraine
should be part of NATO.
At one point, Harris was pressed about how she would pay to fund small-
business credits, child tax credits, housing assistance and other promises
she has made on the trail. Her initial response was to criticize Trump's
economic policies.
“I’m going to make sure that the richest among us, who can afford it, pay
their fair share in taxes. It is not right that teachers and nurses and
firefighters are paying a higher tax rate than billionaires and the biggest
corporations,” she said.
Whitaker pressed Harris, saying that in the “real world” she would not get
it through Congress. She disagreed.
He also asked Harris how she would answer Republicans’ contention that
the public did not know her because she had changed her past positions
so many times.
“In the last four years, I have been vice president of the United States.
And I have been traveling our country. And I have been listening to folks
and seeking what is possible in terms of common ground. I believe in
building consensus. We are a diverse people, geographically, regionally, in
terms of where we are in our backgrounds,” Harris said. “And what the
American people do want is that we have leaders who can build
consensus.”
Harris also revealed a bit more about owning a gun after she said in a
televised discussion with Oprah Winfrey that if someone broke into her
home, "they're getting shot."
Harris said only that she owned a Glock and that "of course I have" fired it
"at a shooting range."
Harris was given an opening at the end to opine on what voters should
take from Trump’s skipping an interview. Harris, as she has in the past,
encouraged the public to watch his rallies and listen to his remarks.
“You’re going to hear conversations that are about himself and all of his
personal grievances. And what you will not hear is anything about you, the
listener,” Harris said. “You will not hear about how he is going to try to
bring the country together, find common ground. ... That is why I believe
in my soul and heart the American people are ready to turn the page.”

Harris pushed on Ukraine, if 'mistakes' were made at border and US debt
US Vice-President Kamala Harris was pressed on issues including the
Middle East, Ukraine, gun ownership and immigration during a one-on-one
interview with CBS News' 60 Minutes.
The recorded interview comes as Harris ramps up media appearances on
a series of podcasts and TV networks amid criticism that she has made
very few.
Donald Trump also was invited for an interview on 60 Minutes, but
declined.
There is less than a month to go before Election Day in the race for the
White House between the Democrat and her Republican opponent.
The interview on CBS News, the BBC's US partner, aired Monday night
after both Harris and Trump appeared at events to commemorate one year
since the 7 October attack on Israel.
Harris declined to agree when asked by reporter Bill Whitaker whether
Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu is a "strong ally" of the United
States, after recent public disagreements between the White House and
Jerusalem.
"The work that we do diplomatically with the leadership of Israel is an
ongoing pursuit around making clear our principles," Harris said.
"I think, with all due respect, the better question is, do we have an
important alliance between the American people and the Israeli people,"
she continued. "And the answer to that question is yes."
In a more tense moment, Harris also was pressed to defend her
immigration record, which has been heavily attacked by Trump and
Republicans.
Mr Whitaker asked her whether it was a “mistake” to loosen border
restrictions put in place by Trump, given that the Biden-Harris
administration re-enacted restrictions three years after taking control of
the White House.
“It's a longstanding problem. And solutions are at hand. And from day
one, literally, we have been offering solutions,” she said, blaming Trump
for pressuring Republicans in Congress to torpedo a border deal that
would have increased immigration enforcement.
The reporter responded: “What I was asking was, was it a mistake to kind
of allow that flood to happen in the first place?”
Harris replied that “the policies that we have been proposing are about
fixing a problem, not promoting a problem” and said that she and Biden
have “cut the flow of illegal immigration by half”.
On Ukraine, Harris said she would not sit down with Russian President
Vladimir Putin unless Ukraine was also at the table.
She slammed Trump's position, saying: "He talks about, oh, he can end it
on day one. You know what that is? It's about surrender," she said.
If Trump was still president, she said, "Putin would be in Kyiv right now".
She also was asked about her economic plan and how her administration
would fund some of its plans, which could add $3tr (£2.3tr) to the US
national deficit over the next decade.
"My economic plan would strengthen America’s economy. His would
weaken it," she said, adding that her plan relied on "strengthening small
businesses".
Asked again how she would pay for it, Harris responded that she would
raise taxes on "the richest among us who can afford it".
On Monday, a new analysis by non-partisan group the Committee for a
Responsible Federal Budget, found Trump's proposals would increase the
US national debt by double the amount of Harris's.
Trump would add $7.5tn and Harris would add $3.5tn, the group said.
The think tank warned that neither was addressing the country's growing
$35.6tn debt.
In her interview, Harris also discussed owning a firearm, revealing that her
pistol is made by Austrian company Glock.
"I've had it for quite some time," she said, noting that her "background is
in law enforcement".
Harris, a former district attorney in California, laughed when asked if she
had ever fired it, saying, "of course I have, at a shooting range."
Also speaking on the same programme, Harris's running mate Minnesota
Governor Tim Walz, criticised Trump for his comments on his opponents
and migrants.
"They're dehumanising, they go beyond weird because, I said this, it
becomes almost dangerous. Let's try to debate policy in a real way and
let's try to find objective truth again."
He also defended his record of making false statements about his military
service and travels in Asia in the 1980s.
Walz described himself as a guy "telling a story, getting a date wrong",
rather than a "pathological liar" like Trump.
"I will own up to being a knucklehead at times, but the folks closest to me
know that I keep my word."
Trump also was invited to 60 Minutes. He accepted, but later changed his
mind and declined, according to CBS.
Trump's campaign disputed that he ever agreed to be interviewed. His
spokesman, Steven Cheung called it "fake news".
During his 2020 presidential campaign, Trump walked out of his interview
with CBS presenter Leslie Stahl after growing frustrated with questions
about Covid-19.
Earlier on Monday, Harris commemorated those lost on 7 October by
planting a pomegranate tree in the garden of the Vice-President’s
residence in Washington.
“A symbol of hope and righteousness… to remind future vice-presidents
of the United States not only of the horror of October 7th but the strength
and endurance of the Jewish people,” Harris said.
Former President Donald Trump donned a black yarmulke as he visited
Ohel Chabad Lubavitch, the final resting place of Rabbi Schneerson in
Queens, New York on Monday.
The site is considered the holiest Jewish site in North America, according
to some Orthodox Jews.

Harris pressed on changing positions, economic plan in ’60 Minutes’ interview
by Alex Gangitano - 10/07/24 9:27 PM ET
Vice President Harris was pressed on her changing policy positions and her expensive economic plan on “60 Minutes,” in what proved to be her toughest media interview since becoming the Democratic nominee.
CBS News’s Bill Whitaker questioned Harris on a variety of issues, including Harris’s evolving stances on fracking, immigration and Medicare. At one point, Whitaker, citing the nonpartisan Committee for Responsible Federal Budget, estimated her plans could add more than $3 trillion to the federal deficit.
Harris, in turn, argued that her plan would strengthen the economy, while former President Trump’s plan would weaken it. But Whitaker repeated the question, asking how such expensive proposals would be paid for.
“But we’re dealing with the real world here,” he replied when she said she would make sure wealthy Americans pay their fair share in taxes. “How are you gonna get this through Congress?”
“When you talk quietly with a lot of folks in Congress, they know exactly what I’m talking about because their constituents know exactly what I’m talking about. Their constituents are those firefighters and teachers and nurses. Their constituents are middle-class, hard-working folk,” Harris replied.
She disagreed when Whitaker said Congress has not indicated they would agree and pass such legislation.
“I am a devout public servant. You know that. I am also a capitalist. And I know the limitations of government,” Harris said.
Whitaker also questioned her on several changing positions including once supporting a ban on fracking, looser immigration policies at the border and the concept of Medicare For All, which she stood by when running for the Democratic nomination in 2020.
Whitaker asked if Harris thought that was one reason that Americans say they don’t know her.
“In the last four years I have been vice president of the United States. And I have been traveling our country. And I have been listening to folks and seeking what is possible in terms of common ground. I believe in building consensus. We are a diverse people,” Harris said.
She added, “Geographically, regionally, in terms of where we are in our backgrounds. And what the American people do want is that we have leaders who can build consensus. Where we can figure out compromise and understand it’s not a bad thing, as long as you don’t compromise your values, to find common-sense solutions.”
In past interviews, Harris has responded to similar questions by saying her “values” have not changed on issues like fracking. Her previous opposition to fracking, which her campaign now says it no longer supports, will matter in a critical state like Pennsylvania, where fracking is an important industry.
On the issue of immigration, Whitaker noted that President Biden’s recent crack down on asylum seekers has led to a decrease in illegal border crossings after those numbers quadrupled compared to the Trump administration. Whitaker then asked why the administration didn’t take those steps three years ago.
The vice president responded that the first bill the Biden administration proposed to Congress was to fix the immigration system, but it was not taken up. Then she highlighted that Trump had a hand in tanking a border proposal negotiated by a bipartisan group of senators earlier this year.
“But we need Congress to be able to act to actually fix the problem,” Harris replied when Whitaker continued to ask about why Biden didn’t step in to curb the influx of migrants sooner.
Harris is on a media blitz this week, where on Tuesday she will appear on “The View” and Howard Stern’s Sirius XM show.
She has faced widespread criticism for not sitting for more tough interviews, in particular by Trump and his running mate Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio). In August, Harris was interviewed by CNN, alongside her running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. She was interviewed by MSNBC last month.
Trump declined CBS News’s offer to participate in the program’s traditional interviews it has with presidential candidates ahead of the election.
