Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia told Fox News anchor Bret Baier that Vice President Kamala Harris was “dead wrong” to claim that America’s border is secure.

While massive numbers of migrants have been pouring across the southern border month after month, Harris told “Meet the Press” moderator Chuck Todd that the U.S. border is secure.

“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,” the vice president said.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection data indicates that from October 2021 through July 2022 there have been nearly 2 million southwest land border encounters.

Todd pressed the issue, asking the vice president whether she is “confident” that the border is secure.

“We have a secure border, in that that is a priority for any nation including ours,” Harris said, indicating that it represents a priority for the administration.
