The Democrat Party has been taking their open border policies to the max in recent years.
But the American people are growing frustrated with the open border and illegal immigration.
And now Kamala Harris faceplanted on live TV after being asked to explain this major flip-flop.
Voters view immigration as “very important”
Not long ago, Democrats were calling former President Donald Trump’s border wall proposal racist and xenophobic.
But after four years of the Biden-Harris regime’s open border policies, the American people are outraged over their refusal to bring forward a solid solution.
Shortly after Biden took office, Gallup reported that less than one-third of American voters wanted to see a decrease in overall immigration levels.
In June of this year, an astonishing 55% of voters said they want to see a decrease in the number of immigrants entering the nation each year.
That is the highest number Gallup has recorded since October 2001 – just one month after September 11.

Now, immigration is one of the top issues for voters as they head to the polls in November.
According to Pew Research, 61% of all voters list immigration as “very important” when considering who to vote for in this election.
Surprisingly, nearly 40% of Democrats held that view in June, along with over 80% of Republicans.
Now, Kamala Harris is realizing that a border wall might not be a bad idea.
From a “stupid use of money” to a politically convenient flip-flop
In 2019, when Kamala was still in the Senate, she sat down with CNN’s Jake Tapper at a town hall in Iowa.
The event was her first public appearance since announcing her campaign for the Democrat Presidential nomination.
According to The Week, Kamala attacked Trump’s plan, calling it a “medieval vanity project.”
Earlier in Trump’s term, she called it a “stupid use of money” and vowed to “block any funding for it.”
But back in August, Kamala made a major flip-flop on the border wall when she pushed for a compromise border bill that would essentially legalize border crossings up to a certain level.
And she was forced to agree to a portion of the bill that allocated $650 million towards work on the southern border.
“It requires the Trump border wall,” Senator James Lankford (R-OK) said at the time.
“It is in the bill itself that it sets the standards that were set during the Trump administration: Here’s where it will be built. Here’s how it has to be built, the height, the type, everything. . .” he added.
Now, after dodging the issue publicly for months — Kamala has been forced to answer for it.
Cooper: Border walls aren’t stupid anymore?
During a town hall with Anderson Cooper, the CNN anchor pressed Kamala to explain why she called it “stupid, useless, and a medieval vanity project” before offering a bill in support of it.
“You criticized the wall more than 50 times,” Cooper said ahead of her response.
Of course, Kamala responded, “Let’s talk about Donald Trump. . .”
The Democrat nominee stated that Trump lied about how the wall would be funded and his supposed inability to complete the construction.
“How much of the wall did he build? I think the last number I saw was about 2%,” she said.
Kamala went on to pledge that she would “bring forward that bipartisan bill to further strengthen and secure our border.”
Cooper asked again, “So you don’t think it’s stupid anymore?”
“I think what he did and how he did it was – did not make much sense because he actually didn’t do much of anything,” she said.
Then, Cooper pointed out that the Biden-Harris regime waited until this year to take any steps towards fixing the problem – and the steps they’ve taken have simply been to manipulate the data to pretend as though they’re cutting down on the number of illegal border crossings.
Kamala responded in triumph, “You’re exactly right, Anderson. And as of today, we have cut the flow of immigration by over half.”
COOPER: In 2022/2023 there were RECORD border crossings. The numbers kept going up.
KAMALA: We have cut the flow of immigration.
COOPER: Why didn’t you do it 2 years ago?

But Cooper hit back, “If it was that easy without executive action, why not do it in 2022, 2023?”
Kamala said she was looking for a “long term fix.”
“You couldn’t have done one and both at the same time,” Cooper reminded her.
