Harris dodges border wall question, blames Trump despite record numbers on her watch

Harris was speaking to reporters when she was asked about the barrier construction, which was brought up during a CNN town hall meeting in the swing state of Pennsylvania Wednesday. 

"The biggest issue that we have right now is that Donald Trump has stood in the way of what would have been a proven part of the solution to the bigger problem, which is that we have a broken immigration system in America, and we need to fix it," Harris continued. 

"How much of that wall did he build? I think the last number I saw was about 2%," Harris said Wednesday. 

Harris was asked at the town hall if she agreed to earmark $650 million to continue construction of the border wall, which Harris previously called "stupid."

On Thursday, Harris said Trump prefers to run on the problem instead of fixing the immigration system. 

"I intend to fix the problem in a way that is just about practical solutions that are within our arm's reach. If we have the commitment to do it," she said without responding to the border wall question. 

That bill would have paved the way to citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants.
