    Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday chided Texas Republican
    Gov. Greg Abbott’s response to the news that at least 53
    migrants had died after being left in an abandoned semitruck in
    San Antonio, Texas this week.

    "How the governor of that state responded really highlights part
    of the problem because his response when there are 50 dead
    bodies in his state is to go straight to politics," Harris said
    in an interview with NPR. "Instead of dealing with the realities
    of the issue."

    Officials are still investigating what appears to be one of the
    deadliest human smuggling cases in modern U.S. history.
    Republicans were quick to blame the horrific incident on the
    Biden administration’s immigration policies.

    "These deaths are on Biden," tweeted Abbott Monday night. "They
    are a result of his deadly open border policies. They show the
    deadly consequences of his refusal to enforce the law."

    President Joe Biden shot back at the governor and accused him of
    "political grandstanding" after several Republicans slammed the administration’s border policies.

    Republicans blame the surge of migrants at the southern border
    this year and Monday’s deadly incident on what they argue are
    "open border policies" after the White House reversed Trump-era
    immigration regulations.

    Harris argued the administration is taking "seriously" the issue
    of human smuggling, which has increased in recent years as
    smugglers look to turn a profit on one of the most contested
    issues in the U.S.

    "There have been over 2,000 arrests just in the last three
    months. I think there are at least eight indictments that have
    happened," she said. "We need to deal with that, right, in terms
    of the consequences of criminal behavior that results in death."

    While Republicans blame the White House for the nation’s
    immigration woes, Harris said the blame sat on the shoulders of
    the Trump administration.

    "We also need to take seriously the fact that we have a broken
    immigration system that was decimated by the last
    administration," she continued. "And we've been trying, and we
    are on the path doing it, to fix that broken system."

    Harris was deemed the "border czar" by Biden upon entering
    office.

    However, according to reports earlier this year, the second in
    command was frustrated with being handed this title and argued
    her assignment related to addressing issues in the Northern
    Triangle countries of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, which
    have led to the influx of migrants, and not necessarily U.S.
    immigration policies.

    Harris continues to face steep criticism from Republicans over
    her role as border czar.

    The victims in Monday’s tragic events included at least 22
    migrants from Mexico, seven from Guatemala and two from Honduras.
