From Fox News: Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz sought to distance Vice President Kamala Harris from laws he himself signed that granted benefits to illegal immigrants in Minnesota on Sunday.
Walz made the comments during a wide-ranging interview on Fox News Sunday with host Shannon Bream. Bream pressed Walz on his military history and his record on abortion in addition to questioning him on legislation he signed in Minnesota that allows illegal immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses and receive state-funded tuition assistance, among other benefits.
“Are those not magnets to draw people here, many times on dangerous journeys for themselves? And why should your taxpayers in Minnesota or across the states pay for those programs?” Bream asked.
“Well, that’s not the vice president’s position,” Walz admitted, before going on to defend his leadership in Minnesota.
Completely side-stepping Bream’s question about giving driver’s licenses to illegal aliens, Walz touted, “But I will say this, Minnesota ranks as a top five business state. We rank as a top three state for children living, and we’re a top state for health care access.”
“Look, the Vice President has made it clear that she has policies that make a difference. Her border policies are the most strongest, the fairest we’ve seen,” he claimed.

Walz also pushed a false claim about a woman who died after taking an abortion pill, and Bream had to set the record straight.
Walz claimed, “States like Georgia force women to cross the border and then we have the de*th of Amber Thurman.”
Shannon Bream responded: “About the Amber Thurman case in Georgia. What her family has said is it was a complication from an abortion pill that she received and she didn’t get proper care when she went to a Georgia hospital, which had multiple opportunities to intervene there.”
“The family’s attorney says it wasn’t the Georgia law, it was the hospitals. What he claims is malpractice not treating her when she clearly showed up in distress and still had the byproducts of her pregnancy because of that rare complication from the abortion pill.”
