North Dakota Gov. Burgum says that Harris wants 'open borders' for the US, 'just like Biden'
North Dakota Gov. Burgum called out Vice President Harris for allowing for “open borders” under her administration, also criticizing the polices of President Biden on border security.
“Harris wants to have open borders, just like Biden has,” Burgum said in an interview on CNN Friday. “That’s one of the big issues that people are going to be facing. And we’re very clear about how President Trump stands on that issue.”
While Harris signaled recently in her sit-down interview Thursday with CNN’s Dana Bash that she would “enforce” laws on immigration, she has faced criticism for her record on the border during her administration, including the number of border crossings.
HARRIS SHIFTS KEY POSITIONS ON BORDER, ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION AS CAMPAIGN PROMISES ‘PRAGMATIC’ APPROACH
When responding to former President Trump’s stance on the border, Burgum said that Republicans believe that certain issues, including enforcing border laws, are under the authority of the federal government.
“One of the things that’s very clear is that the border, as part of national security, is the federal government’s job,” Burgum said. “That’s not left to the states. President Trump wants to secure our border.”

“It doesn’t matter if you’re a Republican, a Democrat, or an independent,” Burgum later said. “Inflation, high interest rates, wars abroad, open borders, those are the things that have hurt every American.”
‘FOR ELECTION PURPOSES’: CRITICS BALK AT HARRIS’ CLAIM SHE WILL ‘ENFORCE OUR LAWS’ AT SOUTHERN BORDER
Burgum said that America needs to return to “low inflation, low interest rates, peace abroad, and an energy policy that wasn’t creating poverty here at home and empowering our adversaries.”
“Those are the issues that the election is going to turn on,” he said, avoiding questions about abortion and in vitro fertilization.
Harris’ stance on border and immigration laws have changed in recent years.
Harris told the San Francisco Chronicle in 2015 that “an undocumented immigrant is not a criminal.” She also posted the claim on social media. And in a discussion with the late Arizona GOP Sen. John McCain’s daughter, Meghan, during a 2019 episode of “The View,” Harris reiterated her stance.
“I would not make it a crime punishable by jail,” she said. “It should be a civil enforcement issue but not a criminal enforcement issue.”
The Harris campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.

He will be running in the third heat of the 400-meter prelims, scheduled for 4:52 p.m. June 4. There are seven athletes in each heat, 21 total, and nine will advance to the finals at 6:20 p.m. June 5.
The top two finishers in each heat advance, along with the next three best times. Berndt’s personal best time of 50.67 has him seeded 13th, but the 10th-, 11th- and 12th-seeded runners are less than five hundredths of a second ahead of him. The eighth- and ninth-seeded runners are also close, at 50.33 and 50.39, respectively.
Berndt dropped nearly seven-tenths of a second from his previous personal best at the Section 6A West Subsection Meet on May 21, running 51.35, and shaved another 0.68 seconds off at the Section 6A Championships on May 28 with a time of 50.67. If he keeps lowering his time, he will have a shot at reaching the podium against the best runners in Class A.

On this day in 1971, Rugby repeated as North Dakota’s high school sand greens golf champion behind medalist Dwight Stempson’s winning performance.
Here is the complete story as it appeared in the paper that day:
Rugby Repeats As Sand Greens Golf Champion
RUGBY, N. D. — Rugby repeated as North Dakota high school sand greens golf champion here Wednesday, posting a four-man total of 293 strokes for 18 holes.
Led by medalist Dwight Stempson’s medalist 36-35 — 71, the Panthers were eight strokes ahead of runnerup Stanley, which had a 301. Following were Garrison 311, Beulah 315, Leeds 322, Ashley 323, Bottineau 328, Pembina 329, Tioga 332, Parshall 341 and Hettinger 342.
Stempson and teammate Bruce Carlson each had one-under par 71s, but Carlson was unable to be at the regional and wasn’t qualified for individual honors.
Rounding out the Rugby totals were Delwin Wilson 40-37 — 77 and Dennett Hutchinson 35-39 — 74. Gary Kirchoffner, 41-39 — 80, was Rugby’s fifth entrant with the best four-of-five scores counted.
Runnerup Stanley was led by Steve Springan’s 34-38 — 72 and Joe Springan’s 36-38 — 74. Their two-man total of 146 strokes was good enough for the doubles title. Two strokes back with a 148 was the duo of Stempson and Wilson. Stan Saathoff and Mike Stepina of Garrison each had 76s for a 152 total and the Ashley combo of Steve Maier (76) and Dave Kretschmar (78) was fourth with a 154.
Stempson was the driving contest winner with a distance of 280 yards. Chris Knutson of Garrison headed the pitch and putt competition.
