Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) said during the vice presidential debate on Tuesday that Vice President Kamala Harris is responsible for the “real family separation policy” in the United States.

The CBS moderators asked Vance, who was facing off against Minnesota Democratic Governor Tim Walz, about the Trump campaign’s plan for deportations.

Vance quickly steered his answer to discuss how President Joe Biden tasked Harris — who is now the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee — with getting a grip on the “root causes” of migration to the southern U.S. border.

He later turned his response back to the question, and in particular as it relates to the issue of family separations.

“Right now in this country, we have 320,000 children that the Department of Homeland Security has effectively lost,” Vance said.

After lamenting how some of the kids may get thrown into sex trafficking or mixed up in drug trafficking, Vance took another swipe at Harris.

“The real family separation policy is unfortunately Kamala Harris’ wide open southern border,” Vance said.

Vance contended that “real leadership” would involve an admission that undoing the border policies of his running mate, former President Donald Trump, was a mistake.

“I wish she would do that. It would be good for all of us,” Vance said.
