Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) defended over the weekend his decision to give illegal aliens a wide range of free services in the state that act as a magnet for encouraging illegal immigration.

Walz made the remarks during a “Fox News Sunday” interview with Shannon Bream when confronted about some of the extreme policies that he has pursued at the expense of taxpayers.

Bream said that it was important to talk about his record since it “elucidates for people how [he] may serve” since he would only be a heartbeat away from serving as president if Vice President Kamala Harris wins the election this fall.

“[You] signed into law initiatives allowing immigrants in the country illegally to apply for driver’s licenses, qualify for free tuition at state universities, and enroll in the state’s free health care program for low income residents,” Bream said.

When asked if taxpayers should have to pay for these unpopular programs, Walz claimed without evidence that Harris does not support the initiatives — even though she indicated support for them just a few years ago.

Walz then defended the radical programs, saying that his state ranks as top business state where people have health care access.

He also claimed that his state had some of the safest roads in the country.

Walz then claimed that Harris was the strongest candidate when it comes to securing the southern border, an issue that she was put in charge of and failed miserably to achieve as well over 10 million illegal aliens came into the U.S.
