'For election purposes': Critics balk at Harris' claim she will 'enforce our laws' at southern border

Vice President Kamala Harris made a 180-degree turn on her opinion about prosecuting illegal border crossings during her long-awaited first interview since becoming the Democratic Party's official nominee for president. 

CNN anchor Dana Bash questioned Harris Thursday about whether she still believed illegal border crossings should be prosecuted, something Harris indicated she was against while running her 2019 campaign to become president.

"I believe there should be consequence," Harris told Bash.
