Vice President Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) has finally added a political splurge to her website, doubling down on her support for amnesty for undocumented immigrants if she’s elected in November.
How Fox News reports that the platform was added to the Harris-Walz campaign website after nearly two months. In an attempt to distance herself from her past radical positions, including supporting taxpayer-funded health care for all undocumented immigrants, Harris has tried to portray herself as much more hawkish on the immigration crisis.
“Vice President Harris and Governor Walz believe in tough, smart solutions to secure the border, keep communities safe, and reform our broken immigration system,” the “issues” website now claims. The website continues, saying that Harris, as California’s attorney general, “pursued international drug gangs, human traffickers, and cartels that smuggled weapons, drugs, and people across the U.S.-Mexico border.”
Her website also promises to sign a border security bill that was proposed by the current Congress but rejected due to opposition from conservative Republicans who believed the bill did not go far enough to curb illegal immigration.
“As vice president, she supported the bipartisan border security bill, the strongest reform in decades,” the page continues. “The legislation would deploy more detection technology to intercept fentanyl and other drugs and add 1,500 border agents to protect our border. As president, she will reintroduce the bipartisan border security bill and sign it into law.”
However, campaign officials continue to acknowledge that Harris supports a “path to citizenship” (a euphemism for amnesty) for most undocumented immigrants.
“At the same time, he knows our immigration system is broken and needs comprehensive reform that includes strong border security and a path to citizenship,” the website states. “We need Congress to act and do what we know is necessary to fully dedicate resources to the border and create a meaningful path to citizenship.”
The border crisis remains a dominant issue for voters, less than two months before the 2024 election. Since coming to power, the Biden-Harris administration has steadily increased both legal and illegal immigration, importing over 9 million illegal immigrants to the country.
Former President Donald Trump announced that if elected to a second, non-consecutive term, he would carry out the largest deportation operation in American history and complete construction of his signature border wall.
