Vice President Kamala Harris, addressing an exclusive gathering in Arizona, asserted that the nation's immigration policies are in a state of disrepair.
She pledged to rectify the situation should she ascend to the presidency. This declaration comes amidst escalating criticism of her handling of border issues under the Biden-Harris administration. Her nomination as the Democratic candidate for the 2024 election has reignited discussions about her previous role as the "border czar" for the White House.
"We know our immigration system is broken, and we know what it takes to fix it," Harris proclaimed, drawing on her experience as California's Attorney General where she prosecuted crimes related to illegal immigration. She further elaborated on her proposed solution, "Comprehensive reform that includes strong border security and an earned pathway to citizenship."
However, according to The Post Millennial, the credibility of Harris's claims is questionable. Despite her insistence that her tenure as California's AG equips her to address border issues, the Biden-Harris administration has been grappling with an ongoing border crisis. This crisis is characterized by unprecedented levels of illegal immigration and an influx of individuals into the country.
In a significant setback, the administration had to suspend the contentious immigration "parole" program in July. This program, which permitted the monthly entry of 30,000 foreign nationals from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, was riddled with fraudulent immigrant sponsorship applications. Contrary to White House assurances of thorough vetting, the program has been implicated in allowing criminals into the country.
Harris's record as San Franciscos district attorney further complicates her stance on immigration. She was a vocal advocate for sanctuary cities during her tenure and leveraged this issue during her campaign. This policy has been linked to several criminal acts committed in the city.
The Arizona rally where Harris made these statements was an "invitation only" event, closed to the general public. Invitations were dispatched via email a day prior, and attendees were required to RSVP until the event reached capacity. This approach raises questions about the transparency and inclusivity of such political gatherings.
