Kamala Harris Campaign Promises: More Migration, Amnesty, and Bidenomics

Neil Munro, Breitbart, September 10, 2024

Kamala Harris’s 2024 campaign is promising amnesty for millions of illegals, the inflow of more migrants, and more government power over Americans’ private and public economies.

Late on September 7, her website was updated with her campaign promises, including a section on migration:

As President, she will bring back the [February 2024] bipartisan border security bill and sign it into law. At the same time, she knows that our immigration system is broken and needs comprehensive reform that includes strong border security and an earned pathway to citizenship.

Donald Trump’s pick for Vice President, J.D. Vance, slammed the Harris platform of more amnesty and more migration:

What she won’t tell you is that the [February] bill also codifies catch-and-release, allows up to 1.8 million illegals to enter before the border could be closed, gives billions of taxpayer dollars to the same NGOs that are driving the invasion and expands the executive parole powers used by Biden [to import quasi-legal migrants] instead of limiting them. The bill’s author Sen. Murphy put it best when he admitted that, under his bill, “the border never closes.”

I think all of that is totally unacceptable when our nation is facing a historic border crisis, which is why I and my Republican colleagues opposed it.

The February bill that she promises to sign “would merely codify the illegal actions that this administration — including herself — has already undertaken,” said Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies. “Of course, she would sign that bill: Her colleagues in the administration wrote the thing.”

The giveaway bill would have allowed officials to provide fast-track citizenship at the border, grant work permits to millions of illegal migrants per year, and allow employers to fly in cheap foreign workers instead of hiring better-paid Americans. In effect, it would allow the second branch of government, the president’s Executives, to import as many foreign workers, renters, and consumers as it deemed best, with the advice of lobbyists, of course, and regardless of what Americans prefer.
