Immigration is one of the top priorities of the American electorate heading into a highly contentious election, with the majority of voters reporting that they trust Donald Trump on the issue more than they trust Kamala Harris.
Harris championed open border policies throughout her political career and throughout her administration, but claimed to have changed her positions on the issue since her second run for president began.
Just days ago on Bret Baier’s Special Report, she insisted that she and Walz both intended to “follow and enforce” the law on immigration, offering no substantial answers for the legislation Walz had signed as governor of Minnesota, like taxpayer funded college and driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants. She also attempted to shift blame to Trump for the bipartisan immigration bill he killed earlier this year.
When Baier acknowledged that there were three years of decisions from her administration that led to an unprecedented influx of illegal immigrants in the United States, she insisted that her administration had tried to fix “our broken immigration system” on their first day in office, but what she was referring to was the U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021 which would have granted amnesty and a fast track to citizenship to nearly every illegal immigrant in the country, ultimately incentivizing more of it.
Breitbart News reports:
The legislation, sent to Congress by President Joe Biden immediately after being sworn into office on Jan. 20, 2021, would offer so-called “Lawful Prospective Immigrant” status to most of the millions of illegal aliens living in the United States — allowing them to hold American jobs, secure Social Security cards, and travel outside the United States and still be readmitted.
Then, after five years on Lawful Prospective Immigrant status, such illegal aliens would be able to obtain a green card. After only three years on a green card, a shortened length of time compared to current federal immigration law, such illegal aliens would be eligible to apply for naturalized American citizenship.
Meanwhile, illegal alien farmworkers, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients, and those in the U.S. on Temporary Protected Status (TPS) would be offered green cards immediately. After only three years, these three subsets of migrants would be able to apply for naturalized American citizenship.
Though including nearly every illegal alien in the United States, the mass amnesty plan goes even further. Under one such provision, the plan would allow illegal aliens deported under former President Donald Trump to secure amnesty if they were present in the United States for at least three years before their deportation.
While illegal immigration has been an issue for years far beyond the border states, it’s reached a boiling point during the Biden-Harris administration, and has become palpable and visible all over the country, with communities in states like New York and Massachusetts complaining of having critical resources like school buses, low income housing and community centers taken and repurposed for migrants.
Americans across the country have also been introduced to a criminal element, especially as it relates to Venezuelan migrants and the Tren de Aragua gang that’s made headlines over the last two years for their violent sprees in Colorado in New York.
