Recent revelations highlight that Harris’s father, Donald Harris, once expressed serious concerns about mass immigration and its potential impact on American society in a treatise he co-authored in the late 80s, laying out his vision for the turn of the century.
The Daily Caller reports:
The 1988 book titled “Black Economic Progress: An Agenda for the 1990s” described immigration as “a particularly serious problem for blacks” due to there being fewer jobs available for working-class Americans, according to the New York Post. Donald Harris was reportedly a Marxist economist and currently has a strained relationship with his daughter, the sitting vice president, following his divorce from her mother and a difficult custody battle.
Readers should note that Senator Bernie Sanders — a self proclaimed socialist with decades worth of activism in progressive politics — had also voiced similar concerns earlier in his career.
He wrote, “Trends in international trade have moved against U.S. workers. U.S. immigration laws have been modified in ways that increase the influx of low-skilled workers, who compete with native-born youths and low-skilled adult workers for low-skilled jobs.”
The book continues, “This shift has been a particularly serious problem for blacks, who constitute a high proportion of the low-skilled adult workers.”
Trump has repeatedly made this point on the campaign trail and in all three of his runs for president, but was accused of “racism” for acknowledging these statistical truths.
As the migrant crisis continues to soar to unprecedented levels under the Biden-Harris administration, it appears that Trump’s messaging is finally resonating, as black residents in deep blue strongholds like Chicago and New York have voiced increasing frustrations with Democratic leadership that seems to prioritize illegal immigrants over their communities, and diverts resources to the newcomers that they believe should be spent on citizens.
The Daily Caller continues:
Kamala Harris assumed the unofficial role of “border czar” under the Biden-Harris administration during which there were roughly 8.5 million migrant encounters along the U.S.-Mexico border. The vice president proclaimed in August her new-found supportfor the building of a wall along the southern border after repeatedly criticizing former President Donald Trump for his stance on immigration and previously referring to his plan for a wall as “un-American.”
An October House Judiciary Committee report revealed that nearly one million illegal migrants currently reside in the U.S. without consequences or fear of deportation under “quiet amnesty” due to their immigration cases being closed, terminated or dismissed.
Immigration is consistently listed as top three issue for voters, with voters regularly reporting that they trust Trump more than Harris when it comes to border security.
Harris championed open border policies during her time in the Senate, her first run for president, and her vice presidency, but has tried to distance herself from her previous positions in order to broaden her appeal ahead of Election Day.
She’s also lost critical support from black voters, particularly black men. The Democratic Party has heavily relied on black supporters, and while the majority of black voters still plan to vote for her according to polls, the decrease in support could prove detrimental.
