During a Univision town hall on Thursday, Vice President Kamala Harris doubled down on furthering the ongoing invasion at the U.S. southern border if elected president this November.
The moment came when a prospective voter questioned Harris about what she would do to support noncitizens who have resided in the United States “for years.” The Democrat nominee bragged about how “the first” piece of legislation the Biden-Harris administration sent to Congress was a bill that, among many things, sought to provide amnesty to illegal immigrants within the country.
Referred to by the White House as the U.S. Citizenship Act, the measure specifically would have allowed foreign nationals residing in the United States prior to Jan. 1, 2021, “to apply for temporary legal status, with the ability to apply for green cards after five years if they pass criminal and national security background checks and pay their taxes.” After a three-year waiting period, “all green card holders who pass additional background checks and demonstrate knowledge of English and U.S. civics can apply to become citizen.”
But Harris didn’t stop there. She went on to lament the death of a “border security bill” introduced by bipartisan members of Congress earlier this year, a bill that would have enshrined the existing invasion at the U.S.-Mexico border into law.
“A bipartisan group of members of Congress, including one of the most conservative members of the United States Senate, came together with one of the strongest border security bills we’ve had in decades,” Harris claimed.
