Kamala Harris' 2024 presidential campaign promises amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants, allowing more immigration and giving the government more power over the American private and public economies.
These pledges also show that she and her White House allies are using immigration to manipulate American wages, housing and the economy for the benefit of investors and their progressive allies.
Late on September 7, her website updated her campaign pledges. Migration section:
As president, she [February 2024] She will urge Congress to pass a bipartisan border security bill and sign it into law. At the same time, she recognizes that our immigration system is broken and needs comprehensive reform, including stronger border security and a path to citizenship.
A “path to citizenship” is a euphemism for mass amnesty for at least 15 million illegal alien immigrants, giving them the legal authority to compete for American jobs and vote in American elections.
J.D. Vance, Donald Trump's vice presidential pick Hit Harris' More Amnesty, More Immigration Platform:
What she won't tell you is [February] The bill would enshrine capture and release measures into law, allow up to 1.8 million illegal immigrants into the country before the border is closed, provide billions of dollars in taxpayer funding to the NGOs promoting the invasion, and expand the executive parole powers exercised by President Biden. [to import quasi-legal migrants] Restrict, not restrict. Senator Murphy, the bill's author, put it best when he acknowledged that under the bill, “the border will never be closed.”
I find all of this completely unacceptable at a time when our nation is facing a historic border crisis, which is why I and my Republican colleagues voted against it.
If Harris was serious about strengthening border security, “Kamala Harris should have instead pushed for a standalone vote on new border agents and scanners,” Vance added.
Harris has also pledged to deploy a small number of additional Border Patrol agents, but those agents would have little impact because her immigration policy also promises to let in even more migrants through legally challenged border loopholes.
The February bill she promises to sign “simply codifies the illegal actions that this administration, including her own, has already taken,” said Mark Krikorian, president of the Center for Immigration Studies. “Of course she will sign that bill. Her colleagues in the administration wrote it.”
This benefit bill would allow authorities to grant fast track citizenship at the border, issue work permits to millions of illegal immigrants a year, and allow employers to fly in cheap foreign labor instead of hiring higher-paid Americans. In effect, it would allow the president's executive branch, a second branch of government, to import as many foreign workers, renters, and consumers as it deemed best, with no regard for American preferences, of course.

Since 2021, Biden and his lieutenants have imported roughly 10 million legal and illegal immigrants. These immigrants have absorbed nearly all of the additional low-wage jobs created by Biden’s budget deficit, which has stifled wage-related inflation amid Congress’ deficit spending. The combination of budget deficits, increased immigration, and increased low-wage jobs is at the heart of Bidennomics.
“These newly arrived immigrants are a key reason why the U.S. economy has defied dire predictions, adding 200,000 jobs every month, growing real gross domestic product by 3 percent over the past year, and causing inflation to fall dramatically over the past few years,” said Jason Furman, an economic adviser to former Obama administration officials. Written of The Wall Street Journal June 2024.
But Biden's combination of immigration and government spending has led to rising budget deficits, rising home prices, flat wages, and falling productivity per capita. Wealth-creating productivity It was also acknowledged by Furman, an adviser to President Obama.
Biden's immigration chief is Alejandro Mayorkas, a Cuban-born immigration advocate who oversees the Department of Homeland Security and wrote much of the February 2024 bill that Harris has pledged to sign in 2025.
Mayorkas has the backing of many on Wall Street, FWD.us, Mark Zuckerberg's advocacy group for West Coast consumer-economy investors, and many progressive leaders, including President Barack Obama and officials who served in senior positions in the Biden administration.
Zuckerberg's West Coast investors have also supported Harris' national rise since her California career.
In 2021, Biden tried to sidestep Mayorkas's policies by giving Harris a bigger role on immigration, but Harris declined the request and instead supported Mayorkas, focusing on the vague issue of the “root causes” of migration from Central America.
Their support for more immigration is a core element of Biden economics.
In a balanced economy, unemployment is low and the supply of labor is tight. The result is a constant push and pull on a level playing field between employers and customers, employees and communities. This give and take is worked out when employers decide how much to pay wages and how much to invest in labor-saving machinery, and when employees decide whether to keep their jobs or move on to a better-paying job in another city. In May 2021, Biden explained his support for this highly popular goal: tight Labor market:
Rising wages are a feature, not a bug. We want to have what economists call “full employment.” We want employees to compete with each other to attract workers, not workers to compete with each other for scarce jobs. We want businesses to compete to attract workers… What would businesses like McDonald's, Home Depot, Bank of America have to do? They would have to raise wages to attract workers. That's the way it should be.
But Mayorkas and Harris have very strong supporters and very different views on wages and labor than Biden, and it was these views that gave birth to Bidennomics, despite Biden's feeble protests against Mayorkas' migration.
Harris and Mayorkas called the White House “unanimous” [total] “Power over immigration rests with the executive branch, not with Congress,” Krikorian said.
Over the past few decades, the executive branch has come to dominate foreign policy, Congress no longer declares wars, and the president has essentially taken war powers away from Congress…Obama [the Executive] It would make immigration a unilateral presidential policy rather than something controlled by Congress.
Krikorian said Mayorkas's influence in the White House has made him the country's “labor czar,” adding:
The power we give to the Federal Government is astounding, regardless of whether it is one person. Even the President should not have that kind of power… [But Harris’] The campaign supports that.
His power was acknowledged by the Biden administration's first labor secretary: “Immigration is about how to ensure that businesses and entities have the opportunity to hire people,” Labor Secretary Marty Walsh told Fox Business in December 2022.
But that power also gives Meyercus the power to create or eliminate tight labor markets that allow Americans to compete for higher wages from profit-seeking employers, to drive up or down housing prices, and to pressure companies to increase or decrease corporate investments in labor-saving and productivity-boosting workplace technologies.
It also gives him the power to decide whether investors, Americans and foreigners alike, will increase or decrease their wealth over the next decade. “We are building an immigration system that is designed to guarantee due process, respect human dignity and promote fairness,” Mayorkas said. Tweeted In August 2021, President Trump outlined a plan to ease restrictions on refugee admissions, encouraging a mass migration of poor job seekers.
He now wields unprecedented power in Springfield, Ohio, where Biden economics policies are shifting wealth and wages from 60,000 ordinary Americans to 20,000 imported, government-funded Haitian immigrants.
In August, the local newspaper, Springfield News-Sun Reported How National Food Service Company The company was able to hire undocumented immigrants, dubbed “New Americans,” through a special program that excluded Americans hoping to earn higher wages. “Kindred is basically a new American hiring program, so refugees, asylum seekers, literally anyone who is a new American, new to this country, can join the program,” Mehr-un-Nisa Jahed, a recruiter for the company, told a roomful of immigrants, according to the Post. Report.
Mayorkas' policies have divided many American communities, including Springfield, Ohio, and his immigration policies have led to many bitter debates about diversity, car accidents, huge hospital bills, education costs, Nazis, and the behavior of Haitians.

Mayorkas’ bionomic economic policies are also ruthless towards immigrants’ countries of origin. For example, Mayorkas’ Haitian immigrants include many of the most educated Haitians on the island. Trained Workers Their departure will leave island communities lacking key police officers and university graduates.
Unfortunately for Harris and Mayorkas, their immigration deregulation policies are extremely unpopular among Americans, and because the policies are also extremely popular among foreigners, it will be politically very difficult to schedule and manage a flood of immigrants into the United States.
Moreover, Donald Trump is building his 2024 campaign on the chaos and crime caused by Mayorkas' immigration. “This is one area where he's really good at swaying people's emotions,” Krikorian said. “His emotions are directed at illegal immigrants. That's what motivates him even more, and that's why he's so much better on law enforcement issues than other Republican politicians.”
But both Harris and Trump have ignored alternatives to large-scale immigration.
An alternative policy for sharing tech growth and trade was outlined in April by Larry Fink, founder of the $7 trillion Wall Street investment firm BlackRock.
We always thought [a] Decreasing population is a negative factor [economic] Growth. But in my conversations with the leaders of these great developed countries, [such as China, and Japan] No one can enter a country with xenophobic, anti-immigration policies. [so they have] Decreasing population — These countries will see rapid development of technologies such as robotics and AI…
“If all of this promises to transform productivity, Most of us would think so. [emphasis added] “You can have a declining population and still have a higher standard of living for countries, and for individuals,” Fink said.
