Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential campaign is refusing to discuss the details of the Democratic candidate's plan to grant amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants living in the United States.
For months, Harris has promised to offer amnesty to most of the 11 to 22 million illegal immigrants living in the United States.
In a speech at the Democratic National Convention last month, Harris said Americans should “live up to our proud traditions” and that illegal immigrants should be given a “path to citizenship”.
While seeking the Democratic presidential nomination in 2019, Harris outlined an amnesty plan that included executive action to help millions of undocumented immigrants obtain visas, green cards and ultimately US citizenship.
“As president, Harris will take executive action to keep immigrant families together and remove barriers that prevent Dreamers from accessing their path to U.S. citizenship,” she said in her 2019 presidential platform. read:
The plan would protect more than six million immigrants from deportation and is estimated to benefit the U.S. GDP by $445 billion over ten years. Providing a path to citizenship for 2.1 million American Dreamers If there is a basis for a congressionally established family- or employment-based adjustment of status. [Emphasis added]
Axios asked Harris' presidential campaign declined to comment on the pardon plan, while a spokesman declined to discuss details.
“When asked this week whether she would pursue similar executive action, her campaign declined to answer,” Axios' Alex Thompson and Stef Kite report.
“The Vice President has fought for Dreamers throughout her career and is proud of the steps taken under her and President Biden to expand protections for Dreamers, including the executive order he took this year that she supported,” spokesman Ian Sams said.
A recent New York Times/Siena College poll found that a majority of voters blame Harris for record levels of illegal immigration over the past three and a half years.
In April 2021, President Joe Biden asked Harris to lead his administration's efforts to “stop the flow of people and stem migration to our southern border,” leading many in the media and lawmakers to start calling Harris the “border czar.”
