Pro-immigration activists are reportedly delighted that the mainstream media is portraying Kamala Harris’ radical immigration policies as if she is in fact a moderate.
“We know that we can’t pass comprehensive immigration reform unless immigration is taken off the agenda — unless it’s used as a political piñata by Republicans,” said Domingo Garcia, president of the League of Latin American Citizens PAC. POLITICOOnce the election is over, Garcia said, “we should pass immigration reform.” [for amnesty and more migration] “We will pass a voting rights bill within our first 100 days and take these issues off the agenda in future elections.”
“We know from her past actions that her policies will probably align with those of UnidosUS, so she doesn’t really need to seek public support,” said Carmen Feliciano, advocacy director for UnidosUS, an immigrant advocacy group formerly known as LaRaza.
“This is not something Kamala Harris should have to explain,” said Angelica Salas, president of CHIRLA, a California-based immigration advocacy group.
“Now is not the time for defense, it’s the time to win elections,” said progressive said NBC News on Aug. 18. “Advocacy Moves to Nov. 6.”
Democratic Party Description The image of Harris as a moderate has been perpetuated by major media outlets.
“Progressives focus on Harris’ pragmatic goals for president,” NBC News reported on August 18.
“The overall messaging on immigration from Democrats over the past week has been the toughest in decades,” he said on August 25. Report from The New York Times.
“Harris campaign takes tough stance on border security,” read an Aug. 14 newspaper headline. Report From Roll Call, owned by investor-backed international company Fiscal Note.
Given the public’s opposition (especially in battleground states) to immigration policies aimed at transferring federal wealth, this change in public policy is deceptive but rational. For example, an August 2 report found that 83% of Republicans and 45% of battleground state voters view immigrants as a “serious” threat.
Harris’ support for increased immigration and the huge economic damage it would cause to rank-and-file voters threatens her support among key swing voters. “With less than 80 days to go, Harris… Keep the volume up He should rely on populist economic policies that advocate cutting costs and fighting for the working class,” said the polling report, released Aug. 22 by the progressive firm. Data for progress.

“There’s a ton of data that shows Latinos are different from Democrats,” said Mike Madrid, a Republican consultant who specializes in the Latino vote. “They’re where Joe Biden turned around and where Kamala Harris started to make a push. They’re there. So [Democrats] That has changed.”

But pro-immigration groups continue to push their extreme policies, even as they adopt new euphemisms for amnesty and further mass immigration.
The old euphemism “nation of immigrants,” for example, has been supplemented with “path to citizenship” and a “dysfunctional immigration system.” At the convention, speakers touted “the strongest border bill in decades” as the latest euphemism for increasing immigration.
For example, Harris declared in her convention speech:
Here is my pledge as President: I will build a bipartisan [February] I will sign into law the border security bill he killed. I am confident that we can reform our broken immigration system while living up to our proud tradition as a nation of immigrants. We can create a pathway to citizenship. [amnesty] And protect our borders.
In reality, the February bill was carefully crafted by Democrats to exploit hidden loopholes in border law to maximize new immigration.
Similarly, former President Barack Obama hid his demands for increased immigration under the vague goal of “diversity.”
“No nation or society has ever tried to build a democracy as large and diverse as ours – one that brings together people from every part of the world – over decades. And the world is watching to see if we can actually do it,” President Obama declared.
Other speakers at the convention made immigration a priority far above the concerns of ordinary Americans, stifling business demands for more foreign workers, consumers and renters.
Harris’ campaign ads even featured the border wall, which she strongly opposes.
