Vice President Kamala Harris has confirmed that she would support mass amnesty of illegal immigrants if elected as president in the upcoming election.
In an interview with Julio Vaqueiro of Noticias Telemundo on Oct. 22, Harris shared her views on immigration reform and her stance on deportations. During the interview, Vaqueiro claimed there is a lack of discussion on pathways to citizenship and immigration relief. He added that Democrats do not talk about the benefits that migrants are bringing into the country.
Harris said she would talk about it. “I am… I am talking,” Harris told Vaqueiro. She then provided a garbled vision of her immigration policy. “America is a country that was built in part by immigrants.” When Vaqueiro asked her about people who are “talking about mass deportations,” Harris said, “I’m not.” (Related: Kamala Harris promises to keep giving green cards to Afghan refugees despite terrorism concerns.)
In other words, she will not implement mass deportations if elected. Instead, she intends to secure a “pathway to citizenship” for millions of illegal immigrants in the U.S. through mass amnesty.
“We need smart, humane immigration policy in America that includes a pathway to citizenship, putting more resources at the border in terms of security, honoring America’s history as a country of immigrants, not vilifying people who are fleeing harm, but instead, creating an orderly system for them to actually be able to make their case. That’s where I stand. I stand on the principle that we should not be talking about immigrants as ‘poisoning the blood of America,'” Harris said.
During the interview, Harris also tried to downplay the declining advantage of the Democratic Party among Latino voters, especially among Latino male voters.
“But this is not my experience,” Harris answered when Vaqueiro pressed her on the reason Trump is gaining votes among this demographic. “My experience is I talk with Latino voters every day, all the time and there is an incredible amount of support there because Latino voters understand that they want a president of the United States who treats all people with dignity, with respect and invests in their dreams for themselves and their family.”
“Donald Trump, what did we get from him as president? Family separation policies, deriding and speaking ill of people of certain backgrounds,” she added.
However, Vaqueiro went further and asked Harris why despite Trump’s claims about immigrants “poisoning the blood of the country, that they eat pets, that there’s an invasion going on,” he still managed to secure 40 percent of support from Latinos. “Is that to his credit, his ability to win votes? Or is that more about Democrats failing to connect with Latinos?” Vaqueiro asked.
Harris just shrugged off the question. “We are two weeks away from the election. My job is to earn the vote of every voter. And I am working to do just that by explaining where I come from and how I intend to lead. I come from a hardworking background. My mother arrived in the United States when she was 19 by herself and I now sit here, one generation later, as vice president of the United States,” she said.
