Kamala Harris Campaign Refuses To Provide Stance On Migrant Flight Programs
The Kamala Harris campaign refused to answer whether she would continue flying migrants into the interior of the country via a controversial government program if she wins the presidential election in November.
The Harris campaign refused to answer whether or not the Democrat supported a migrant parole program that allowed hundreds of thousands of migrants into the United States when asked by Fox News reporter Bill Melugin, all while attempting to portray the Vice President as tough on the border.
“As a prosecutor for 20 years, Vice President Harris has spent her career putting criminals behind bars and upholding the rule of law,” the statement from a campaign spokeswoman said. “As Attorney General of California, Kamala Harris went after international drug gangs, human traffickers, and cartels.”
The statement went on to add that Harris supports a piece of border legislation that would end the use of the controversial Customs and Border Patrol One app, which allows migrants to remotely schedule asylum interview appointments from outside the United States. The legislation does not, however, address the migrant flight program, which has allowed hundreds of thousands of inadmissible aliens into the interior of the United States.
The controversial program has allowed nearly 530,000 migrants to fly directly into the United States and receive a two-year parole allowing them to live and work in the country.
The Harris campaign’s statement is the latest way in which the Democrat has attempted to portray herself as tough on the border despite the Biden-Harris administration presiding over an unprecedented surge in illegal immigration.
More than 10 million people have crossed the border under the Biden-Harris administration, with an estimated 1.7 million illegal immigrant gotaways recorded since Biden was inaugurated in 2021.
The Harris campaign has, however, consistently attempted to sanitizeHarris’ border record, even running an advertisement that includes an aerial shot of President Trump’s border wall.
Members of the media have also attempted to downplay Harris’ role in the border crisis despite President Biden tasking her with stemming the flow of migration to the southern border.
