Kamala Harris’s political track record reads like a greatest hits album of far-left policies. As California’s Attorney General and later as a Senator, Harris supported policies that most Americans found, well, alarming. She’s pushed for Medicare for All, fought to decriminalize border crossings, and championed leniency on immigration enforcement.
And let’s not forget her work in San Francisco, where she implemented sanctuary city policies, a decision that only intensified the city’s issues with illegal immigration. This is the same Kamala Harris who, as Vice President, was dubbed “border czar” in 2021—tasked with solving the border crisis. How did that turn out? Not well.
Harris’ “root causes” approach to illegal immigration—focusing on poverty and violence in Central America—wasn’t exactly a smashing success. Critics argue that her policies actually encouraged more illegal crossings by signaling that the U.S. border was open for business.
The flood of migrants didn’t slow down, and the situation at the southern border worsened. The far-left cheered her on back then, but today, even liberal immigration groups are scratching their heads. Now, as Harris adopts a tougher stance on immigration, her left-wing allies are accusing her of selling out.
From Fox News:
Liberal immigration groups are criticizing Vice President Harris’ recent adoption of tougher border policies, but are still supporting her as at least one indicated they believe Harris’ new stance is all for show, Axios reported Wednesday.“We all know and trust Harris to make the right decisions when she’s in office. I don’t think this bill will ever come up again, as is,” Talbot told the outlet.
And that’s the latest twist in the Kamala Harris saga. Liberal immigration groups, once her biggest fans, are now crying foul over her new, tougher stance on border policy. Groups like the Immigration Hub are calling her proposals “essentially a Republican bill.”
Yes, you heard that right—Kamala Harris, the darling of the left, is now facing backlash for policies that her own allies believe are all for show. They think she’s just playing tough to win voters but won’t stick to these policies if elected. It’s a wild turn of events, but one thing’s clear: nobody really knows what Harris stands for anymore.
Even with all this criticism, these same groups are still backing her. Why? They believe she’ll revert to her left-wing ways once in office. Senator Alex Padilla of California even admitted that Kamala’s policies could make the border situation worse. But he still supports her, calling her the only candidate who cares about keeping families together.
So, it seems the left is in a bit of a bind—support Harris despite her shift, or risk losing the White House.
Meanwhile, Republicans aren’t buying Kamala’s tough talk. They’ve been blasting her record as “border czar,” saying she’s failed miserably in stemming the flow of illegal immigration. House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer is now demanding documents to reveal just how involved Harris has been in the ongoing border crisis.
According to Comer, the mass release of illegal immigrants under her watch has led to tragic consequences, including violent crimes committed by those who should have never been in the country in the first place.
As the southern border remains one of the top issues for voters, the question on everyone’s mind is: Can Harris really fix this mess? Voters certainly don’t think so. Polls consistently show that when it comes to handling immigration, they trust Trump far more than Harris.
While Harris’ left-wing allies hold their breath, Republicans are preparing for a showdown in November. Trump’s promise? He’ll fix the border crisis—this time, for good.
Key Takeaways:
- Kamala Harris, once a champion of far-left immigration policies, is now facing criticism from liberal immigration groups for her tougher stance on border issues, which they believe is just political posturing.
- Despite opposing her current immigration proposals, left-wing groups continue to support Harris, hoping she will revert to her previous policies if elected.
- Republicans, including House Oversight Chair James Comer, are scrutinizing Harris’ role in the border crisis, criticizing her failure as “border czar” and highlighting the ongoing border issues under her leadership.
