Border Security
U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D–CT) claims that “Kamala Harris has always been for border security.”
IN FACT, Harris has undercut border security and incentivized illegal immigration in at least six ways:
- She issued a “directive to the sheriffs” of California “that they did not have to comply” with federal immigration detainers, making California a sanctuary state.
- She promised to decriminalize illegal border crossings.
- She promised taxpayer-funded healthcare to illegal immigrants.
- She declared, “I’m not going to vote for a wall under any circumstances,” even though walls are the most effective and least costly way to secure the border.
- She promised a “pathway to citizenship” for illegal immigrants.
- She told the American people, “The border is secure,” while objective measures of border insecurity — like gotaways, encounters, and border crossing deaths — showed the border being less secure than ever recorded.
