Harris and Dem support of illegal immigration

 The Federalist Wire:

...

A plan heavily advocated by Vice President Kamala Harris during her presidential campaign could bring a significant influx of migrants to American cities and towns via the Diversity Visa Lottery, an immigration program notorious for allowing a convicted Islamic State (ISIS) terrorist entry into the U.S.

In an exclusive interview with Fox News Channel’s Special Report, Harris spoke positively about the U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021.

As reported by Breitbart News, this legislation not only promises broad amnesty for millions of illegal aliens but also guarantees a streamlined path to American citizenship for them.

However, a critical part of the bill is its expansion of the widely criticized Diversity Visa Lottery. Polls from 2018 revealed that nearly 60% of likely voters wanted the program to be abolished.

The Diversity Visa Lottery, introduced through the Immigration Act of 1990 by then-Senator Ted Kennedy and signed by President George H.W. Bush, randomly awards approximately 55,000 visas annually.

These visas are distributed to nationals from various countries, including those known for harboring terrorism threats such as Afghanistan, Libya, and Yemen.

Under the Harris-backed legislation, the number of visas awarded annually through this system would increase by 25,000, potentially adding close to a million new legal immigrants to the U.S. every decade.

Immigration should be limited to those who would benefit the US and its economy and not just anyone who shows up looking to get in.It should not be a DEI-run program.  The US already is a diverse society.  What the US should look for are people with merit who will make the country stronger and more productive.

 On Sept. 25, the department replied: “As of July 21, 2024, there were 662,566 noncitizens with criminal histories on ICE’s national docket, which includes those detained by ICE, and on the agency’s non-detained docket.” This includes 435,719 “convicted criminals” and 226,847 with “pending criminal charges.” Of the 662,566 illegal immigrants with criminal records, approximately 647,000 weren’t detained. This number doesn’t include those who evaded ICE’s eye.

This is more evidence of how irresponsible the Biden-Harris administration is with its open-borders policy.
