By Jessica M. Vaughan, July 25, 2024

Commentary
Of Course Harris Was the Border Czar ([link removed])
By Mark Krikorian
National Review, July 24, 2024
Excerpt: But “Kamala Harris, Border Czar” is itself shorthand for the larger issue: The presumptive Democratic nominee for president is an immigration extremist. She’s in favor of taxpayer-funded health care for illegal aliens; closing all contract detention centers for illegals awaiting deportation; decriminalizing illegal infiltration across the border; abolishing ICE (“starting from scratch”), which she likened to the Klan; granting law licenses to illegal aliens; and more.

While Illegal Aliens Kill and Rape, Bogus Crime Comparisons Still Blunt Solutions ([link removed])

As a Senator, Kamala Harris Tried to Take $220 Million Out of ICE’s Enforcement Division ([link removed])
By Jon Feere
Excerpt: In the middle of the Trump administration’s effort to ramp up deportations of criminal illegal aliens in 2019, then-Senator Kamala Harris introduced a bill that would have taken $220 million out of the Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) division of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which is responsible for arrests and deportations of illegal aliens. The goal of the bill (S.388 in the 116th Congress) was to frustrate ICE’s public safety mission and allow for criminal aliens to remain in the United States.
