Kamala Harris’ campaign continues to downplay her history of radicalism to sell her to swing voters and isn’t answering whether she plans to honor a pledge to offer citizenship to “Dreamers” if she’s elected.
During her last presidential campaign in 2019, the Democrat nominee promised that she’d take executive action as president to create a pathway to citizenship for 2 million people brought into the country illegally as children and to protect millions more from deportation, a pledge that has resurfaced with illegal immigration being a top issue for voters in November.
“Every day in the life of a Dreamer who fears deportation is a long day,” Harris said in 2019. “Dreamers cannot afford to sit around and wait for Congress to get its act together. Their lives are on the line.”

In 2019, Harris pledged a series of executive actions to unilaterally give 2 million “Dreamers” a path to citizenship through parole-in-place.
We asked if she still supported those actions.
Her campaign declined to say either wayhttps://t.co/3Z2F074n7p

When Axios reached out to inquire whether Harris would still use executive orders to make it easier for the “Dreamers” to get citizenship, her team was evasive, declining to give a straight answer.
“The vice president has fought for Dreamers throughout her career and is proud of the actions taken under her and President Biden to expand protections for them, including the executive action President Biden took this year, which she supported,” Harris spokesperson Ian Sams told the outlet.
Axios reporters Alex Thompson and Stef Kight requested a “brief interview” with the vice president, but her team refused to make her available.
The campaign also wouldn’t comment on whether Harris would use “parole in place” to provide illegals married to U.S. citizens a pathway to citizenship if they’ve been in America for ten years. The controversial process is currently being challenged in court.
“As president, she’ll continue to protect Dreamers while also pushing the bipartisan border deal that will dramatically strengthen border security,” Sams told the outlet, keeping it vanilla and vague.
The non-answer is significant because of the need to repackage the far-left California chameleon to appeal to the same type of low-information voters who swallowed the malarkey that Joe Biden was a “moderate” in 2020.
Harris’ radicalism has been disguised by her handlers and a complicit media, especially when it comes to illegal immigration with the “border czar” being falsely advertised to the electorate as being tougher on border security than former President Donald J. Trump.
But her past remarks and positions have the potential to come back to haunt her in the waning weeks before the most consequential election in the nation’s history.
For example, a resurfaced video of Harris at a 2018 parade in Los Angeles chanting “down, down with deportation” is likely a much more accurate depiction of her views on illegal immigration, consistent with the open borders policy of her administration which has presided over an illegal alien invasion of the country.

“The story of Dreamers is a story of America. Dreamers across our Nation serve in our military, teach in our classrooms, and lead our small businesses as entrepreneurs. They are our neighbors, classmates, and loved ones. Their ambition and aspiration power our communities, economy, and country – and they deserve our protection,” Harris said in a June statement marking the 12th anniversary of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), a policy put into place by Barack Obama.
