California’s new U.S. senator is positioning herself to be a leader in the fight against Donald Trump on immigration.

Kamala Harris’ first public appearance as senator-elect this week was at the headquarters of an immigrants’ rights group in Los Angeles. Harris has followed the appearance up with a post on the website Medium saying she wanted “every immigrant family in this country  –  as well as the new Trump administration  – to know exactly where I stood on immigration reform.”

She hasn’t even been sworn in as senator, and I have seen touting her as potentially becoming the first woman president. Sheesh, and I thought they jumped the gun a bit on Barky.

Just enforcing e-verify and punishing violators rather than those who comply will get rid of a lot of illegals. No pay check and no EITC no rent money.

Harris has been a vocal proponent for gun control her entire career. While serving as District Attorney in Alameda County Harris recruited other District Attorneys and filed an amicus brief in District of Columbia v. Heller, arguing that the Second Amendment does not protect an individual’s right to own firearms

See, this is why its lunacy for Republicans to start extending the olive branch to the Democrats. Already, the Dems are fighting tooth and nail to get Republicans to compromise. Not to win, but to compromise. Which in turn demoralizes the people who voted for Trump.

I want the Left completely defunded and their policies repealed.

She did all you noted.

She apparently hired a lot of armed people as her AG police force to go out and investigate gun ownership legal and so called not illegal.

They were allowed to confiscate weapons at their will in homes and vehicles.

Amen! Harris will be one of the most hard core leftist in the senate. If, I had to choose, I would take Boxer...that is how bad Harris will be. Absolutely lawless.

In 2016, after hidden-camera videos were released alleging that Planned Parenthood illegally sold fetal tissue, Kamala Harris authorized the seizure of a pro-life activist’s laptop, ID cards, and some other property

I was thinking the same thing and because she is black they believe she would secure that vote just like O did and the women vote too.

I have a general rule of thumb when I go to vote. If I see an ethic-centric name or a hyphenated name on the ballot, I just skip over it. Works well for me.

Perhaps she should read Mexico’s immigration policy and consider doing the same. If you haven’t ever read it, read it at the link. It really is a MUST READ.

every time one of these libs says immigrants which is very different from those here illegally i want to puke. They know full well what the issue is but they refuse to acknowledge it because that would be admitting they’re wrong.
Follow their open borders policy and 80% of the world population will live here on aid and take us all into hell with them.

All she has to do is rewrite the INA, get it passed through both houses, and signed by President Trump.

Trump's biggest obstacles are illegal friendly republicans joinining democrats to limit funding to agencies that will enforce the law, and immigration courts.

The new Senator from CA has made it clear she sides with fraudulently documented foreigners against the citizens and the rule of law.
Well done California voters!

If the illegals get deported the Dems may lose CA.

Pray America wakes

He has to be prepared to fight the MSM headwind every day, every hour, on every issue.

Don't stop praying. May God protect and strengthen him.

Many Black men voted for Trump. Not Black women, who benefit massively from big government — who doesn’t have bitchy fat Black bureaucrats everywhere at their local DMV, tax office or municipal gov’t offices? But Black MEN are victimized by job losses and crime caused by illegal immigration. Trump needs to embrace them on this issue, even more than the fine job he did on the stump.

OMFG someone please tell me that this commie beyotch didn’t just get elected to the Senate. She’s as contemptible as Scott Harshbarger or the previous California attorney general whose name escapes me now. God help us.

“The goal is to flip the Congress to Democrat control.”

But that’s noting new, it’s what the do continually! That is why the country must see tangible results from the Trump Presidency, particularly with minorities. There will be nothing to “flip” if Trump is successful.

This is going to be fun, President Trump does not need CONgress to enforce EXISTING LAW, She is welcome to come along for the ride, but she has to ride in the back.

...saying she wanted “every immigrant family in this country  –  as well as the new Trump administration  – to know exactly where I stood on immigration reform.”

Noted - you stand on the wrong side and have less clout than the "woman" who was denied the Presidency because, in part, she felt the same way...
