(The Guardian) Harris condemns Trump over plans for mass deportations
Kamala Harris has shifted to immigration, hitting out at Donald Trump for his promise to carry out mass deportations if elected, while insisting that border security and sorting out the status of undocumented people brought to the country as children are not mutually exclusive.
“While we fight to move our nation forward to a brighter future, Donald Trump and his extremist allies will keep trying to pull us backward,” Harris said. “We all remember what they did to tear families apart, and now they have pledged to carry out the largest deportation, a mass deportation, in American history. Imagine what that would look like and what that would be. How’s that going to happen? Massive raids, massive detention camps. What are they talking about?”
Harris also mentioned Dreamers, as undocumented people who grew up in the United States are known, and improving border security, which an increasing number of Democrats are demanding: We must also reform our broken immigration system and protect our Dreamers. And, understand, we can do both – create an earned pathway to citizenship and ensure our border is secure. We can do both, and we must do both.
