‘New Way Forward’ – Kamala’s Plans to Defund ICE, Hand Citizenship to 11 Million+ Illegals.

During her run for the Democratic Party’s 2020 nomination, Kamala Harris told the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) that she is committed to many far-left policies. In addition to supporting taxpayer-funded transgender surgeries for illegal aliens in prison, raised by Donald Trump during the recent presidential debate, she also backed massive cutbacks to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) funding, an end to ICE detainers, and citizenship for 11 million illegals.

“Throughout my career, I have made it clear that law enforcement should use their time and resources to keep communities safe, not act as federal immigration agents,” she wrote on an ACLU questionnaire, which asked if she would “commit to ending the use of ICE detainers,” in 2019.

She boasted that, as California‘s Attorney General, she “issued a bulletin on December 4, 2012, informing all California law enforcement that they did not have to comply with ICE detainers”—a sanctuary measure that results in foreign criminal suspects and convicts wanted by ICE being released among the public after leaving jail or prison, instead of being handed over for deportation.

Harris further committed to making ICE “end the use of detainers” generally as President.

DEFUNDING ICE.

In addition to removing ICE’s detainer powers, Harris told the ACLU she would starve the agency of resources, boasting: “I was one of the first Senators after President Trump was elected to advocate for a decrease in funding to ICE.”

Referring to legislation she introduced to Congress as a Senator, she added, “As President, I will fight to pass my DONE (Detention Oversight Not Expansion) Act into law which would increase oversight of Immigration and Customs
Enforcement detention facilities, slash detention by at least 50 percent, and halt funding for the construction or expansion of new facilities.”

She also said she would “close private immigration detention centers” and “fight to pass immigration reform with a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million plus” illegal aliens “living in our communities and contributing to our economy.”

She reiterated this promise in several places throughout the questionnaire, stressing: “I will prioritize immigration reform with a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million plus” illegal aliens in America.

Other policy commitments included making Washington, D.C., a state, using presidential pardon and clemency powers to free drug convicts, and giving the vote to convicted felons: “Restoring voting rights for every American who has completed their prison sentence will be my priority as President,” she wrote.

Ten Members of Migrant Crime Gang Arrested Following Apartment Takeovers.

Officials in Aurora, Colorado, say local law enforcement arrested ten members of the Tren de Aragua gang on Wednesday. The violent criminal organization—originating in Venezuela’s prison system—is comprised primarily of illegal immigrants who have entered the United States during the Biden-Harris government.

The arrests follow recent viral surveillance footage showing armed individuals, purported to be members of the gang, taking over an apartment complex in the city. Additionally, residents in the building say the gang has forcibly collected rents and taken over empty apartments.

Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman and Council Member Danielle Jurinsky, supported by the city manager and Aurora Police Department (APD), disclosed that the APD has arrested several individuals involved in various criminal activities suspected to be linked to Tren de Aragua even before it garnered national attention. To date, eight of the ten detainees have been confirmed as gang members, with two involved in a July shooting at a specific property plagued by gang activity.

The APD indicated that the gang has been committing violent acts. Charges leveled against the detainees range from illegal firearm discharge to child abuse and attempted first-degree murder. Arrest warrants date back to November 2023, involving an assault at Whispering Pines apartments.

A joint task force of local, state, and federal law enforcement has been instituted to combat Tren de Aragua‘s activities. This collaboration extends to Arapahoe County and Denver.

When allegations regarding the Venezuelan illegal immigrant gang’s activity in Aurora first surfaced, Governor Jared Polis (D-CO) dismissed the claims, calling remarks by some local officials “cynical.”

The Latest on the SAVE Act and the Spending Bill Showdown.

House Republicans are gearing up for a showdown over government funding, with the conservative-backed SAVE Act at the center of the storm.

What is the SAVE Act? It would require proof of citizenship to register for federal elections. The House passed the bill in June, but it was never brought to a vote by the Democrat-controlled Senate.

The conflict: Republicans, including Speaker Mike Johnson and Donald Trump, want to tie the SAVE Act to the upcoming short-term funding package. The deadline to pass the package and avoid a government shutdown is September 30. The bill is overwhelmingly popular with Republicans, but some are concerned about the political fallout that could come from a shutdown just weeks before the election.

  • For it: Trump recently wrote on Truth Social: “DEMOCRATS ARE TRYING TO ‘STUFF’ VOTER REGISTRATIONS WITH ILLEGAL ALIENS. DON’T LET IT HAPPEN – CLOSE IT DOWN!!!”
  • Against it: Republicans in vulnerable House seats like Rep. Nick LaLota in New York said: “Allowing a shutdown means we could lose the House majority.”
  • It’s worth noting that some Republicans are against it, not because of the SAVE Act, but because they don’t want to pass a “continuing resolution” spending bill that continues funding the government at current reckless levels.

Big picture: Last month, we reported that Texas found over 6,000 illegal aliens on its voter rolls. Similarly, Virginia also found over 6,000 illegals on their voter rolls. The margins of the upcoming presidential election will be slim. A few thousand illegals voting could be the deciding factor in key swing states.

What happens next? The combo spending bill + SAVE Act was supposed to go to a vote yesterday, but Speaker Johnson pulled it because he did not have enough Republicans’ support.

Time Magazine Forced Into HUMILIATING Climbdown Over Kamala Harris.

TIME magazine has had to issue a humiliating correction after asserting that Kamala Harris does not support taxpayer-funded gender transition surgeries for illegal alien prisoners. In its initial coverage of Harris’s debate with Donald Trump on ABC News, the magazine had asserted that Trump “falsely claimed that Harris “wants to do transgender operations on illegal aliens in prison.'”

Trump’s claim was not false. In 2019, Harris really did tell the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) that she would use “executive authority to ensure that transgender and non-binary people who rely on the state for medical care—including those in prison and immigration detention—will have access to comprehensive treatment associated with gender transition, including all necessary surgical care.”

“It is important that transgender individuals who rely on the state for care receive the treatment they need, which includes access to treatment associated with gender transition,” Harris explained. “That’s why, as [California’s] Attorney General, I pushed the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to provide gender transition surgery to state inmates.”

Harris also told the ACLU she supports decriminalizing illegal drug abuse and huge cuts to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) funding and operations, including an “end” to all immigration detention.

“The original version of this story mischaracterized as false Donald Trump’s statement accusing Kamala Harris of supporting ‘transgender operations on illegal aliens in prison,'” TIME wrote in its correction.

“As a presidential candidate in 2019, Harris filled out a questionnaire saying she supported taxpayer-funded gender transition treatment for detained immigrants,” the magazine admitted.

Border Crisis Arrives in Small Town Ohio.

The border crisis has come to a small town in Ohio, as locals express concern over the influx of Haitian illegal aliens that have brought crime, a drain on resources, and even reports of pets and other animals being killed and eaten.

The details: Springfield, Ohio, a city of 58,000 people, has seen the arrival of approximately 20,000 Haitians—an influx of roughly one-third of the entire population.

  • The illegals have arrived through Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’s legally questionable asylum programs.
  • Making matters worse, Biden and Harris granted temporary legal status to 300,000 Haitians through 2026.

What the locals are saying: Resident Anthony Harris called out the city’s inaction, stating, “These Haitians are running into trash cans, running into buildings, flipping cars in the street. How are y’all comfortable with this?”

  • Lisa Hayes recounted being bullied by illegals at a supermarket, blocking her car and refusing to let her exit.
  • A resident only identified as ‘Noel’ expressed fear over illegals camping outside her home: “They’re screaming at me, throwing mattresses in my front yard, throwing trash in my front yard… I want out of this town. Please give me a reason to stay.”

Drain on services: The influx has cost the city hundreds of thousands of dollars for services like translators, and the residents are seeing increased wait times at hospitals, schools are over capacity, and illegals being given tax-dollar assistance for rent are pricing out legal residents.

Boy killed: Last year, an illegal alien in Springfield drove into oncoming traffic, crashing into a school bus, killing an 11-year-old boy and injuring 20 more children.

Killing pets and local animals? Rumors spread online that the Haitian migrants have been seen killing and eating ducks and geese. And some reports claim they have also stolen pet cats and eaten them.

  • One resident speaking at the city council meeting cited earlier said the illegals are “stealing animals from farmers and leaving their severed heads at the site of an old school where children play. Relieving themselves in public. Making some barbaric stew out of the birds that live in our park. This is insanity. And it has to stop.”

ICE Arrests Record Number of Migrant Sex Criminals in Dem Sanctuary.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Baltimore, Maryland, has detained a record 153 noncitizen sex offenders this fiscal year. The most recent arrest in the Democrat-run migrant sanctuary involves a Honduran national who was previously deported from the United States after being convicted of rape.

According to an ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) team, Madai Gamaliel Amaya was apprehended on August 29 in Montgomery Village, a suburb of Baltimore. “This is a landmark arrest for ERO Baltimore, in that they secured a record 153 noncitizen sex offenders arrested in their area of operations during a single fiscal year, but more importantly, there are 153 victims who need not fear their predators because of ERO officers,” commented ERO Executive Associate Director Daniel Bible.

Amaya’s history with U.S. law enforcement dates back to January 8, 2009, when he was arrested by Montgomery County police and charged with second-degree rape. He was convicted and sentenced to ten years in prison with three years of supervised probation. A judge later suspended two years and six months of his prison term, and he was deported in 2013.

Amaya was apprehended by U.S. Border Patrol agents near Hidalgo, Texas, trying to re-enter the United States unlawfully, and deported in 2018 after a stint in federal prison. Nevertheless, he again re-entered the U.S. at a later date.

BACKDROP.

Alien criminals like Amaya are attracted to states like Maryland and communities like Baltimore and Baltimore County by broad sanctuary laws passed by Democratic politicians at the state and local level, limiting cooperation with federal deportation authorities.

Migrants charged or even convicted of crimes across the U.S. are frequently let loose among the American public as a result of Democrat sanctuary laws, with local police, jails, and prisons ignoring ICE detainer requests.

Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, charged with tackling the “root causes” of illegal immigration by Joe Biden in 2021, has strongly supported decriminalizing illegal border crossings, and continues to advocate for a “pathway to citizenship” for illegal aliens.

As an ultra-liberal U.S. Senator, Harris compared ICE to the KKK. Her running mate Tim Walz has compared ICE’s work to “terrorism.”

Hungary Moves Forward With Threat to Bus Migrants to EU Capital.

Hungary is moving forward on handing one-way tickets to the European Union (EU) capital of Brussels, Belgium, to migrants. This is in response to the EU imposing a 200 million euro (~$220 million) fine on the Central European country for stopping would-be illegal immigrants at its border.

Bence Retvari, the Secretary of State in the Hungarian Ministry of Interior, announced at a press conference over the weekend that if the EU tries to force Hungary to accept illegal immigrants, then those migrants will be given one-way bus tickets directly to Brussels:

The European Court of Justice (ECJ) is demanding Hungary change its asylum laws, which require would-be migrants to apply for asylum at Hungarian embassies. Migrants who show up at the border unannounced are mostly turned away instead of being allowed to enter the country and remain at large while their claims are processed.

In addition to the 200 million euro fine, the EU is trying to force Hungary to pay an additional one million euros every day it remains non-compliant. Prime Minister Viktor Orbán expressed his opposition to the ruling earlier this year, calling it “outrageous and unacceptable.”

Orbán and his government currently hold the rotating presidency of the Council of the European Union. Despite this, the EU is intensifying its adversarial approach Orbán’s anti-mass migration government.

Kamala Wanted YOU to Fund Illegal Migrant Gender Surgeries.

Kamala Harris states on a 2019 American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) candidate questionnaire that she supports taxpayer-funded gender transition surgeries for illegal immigrants held in detainment facilities and other federal prisoners. In addition, the 2024 Democratic Party’s presidential nominee said she supports radical cuts to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) funding as well as severely restricting the agency’s ability to operate and detain illegal immigrants.

“Our immigrant detention system is out of control, and I believe we must end the unfair incarceration of thousands of individuals, families and children,” Harris wrote responding to the questionnaire. She added: “I was one of the first Senators after President Trump was elected to advocate for a decrease in funding to ICE.”

On the campaign trail, Harris has attempted to dodge her prior radical positions, claiming she’s evolved but offering no further explanation. Among the other far-left policies endorsed by Harris in the ALCU questionnaire include support for the federal decriminalization of drugs. Oregon recently reversed its drug decriminalization law after the policy wreaked havoc on the state. Additionally, Harris signed on to the organization’s broad pledge, committing candidates to end the detention of illegal immigrants.

Despite claiming to have ‘evolved’ politically since the 2020 Democratic presidential primary, Harris stressed during her only interview since becoming the party’s 2024 nominee that her “values have not changed.” Kamal Harris’s tenure in the U.S. Senate and her ‘over-before-it-began’ 2020 primary campaign is rife with moments where the California Democrat has peddled left-wing talking points to gain favor with progressive voters.

The National Pulse previously reported that Harris likened ICE to the KKK during the 2018 Senate hearing. Meanwhile, during the 2020 primary, Harris called former President Donald J. Trump’s border wall a “vanity project.”

DOJ Admits Illegal Alien Voted in ‘Multiple Elections.’

The Biden-Harris Department of Justice (DOJ) has admitted an illegal alien fraudulently assumed an American citizen’s identity and used it to “vote in multiple elections and obtain multiple United States passports.” Angelica Maria Francisco, described as an “undocumented individual” by the DOJ, faces charges of “false claims of citizenship in connection with voting, false statements in application for a United States passport, use of a United States passport obtained by false statements, and aggravated identity theft.”

Originally from Guatemala, Francisco has reached a plea agreement with prosecutors and is expected to plead guilty at a to-be-scheduled court appearance. She is known to have registered to vote in Alabama in 2016 and to have voted in the 2016 and 2020 primary and general elections—but the DOJ did not disclose who she voted for.

Data analysis suggests a statistically significant number of noncitizens vote in U.S. elections despite being legally barred from doing so. Overwhelmingly, they vote for Democrats.

House Republican lawmakers have put forward a Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act requiring proof of citizenship when people register to vote so the U.S. citizenship requirements for voting can be effectively enforced. However, Senate Democrats and the Democrat-controlled White House oppose the reforms.

An outright majority of Americans believe the Biden-Harris government has allowed illegal immigration to reach unprecedented levels in the hope that it will create a “permanent majority” for the Democrats over time.

New Amnesty Plan for 500K Illegals.

As Europe continues to see illegal migrant arrivals in the thousands per month, the deputy leader of a country at the forefront of the migration crisis has called for half a million illegals to be granted amnesty and residency.

Spanish Deputy Prime Minister Yolanda Diaz has demanded that 500,000 illegal immigrants be granted the ability to stay in her country, saying that there is a need to regularize illegal migrant workers, arguing that they currently do not have proper labor rights.

Diaz, who also serves as Minister of Labor under leftist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, has called for immediate action.

The comments are largely in support of a citizens’ legislative initiative that calls on the government to grant amnesty to illegals who lived in Spain prior to November 1, 2021. The initiative garnered 700,000 signatures and the support of 900 NGOs.

Amnesty for illegal workers has broad support within the Spanish parliament, with only the populist party VOX stating opposition to it, as the party argues that it will only attract more people to Spain illegally.

Earlier this year, the party argued that Spain must not become like the UK, France, or Belgium, which is described as a failure of multiculturalism.

The amnesty would also come as Spain is seeing a massive surge in illegal migrant arrivals this year, up 143 percent in the Spanish African enclave Ceuta and 126 percent in the Spanish Canary Islands that lie off the West African coast.

The Canary Islands recorded 22,304 irregular arrivals from January to mid-August, as migrants are increasingly favoring the route to Spain over the central Mediterranean route to Italy this year.
