Video footage has been uncovered that shows failed presidential candidate Kamala Harries criticizing Americans for saying “Merry Christmas” until there was permanent status for illegal immigrants. At the time, she was attacking Trump over protections for illegals who entered the nation as minors. Kamala Harris served as Biden’s ‘Border Tzar‘ and lost to Trump decisively in 2024.
During a press conference in 2017, Kamala Harris added her support for the Dream Act. This piece of legislation sought to establish a pathway to citizenship for some migrants who entered the country illegally as children. The future Vice President argued that should not celebrate Christmas, knowing that some of these individuals could lose their status and be deported.
“And only when they cleared that vet did we give them DACA status, and now we’re talking about taking it away,” Harris blustered. “It is morally wrong. And when we all sing happy tunes and sing Merry Christmas and wish each other Merry Christmas. These children are not going to have a Merry Christmas. How dare we speak Merry Christmas.”
While further bullying Americans for saying “Merry Christmas,” she began citing statistics on who is supposedly losing their DACA status. “How dare we they will not have a Merry Christmas. They don’t know if they will be here in a matter of days, weeks, and months since September 5, over 12,000 have lost their status. Each day, and 122, lose their status. Each week, 851, lose their status. Each day matters,” she kept going.
During Harris’s failed presidential bid, conservatives criticized Harris on the southern border, calling out the record under the Biden-Harris administration and focusing on her statements before stepping into the White House. Former President Donald Trump slammed Kamala Harris for the millions of illegal immigrants who have poured over the southern border.
“Kamala Harris was appointed border czar, as you know, in March 2021, and since that time, millions and millions of illegal aliens have invaded our country, and countless Americans have been killed by migrant crime because of her willful demolition of American borders and laws,” Trump said. Immigration was the defining issue of the 2024 election and is seen as the defining issue for Trump’s second term.
During the election the failed Harris’ campaign addressed the conservative talking points about the border, shifting the conversation to Trump. Campaign officials on behalf of Harris touted liberal rhetoric that Trump is “xenophobic” and intends to take “mothers from their children.” While accusing the former president of lying, a spokesperson claimed that Trump’s intentions aren’t actually about securing the southern border but rather about his ambitions.
Watch the clip of Harris talking about DACA below:
“The only ‘plan’ Donald Trump has to secure our border is ripping mothers from their children and a few xenophobic placards at the Republican National Convention. He tanked the toughest bipartisan border security deal in a generation because, for Donald Trump, this has never been about actually securing the border — it’s always about himself. He can make up whatever lies he wants, but the fact is there’s only one candidate in this race who will fight for real solutions to help secure our nation’s border, and that’s Vice President Harris,” said a spokesman for the Harris Campaign.
