Vice President Kamala Harris is in hot water once again after an unearthed video went viral showing her true feelings about deporting illegal aliens.
Amid the ongoing border crisis caused by the Biden-Harris administration’s open border policies, Harris has suddenly shifted in her rhetoric about illegal immigration. Since beginning her presidential campaign, Harris has vowed to stop illegal immigration and even expressed support for a border wall — with Axios reporting: “If she’s elected president, Kamala Harris pledges to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on the wall along the southern border” despite previously opposing a border wall and deeming it “un-American.”

Meanwhile, critics say her sudden shift is just a ploy to trick voters, as Harris has a history as a radical pro-open borders politician.
THE LIE: Kamala has not changed on the border.
THE TRUTH: Kamala wrote a letter saying she would not build a border wall, now she wants one.
Here are the facts:

Her flip-flopping on the issue was made even more apparent earlier this week, as The Daily Mail’s Charlie Spiering exclusively obtained and reported on unearthed footage of Harris chanting in support of ending deportation.
The footage came from the 33rd annual Kingdom Day Parade in Los Angeles on January 15, 2018, where Harris was seen walking in the parade alongside disgraced actor Jussie Smollett.
Then-Sen. Harris (D-CA) was heard in the footage chanting alongside other parade-goers, repeating the line: “Up, up with education! Down, down with deportation!”
Spiering, author of the book “Amateur Hour: Kamala Harris in the White House,” shared the footage on his X account.

Social media users were quick to respond to the unearthed footage, with popular X account End Wokeness noting that it was proof that Harris is an “open borders extremist.”

Another popular X account, Libs of TikTok, argued that the clip “is the greatest Trump ad” and called on Republicans to “Play this on a loop in every city until November.”

One user responded to the video with a meme showing a voting booth alongside the U.S.-Mexico border, writing: “This is why she wants down with deportation.”

Under President Joe Biden and border czar Kamala Harris, deportations have been reduced to historically low levels while the number of illegal aliens encountered at the U.S.-Mexico border have skyrocketed. According to Breitbart News, “In Fiscal Year 2023, more than 3.2 million illegal aliens were encountered at the nation’s borders while just 142,580 illegal aliens were deported by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents over the same period. In practice, illegal aliens who arrived in the United States last fiscal year had a 4.4 percent chance of being deported within the year.”
