Bill Melugin just posted that Kamala’s campaign has ‘confirmed’ to Fox News that the candidate has reversed several of her long-held positions on immigration, claiming that she’s changed her positions because of her time in the White House as vice president.
Here’s what Melugin had to say:
NEW: The Harris campaign confirms to @FoxNews that Harris has reversed several of her prior positions on immigration, including decriminalizing illegal crossings, a pledge to close ICE detention centers, and the idea that ICE should be abolished or “started from scratch”.Re: decriminalizing illegal crossings: A Harris campaign official tells FOX VP Harris’ position is that “unauthorized border crossings are illegal.”
Re: Abolishing or starting ICE from scratch: A Harris campaign official tells FOX her position aligns with the Biden administration’s and what’s in the bipartisan border bill, including increased funding for ICE & border security.
Re: Closing ICE detention centers: A Harris campaign official tells FOX Harris’ position is the same as the Biden admin’s, which is:
“…continuing to ensure sufficient resources to enforce our laws and prioritize detention and removal for individuals who pose threats to public safety and national security, as well as ensure compliance with immigration proceedings and decisions, including removal.”
The Harris campaign tells FOX Harris’ positions changed as a result of her time in the White House as Vice President.
Harris campaign spokesperson Mia Ehrenberg tells FOX:
“While Donald Trump is wedded to the extreme ideas in his Project 2025 agenda, Vice President Harris believes real leadership means bringing all sides together to build consensus. It is that approach that made it possible for the Biden-Harris administration to achieve bipartisan breakthroughs on everything from infrastructure to gun violence prevention. As President, she will take that same pragmatic approach, focusing on common-sense solutions for the sake of progress.”
Harris campaign spokesman Kevin Munoz also provided FOX the following statement regarding immigration policy:
“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 bipartisan border security deal because for Donald Trump, this has never been about solutions just running on a problem. Like everything with Donald Trump, it’s never been about helping the country, it’s only about helping himself. There’s only one candidate in this race who will fight for bipartisan solutions to strengthen border security, and that’s Vice President Harris.”
The Trump campaign has responded, saying she hasn’t changed anything and these are all lies:
More lies from anonymous campaign staffers. Kamala is ON TAPE spanning a decade spewing her dangerously liberal positions on every one of these issues.She’s not changing — she’s just lying.
I absolutely agree with this, although I’m not sure these were anonymous Kamala staffers since they quoted two spokespersons from her campaign.
There’s no way she’s reversed any of these positions. She’s just saying it to try and win the election. After that, it’ll be worse than the Biden admin.
And by the way, note that her campaign says her position is that “unauthorized border crossings are illegal.” Are they unauthorized until she authorizes it? Because that’s exactly what she and Biden have done for the last three years and a half, allowing illegals to cross the border en masse just to let them into the country with a taxpayer paid-for phone and debit card full of taxpayer money.
This is nothing more than a mealy mouth statement to try and disarm Trump before the big debate.
