Footage from the Kamala Camp Surfaces Online

Recently uncovered video footage has put Vice President Kamala Harris in the hot seat regarding her immigration stance. Back in 2018, at a parade in Los Angeles, she was seen chanting, “Up, up with education. Down, down with deportation.” This moment highlights her drastic change in tone since she became the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee.

The Kingdom Day Parade: A Political Stage

This chant occurred during the Kingdom Day Parade, an event honoring Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy. Harris was the “grand marshal” of this parade, which confirms when and where this video was taken. During the event, she took a jab at then-President Donald Trump by saying, “And in the midst of time where there are supposed-leaders who are sowing hate and division, it is really important to remember we, as a country, are so much better than that.” Clearly, she used this occasion to criticize Trump’s immigration policies.

Shifting Stances on Immigration

Fast forward to her campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020. When asked if they supported decriminalizing illegal border crossings, Harris raised her hand along with many other candidates. This position sharply contrasts with her earlier participation in chants against deportation back in 2018. Her views on the border wall have also changed dramatically; she once called it “un-American” and a “stupid waste of money,” but now she supports more Border Patrol agents and tries to portray herself as tough on crime.

A Flip-Flop on Key Issues

Harris’ inconsistencies don’t end there. In 2019, she voiced support for taxpayer-funded gender reassignment surgeries for illegal immigrants held in ICE detention centers. However, since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee, she has adopted a tougher stance on immigration—now advocating for consequences for those who cross the border illegally. This shift seems more about political expediency than genuine values.

Political Gain Over Principles

It’s no surprise that Harris has altered her immigration rhetoric now that she’s a leading candidate for president. This behavior aligns with her past as a prosecutor in California, where she opposed certain immigration policies while prosecuting undocumented immigrants. Her recent flip-flops reveal a willingness to sacrifice her principles for political gain.

Trump’s Consistent Immigration Policies

In contrast to Harris’ changing positions, former President Donald Trump has remained steadfast in his beliefs about immigration. He has consistently advocated for secure borders and stricter enforcement measures while promoting a merit-based system for legal immigration. His commitment to building a border wall and ending chain migration and the diversity visa lottery program demonstrates his unwavering dedication to protecting American citizens.

The Trust Factor: Who Can You Rely On?

The actions and statements made by Harris during that 2018 Kingdom Day Parade—and her subsequent shifts on immigration—underscore why many view her as untrustworthy when it comes to upholding values and promises. On the other hand, Trump has proven time after time that he stands firm in his beliefs and fights for the American people. When it comes to immigration policy, voters face a clear choice: Trump’s consistent record or Harris’ hypocrisy and political maneuvering.
