Harris stands firm on wildly unpopular immigration plan in final pitch to voters

Vice President Kamala Harris doubled down on her support for mass amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants living in the United States.

Harris' position on immigration issues appears to defy public sentiment.

A poll released in September revealed that roughly 54% of Americans, including 25% of Democrats, "Strongly" or "Somewhat" support mass deportation of illegal immigrants.

"Instead of actually adjudicating illegal aliens' cases based on the merits of aliens' claims for relief - such as whether an alien has a valid and successful asylum claim - immigration judges under the Biden-Harris Administration have been tasked with rubberstamping case dismissals, case closures, and case terminations, all of which allow illegal aliens to remain in the United States without immigration consequences," the report read. "This sort of quiet amnesty has become a staple of the Biden-Harris Administration's immigration courts," it added.

The administration's "Keeping Families Together" program could also extend mass amnesty to at least 550,000 illegal aliens in the U.S. The program, which is being challenged in court, would allow spouses and stepchildren of American citizens to request parole in place while they seek an adjustment of status.

During a Fox News interview earlier this month, Harris touted the administration's U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021 as an immigration solution.

The New York Post reported that the bill would allow the return of 1.5 million foreign nationals deported under former President Donald Trump's administration.
