Harris upset when Americans say ‘Merry Christmas’ before protecting illegal migrants.

Illegal immigration has long been a contentious issue in the United States, with debates raging over the fate of those who came to the country as children. Then-Senator Kamala Harris made headlines in 2017 when she urged Americans not to say “Merry Christmas” until a permanent solution was found for these individuals.

The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program was at the center of the controversy, as President Trump moved to end the protections it provided for certain undocumented immigrants. This decision left many in limbo, unsure of their future in the country they had called home for years.

Harris, a vocal advocate for immigrant rights, condemned the move as “morally wrong” and called for swift action to protect those affected. She stressed the urgency of the situation, pointing out that thousands had already lost their protected status since the program’s termination.

As the debate raged on, activists and lawmakers alike pushed for the passage of the Dream Act, a piece of legislation that aimed to provide a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants who arrived in the U.S. as minors. This bill, if passed, would offer hope to many facing an uncertain future.

Fast forward to the present day, and Vice President Harris continues to champion immigration reform. The Biden administration introduced a comprehensive bill on day one that includes provisions for a broader population of undocumented immigrants, such as farm workers and Temporary Protected Status recipients.

Despite efforts to push this bill through Congress, opposition remains, particularly in light of the ongoing crisis at the southern border. Harris, who has been tasked with leading outreach on border-related issues, has faced criticism from Republicans, with some dubbing her the “border czar.”

Former President Trump has been vocal in his condemnation of Harris’ approach to border security, accusing her of contributing to a rise in illegal immigration and crime. In response, Harris’ campaign has defended her record, highlighting her commitment to finding real solutions to secure the nation’s borders.

As the debate over immigration policy continues to unfold, it remains to be seen what the future holds for undocumented immigrants in the U.S. Harris, a key player in the administration’s efforts, will undoubtedly play a crucial role in shaping the outcome of this complex and emotionally charged issue.
