Harris is constantly finding new ways to put America last. But this takes things to a whole new level.
And American cities are under a severe threat thanks to this plan by Kamala Harris.
A plan heavily advocated by Vice President Kamala Harris during her presidential campaign could bring a significant influx of migrants to American cities and towns via the Diversity Visa Lottery, an immigration program notorious for allowing a convicted Islamic State (ISIS) terrorist entry into the U.S.
In an exclusive interview with Fox News Channel’s Special Report, Harris spoke positively about the U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021.
As reported by Breitbart News, this legislation not only promises broad amnesty for millions of illegal aliens but also guarantees a streamlined path to American citizenship for them.
However, a critical part of the bill is its expansion of the widely criticized Diversity Visa Lottery. Polls from 2018 revealed that nearly 60% of likely voters wanted the program to be abolished.
The Diversity Visa Lottery, introduced through the Immigration Act of 1990 by then-Senator Ted Kennedy and signed by President George H.W. Bush, randomly awards approximately 55,000 visas annually.
These visas are distributed to nationals from various countries, including those known for harboring terrorism threats such as Afghanistan, Libya, and Yemen.
Under the Harris-backed legislation, the number of visas awarded annually through this system would increase by 25,000, potentially adding close to a million new legal immigrants to the U.S. every decade.
The primary motivation? To boost “diversity” in American communities.
Moreover, the bill would allow Diversity Visa recipients to apply for American citizenship after just three years on a green card, trimming two years from the current naturalization process.
Already, the U.S. foreign-born population has soared to a record 51.6 million.
The Diversity Visa Lottery has faced sharp criticism in recent years for enabling Islamic terrorists to enter the country, some of whom have gone on to commit deadly attacks.
One notable example is Uzbek national Sayfullo Saipov, who entered the U.S. through this program in 2010. He was convicted for the 2017 ISIS-inspired attack in New York City that left eight people dead.
Although the Citizenship Act of 2021 did not pass through Congress, it was described by the Heritage Foundation as “the most radical piece of immigration legislation ever introduced” in U.S. history.
Heritage analysts further stated that the legislation would blur the line between legal and illegal immigration, lacked provisions for border security, and would drastically increase immigration — both legal and illegal — at a significant cost to American taxpayers.
According to these critics, it devalues American citizenship and fails to serve the country’s broader immigration interests.
Vice President Kamala Harris has been a disaster on illegal immigration during her time as the nation’s “Border Czar.”
So it makes perfect sense that she supports a plan like this that would only make the illegal immigration crisis worse in this country.
