During a Univision town hall on Thursday, Vice President Kamala Harris doubled down on furthering the ongoing invasion at the U.S. southern border if elected president this November.

The moment came when a prospective voter questioned Harris about what she would do to support noncitizens who have resided in the United States “for years.” The Democrat nominee bragged about how “the first” piece of legislation the Biden-Harris administration sent to Congress was a bill that, among many things, sought to provide amnesty to illegal immigrants within the country.

Referred to by the White House as the U.S. Citizenship Act, the measure specifically would have allowed foreign nationals residing in the United States prior to Jan. 1, 2021, “to apply for temporary legal status, with the ability to apply for green cards after five years if they pass criminal and national security background checks and pay their taxes.” After a three-year waiting period, “all green card holders who pass additional background checks and demonstrate knowledge of English and U.S. civics can apply to become citizen.”

But Harris didn’t stop there. She went on to lament the death of a “border security bill” introduced by bipartisan members of Congress earlier this year, a bill that would have enshrined the existing invasion at the U.S.-Mexico border into law.

“A bipartisan group of members of Congress, including one of the most conservative members of the United States Senate, came together with one of the strongest border security bills we’ve had in decades,” Harris claimed. “And Donald Trump found out about that bill, realized it would be a solution, and told them not to put it on the floor for a vote because he would prefer to run on a problem instead of fixing a problem.”

As The Federalist has repeatedly noted, the vice president’s claim that the bill would have stopped the influx of illegal immigration across the southern border is a lie. In fact, the legislation specifically guaranteed thousands of illegal aliens would be allowed into the United States via the border every day,

As David Harsanyi wrote in these pages, that amounts to (at least) “nearly 2 million entries per year.”

When responding to a separate question later in the town hall, Harris reaffirmed her support for granting the millions of illegal immigrants in the United States amnesty, saying we must “do the work of focusing on what we must do to have an orderly and humane pathway to earn citizenship” for noncitizens.

As vice president and “border czar,” Harris has presided over what is arguably the worst illegal immigration crisis in modern U.S. history. According to an October 2023 report by the Washington Examiner, an estimated 10 million illegal aliens have unlawfully entered the United States since Biden and Harris took office in January 2021.

Most recently, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed in a letter to Congress that more than 647,000 illegal immigrants convicted or suspected of sexual assault, homicide, and other heinous crimes are roaming free in the United States. That communique came days after retired Chief Border Patrol Agent Aaron Heitke claimed in testimony before Congress that Biden-Harris administration officials told him he “could not release any names or information” to the American public on the increase of illegal aliens with “significant ties to terrorism” who were apprehended at the southern border.

Incredibly, that department, which OF COURSE was created in the wake of George Floyd’s overdose and heart attack death, is called the “Race and Culture Unit.” You may be curious: what exactly happens if a CBS News employee runs afoul of the “Race and Culture Unit”? Apparently, the answer is a company-wide, hilarious struggle session.

Puck News has the story:

On Monday, the anniversary of the October 7 attacks, Paramount Global chairwoman Shari Redstone was alerted to a fast-metastasizing, five-alarm shitshow at her company’s news division—and one that would turn out to be particularly personal for her. Earlier that morning, on a staff-wide call, CBS News C.E.O. Wendy McMahon and her deputy Adrienne Roark had stunned their teams by announcing that a recent CBS Mornings interview with the author Ta-Nehisi Coates had failed to meet the network’s editorial standards.

The executives didn’t specify the offense or offender, but they didn’t need to. McMahon and Roark were obviously admonishing the show’s co-anchor, Tony Dokoupil, for his interrogative on-air scrutiny of Coates and his new book, The Message. During a recent seven-minute segment, which had aired a week earlier, on September 30, the normally mild-mannered and affable Dokoupil came in hot to the roundtable interview with co-hosts Gayle King and Nate Burleson, the former NFL player. Dokoupil kicked things off by noting that The Message offered a one-sided account of the Israel-Palestine conflict that, absent Coates’s name and reputation and an American publisher, wouldn’t have been out of place in an extremist’s backpack.

[…]

Public scrutiny over the interview was relatively limited. Yes, it had garnered tens of millions of views and invited predictable criticism on Twitter from both sides. But Coates himself had not criticized the interview publicly, and The Washington Post had even commended the network for the unusually thought-provoking morning segment, declaring it “calm,” “heartfelt,” and “substantive.”

Internally, however, the fallout quickly gathered steam. Within 24 hours of the interview, McMahon had come under enormous pressure from several dozen employees in New York and abroad—foreign correspondents, morning show producers, seasoned veterans, and younger hands alike—who took issue with Dokoupil’s treatment of Coates, as well as what they perceived as his history of editorializing on the Israel-Palestine conflict. Meanwhile, a veritable alphabet soup of journalistic organizations—AAJA, SAJA, NABJ, AMEJA, etcetera—signaled plans to write letters of protest.

Last Tuesday, while the CBS News leadership was consumed with the network’s vice presidential debate, the issue was elevated to the network’s Race and Culture unit, which was formed in the summer of 2020, amid the George Floyd reckoning, and determines whether the “tone, content, and intention” of any segment or package are suitable for the network’s air. The unit, led by Alvin Patrick, determined that while Dokoupil’s questions and intentions were acceptable, his tone was not.

Meanwhile, the network’s Standards and Practices division, led by Claudia Milne, determined that Dokoupil had not followed the preproduction process wherein questions are run through Race and Culture and Standards and Practices. The following day, McMahon reached out to Dokoupil directly and informed him that the network would need to address the violation with staff, though she and Roark would spend the next three days deliberating over exactly how to do that. Ultimately, McMahon decided to have Roark announce the violation at the all-hands meeting, which angered a lot of Dokoupil’s friends and acolytes at the network.

On Monday morning, which happened to be the one-year anniversary of the October 7 Hamas attacks on Israel, Roark noted that Dokoupil’s indelicate tone failed to uphold “the legacy of neutrality and objectivity that is CBS News.” And then all hell broke loose.

[…]

Many within the media ruling class acknowledged that McMahon probably could not have handled this any worse, a point they reiterated after learning that CBS News had planned to follow up on Tuesday by bringing in Dr. Donald Grant, a self-described “mental health expert, D.E.I. strategist, and trauma trainer,” to moderate a staff-wide discussion on the issue. Shortly after I reported that detail, an Instagram post by Grant portraying Republican Senator Tim Scott as Uncle Tom surfaced on Twitter, inviting widespread scrutiny of CBS News from the right, both for its choice of Dr. Grant as well as its decision to invite a D.E.I. strategist and trauma trainer in the first place. CBS News ultimately decided not to include Dr. Grant.
