Harris fumed at Americans saying ‘Merry Christmas’ before illegal
migrants were protected in resurfaced clip

Then-Sen. Kamala Harris warned Americans not to say “Merry Christmas”
until there was permanent status for some illegal immigrants — amid a Trump-era battle over protections for some illegal immigrants who came
to the U.S. as children.
“And when we all sing happy tunes, and sing Merry Christmas, and wish
each other Merry Christmas, these children are not going to have a Merry Christmas. How dare we speak Merry Christmas. How dare we? They will not
have a Merry Christmas,” she said at a 2017 press conference, a video of which was obtained by Fox News Digital.
Speakers pushed for the passage of the Dream Act, which would grant a
pathway to citizenship for some illegal immigrants who came to the U.S.
as minors, NBC News reported.
Harris made the remarks in December 2017 at a press conference after then-President Trump had announced the end of the Deferred Action for
Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which shielded some illegal
immigrants who came to the U.S. as minors from deportation. Harris said
it was “morally wrong” to take away the existing protections for those protected by the Obama-era executive order.
Trump had called for Congress to act to come to a deal that would extend
those protections coupled with tougher enforcement, including the
construction of a wall at the southern border.
But, as Congress struggled to reach a deal, liberal activists and
Democrats warned that the illegal immigrants were now facing uncertainty
over Christmas as their protections would go away.

hopefuls were chosen from the larger field of candidates to participate

“They don’t know if they will be here in a matter of days, weeks and months,” Harris said. “Since Sept. 5, over 12,000 have lost their
status… And for that reason, we must get this done, and we must get it
done before the end of this year. No January, no February, no March, now.”
Harris, both as a presidential candidate and as vice president, would
call for a pathway to citizenship for a broader population of illegal immigrants, including those who came to the U.S. as children as well as
farm workers, Temporary Protected Status recipients and others.
The Biden administration on day one introduced a sweeping immigration
reform bill that includes such a pathway to citizenship. Officials
including Harris have continually pushed for that bill to be passed by Congress, but Republicans have balked at that proposal, particularly
during the ongoing crisis at the southern border.

Harris has come under attack for her role in the administration leading outreach on border-related issues, which led her to be dubbed the
“border czar” — a title she has rejected.
“Kamala Harris was appointed border czar, as you know, in March 2021,
and since that time, millions and millions of illegal aliens have
invaded our country, and countless Americans have been killed by migrant
crime because of her willful demolition of American borders and laws,”
former President Trump said on a press call last week.
The Harris campaign has pushed back, contrasting her record with Trump’s record in office.
“The only ‘plan’ Donald Trump has to secure our border is ripping
mothers from their children and a few xenophobic placards at the
Republican National Convention. He tanked the toughest bipartisan border security deal in a generation because, for Donald Trump, this has never
been about actually securing the border — it’s always about himself. He
can make up whatever lies he wants, but the fact is there’s only one candidate in this race who will fight for real solutions to help secure
our nation’s border, and that’s Vice President Harris,” Harris campaign spokesperson Kevin Munoz said.

"Congress" didn't "struggle to make a deal." PELOSI blocked Trump's
proposal, which would have granted amnesty to more of the people who had
been brought into the USA as children than any other politician had
proposed, including Obama and Biden. Pelosi blocked it because she
didn't want Trump ever to succeed.

Kamalas favorite word salad which is not word salad.
"We can see what has been unburdened by what has been."
It is a Marxist incantation.
Mao Zedong called it smashing the 4 olds of society, to make a new
china "unburdened by the past of China"
“All political power comes from the barrel of a gun. The ...
The Communist Party must command all the guns; that way, no guns can
ever be used to command the party.”
The quote was from Mao Zedong, founder of Communist China. Mao’s first
act after gaining complete control of China in 1949 was to take away all
guns from the population. It was a policy he began in 1935 as he took
over each rural province. Anyone found with a gun post-confiscation was executed.
The Bolsheviks did the same thing when they took power in Russia. They
were going to make a new Russia , a new man ; so they could be
unburdened by what had been, in the terms of a socialist Utopia.
To maintain its iron grip, the Soviet Union had to turn to the most
proven form of suppression — gun confiscation. On December 10, 1918, the Council of People's Commissar mandated that Soviet citizens turn in
their firearms. Failure to do so, led to criminal prosecution.
When Kamala says that same term "We can see what has been unburdened by
what has been" You can assume she knows what she is saying as her father
was a Marxist professor.
In her language and beliefs she is an outright Marxist and that is who Democrats want to vote in.

How dare Kamala try to bury the attempted assassination on Trump's life.
How dare Kamala not care that her and Biden's economic policies have
created deep hardship for millions of people. How dare Kamala not care
that the democratic process was abandoned so Obama and the radical left
could install her as the candidate.
