Harris had an op-ed revealed in Elle dated December 20, 2017 during which she pushed for amnesty (excerpt):

…On September 5 of this 12 months, the Trump Administration cruelly, arbitrarily ended DACA. Since then, greater than 12,000 younger folks have misplaced DACA standing. That’s greater than 100 folks each single day. These younger folks’s lives are actually in limbo. With out DACA, their solely choices are to dwell right here with out papers and in concern of deportation, or to depart the one nation they’ve ever identified. They don’t have any path to citizenship. They will’t go away the nation and get in line to immigrate right here. There isn’t a line. And for this Administration, that’s the purpose.

The choice to rescind DACA is a part of a wider try to focus on immigrants. This Administration has ignited anti-immigrant sentiment, characterizing immigrants as rapists, murderers, and people who find themselves going to steal your jobs. That might not be farther from the reality. DACA doesn’t defend criminals from deportation, and approval and renewal are solely granted to recipients if, amongst different issues, they haven’t been convicted of a felony, important misdemeanor, or a number of misdemeanors.

…Congress has the flexibility to repair this. There may be bipartisan laws proper now within the Home and the Senate that offers these younger folks a everlasting path to citizenship. It’s referred to as the DREAM Act, and we should go it—now.

…With the vacations upon us, it’s my want that every of my colleagues within the Home and the Senate take time to actually see these younger folks. Not by means of a lens of partisanship or politics, not by means of a lens that’s ideological, however to only see them based mostly on who they’re. These younger folks can’t wait a minute longer. Congress should go the DREAM Act now.

After supporting open borders and amnesty all her years in Washington, Harris is now making an attempt to painting herself as a border hawk as she runs for president this 12 months.
