Vice President Kamala Harris has become the target of criticism for immigration after she promised to support a plan that would include amnesty and eventual citizenship for up to 22 million illegal immigrants in the United States.
During her speech, which took place over the weekend, Harris also promised to support the proposed Freedom to Vote Act, which would enact nationwide no-excuse mail-in voting. The proposed legislation would also automatically register voters.
Critics have since accused Harris of working harder to secure benefits for illegal immigrants than for Americans.
Heritage Foundation economist EJ Antoni told reporters, “All of the job growth we have seen has been going to foreign-born workers — a category…which the Bureau of Labor Statistics admits includes illegal aliens.”
Antoni further warned that the proposal from the Harris campaign would lead to foreign workers further competing with American citizens for jobs.
