Another Harris flip-flop…

According to an Axios report, Kamala Harris no longer supports using executive actions to grant more than 2 million “Dreamers” a pathway to citizenship and protect 6 million undocumented immigrants from deportation; Harris made the promise in 2019.

 
“Every day in the life of a Dreamer who fears deportation is a long day,” Harris said then. “Dreamers cannot afford to sit around and wait for Congress to get its act together. Their lives are on the line.”
From Axios:

Asked this week whether she’d take those same executive actions, her campaign declined to answer.

Spokesperson Ian Sams said: “The vice president has fought for Dreamers throughout her career and is proud of the actions taken under her and President Biden to expand protections for them, including the executive action President Biden took this year, which she supported.”
State of play: Harris proposed putting Dreamers on a path to a green card by, among other things, granting work authorizations, using certain parole powers and waiving rules barring people from returning to the U.S. if they leave to apply for a green card in a U.S. consulate abroad.
In June, Biden used the same “parole in place” power to try to give people married to U.S. citizens a path to citizenship if they had been in the country for 10 years. It’s being challenged in court.
In 2019, Harris also vowed to expand “deferred action” programs that protect select groups of undocumented immigrants from deportation and prioritize deporting other groups such as those who’ve committed crimes.
Her campaign estimated the plan would protect more than 6 million people from deportation, such as the parents of U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents.

Asked if she had time for a brief interview to discuss her Dreamers policy, Harris’ campaign declined to make her available.
