LOS ANGELES - Attorney General Kamala D. Harris today sent a letter to United States Senators opposing S. 2146, the Stop Sanctuary Policies and Protect Americans Act, legislation proposed by Senator David Vitter (R- Louisiana), which would potentially withhold federal funding from California law enforcement agencies who comply with the state Transparency and Responsibility Using State Tool Act (TRUST Act).
In the letter, Attorney General Harris expresses concerns over this effort to undermine the delicate balance struck in California to protect public safety and strengthen the relationship of trust between law enforcement and communities.
“I strongly believe that serious and violent criminals—whether undocumented or not—should be held accountable for their crimes. But when local law enforcement officials are seen as de facto immigration agents, it erodes the trust between our peace officers and the communities we are sworn to serve,” Attorney General Harris stated in the letter. “Criminal justice policy should not be conflated with national immigration policy.”
In June 2014, Attorney General Harris sent a bulletin to law enforcement agencies in California, outlining their responsibilities and potential liability for complying with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) federal detainer requests for undocumented immigrants.
The letter makes clear that California local law enforcement agencies are always able to notify ICE about serious criminals or those who pose a threat to public safety or national security. The TRUST Act allows local law enforcement to notify ICE about serious criminals, while requiring that local agencies analyze public safety risks posed by an individual, including a review of the arrest offense and criminal history, before deciding whether to devote local resources to hold an undocumented immigrant on behalf of the federal government.

Senator Kamala Harris of California made an impassioned plea on Tuesday for her fellow presidential candidates to focus on women’s access to reproductive health care, generating applause.
“This is the sixth debate we have had in this presidential cycle,” she said at the night’s debate in Ohio. “And not nearly one word, with all of these discussions about health care, on women’s access to reproductive health care, which is under full-on attack in America today. And it’s outrageous.”
Entering the debate, Ms. Harris was polling within the bottom rung of Democratic candidates in national surveys. Many supporters and donors were hoping that she would recapture the magic of June’s debate, when she flattened former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. over his opposition to school busing in the 1970s and opened up about her own story.

Harris supports the creation of a government funding program to pay tuition and fees for students attending public colleges and universities for dependent students whose parents have income of $125,000 or less and independent students with incomes of $125,000 or less. The program would be funded by a fee on Wall Street firms of 0.5 percent per stock trade. Regarding student loans, Kamala Harris proposed having up to $20,000 in student debt forgiven for Pell Grant recipients who start a business and operate it for at least three years in a disadvantaged community. Eligible students would also have loans deferred interest free for a business formation period of up to three years

In November 2017, Harris was a cosponsor of the Military Domestic Violence Reporting Enhancement Act, a bill that would form a charge of Domestic Violence under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) and stipulate that convictions would have to be reported to federal databases with the authority to keep abusers from purchasing firearms within three days in an attempt to close a loophole in the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) through which convicted abusers retained the ability to purchase firearms

Presidential hopeful Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) released her plan to combat domestic terrorism that would prioritize making it more difficult for suspected individuals to obtain or keep guns, while pushing other gun control reforms.
“In America, loaded guns should not be a few clicks away for any domestic terrorist with a laptop or smartphone,” said Harris. “We need to take action to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people and stop violent, hate-fueled attacks before they happen. By focusing on confronting these domestic terror threats, we can save lives.”
The proposal, which comes after two mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, killed 31 people in total, would create domestic terrorism prevention orders that would empower law enforcement officers and family members to petition a federal court to temporarily restrict a person’s access to firearms if they “exhibit clear evidence of dangerousness

Let me start by saying this: I guarantee you I won’t be exchanging love letters with Kim Jong-un. President Trump has handed Kim one PR victory after the next, all without securing any real concessions, so the next president will have serious work to do.
Ultimately, we can’t accept North Korea as a nuclear weapons state. But it’s clear that simply demanding complete denuclearization is a recipe for failure; we must work closely with our allies to contain and reverse the short-term threats posed by Pyongyang as we work toward that long-term goal.

The United States and Saudi Arabia still have mutual areas of interest, such as counterterrorism, where the Saudis have been strong partners. And we should continue to coordinate on that front. But we need to fundamentally reevaluate our relationship with Saudi Arabia, using our leverage to stand up for American values and interests.
You understand the truth now let's see the chief deceiver dumphr. Spin this into unrecognizable....so heels up Harris. Sounds more like wheels up Harris cause she got her own jet cuz.

According to Forbes, Harris, and Emhoff’s combined net worth is estimated to be around $6 million. Their overall assets include homes in Los Angeles, Washington, D.C, and San Franciso. Reportedly, they even have retirement accounts worth at least $1.4 million. The couple does not have children of their own. But, Harris embraces being a stepmother “Momala” to Emhoff’s children.
They have released their tax records have contributed 2.4 million to the federal reserve system as filed jointly with Husband since 2014.
Attorney General to the dumphr would be a very mean lady. He jas contributed to Harris campaign until 2015.

Their last big plan — the American Clean Energy and Security Act — passed the House in 2009 but went on to die an unceremonious death before reaching the Senate floor. Since then, there’s been nothing to replace it.
Plenty of Democratic politicians support policies that would reduce climate pollution — renewable energy tax credits, fuel economy standards, and the like — but those policies do not add up to a comprehensive solution, certainly nothing like what the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) suggests is necessary.
Young activists, who will be forced to live with the ravages of climate change, find this upsetting. So they have proposed a plan of their own. It’s called the Green New Deal (GND) — a term purposefully reminiscent of Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s original New Deal in the 1930s — and it has become the talk of the town

And this is what's wrong with someone like Kamala. She tries to justify whether the "illegal alien" committed a crime or not. Who the hell cares ?? They shouldn't be here !! But this is what you get with Kamala. Liberal nation stands firmly behind the illegal alien here in this country, but is the rest of the country. Pence should slap her silly on her immigration policy (or lack of it).

Another ridiculous idea that Pence should hammer her on. Free education for all !! Why stop at $125k ?? And why stop at taxing Wall Street firms of 0.5% per stock trade ? What about people w/ TD Ameritrade or Robinhood accounts? Let's tax them on their stock trades, too !! We know the game. Start small, then expand it from there.. Note to Kamala. It's not only "wealthy people" that own stocks. Plenty of people also own them via their 401k or IRA accounts.

Wall Street directly pays for free public education based on revenue generated primarily on day trading with the American financial markets... At least she trying to address not not expound on the corporate welfare program we are engaging in.

Why do you feel illegal immigration is allowed? What job do these illegals do that Americans won't. They are a class of migrant workers who are illegal and work in agriculture. Because it is cheaper than paying Americans.
It is necessary and it is needed to maintain profit while keeping cost for production down. Whether oranges peaches lettuce food is produced less expensively using illegals for labor.
But why do I debate a brain of a 15 year old....

LOS ANGELES — Like legions of immigrant farmworkers, Nancy Silva for years has done the grueling work of picking fresh fruit that Americans savor, all the while afraid that one day she could lose her livelihood because she is in the country illegally.
But the widening coronavirus pandemic has brought an unusual kind of recognition: Her job as a field worker has been deemed by the federal government as “essential” to the country.
Ms. Silva, who has spent much of her life in the United States evading law enforcement, now carries a letter from her employer in her wallet, declaring that the Department of Homeland Security considers her “critical to the food supply chain.”

They are completely marginalized if they get cancer or hurt they are deported. They complain to police of being raped they will ne deported due to their own devices of being here as the original act of crossing illegally.
They have no rights and no paper documentation they are now assets to plantations and are apart of the human trafficking issue we have in the United States. They are guarded as if they were slaves in the old south. And you seem to roll eyes as you eat brunch.... Never realizing that meal comes from a form of slavery.
