Vice President Kamala Harris in now promising to secure the border, but when she was a senator of California, she was a staunch opponent of deporting illegal immigrants.

Harris joined a group of protesters during a 2018 Los Angeles parade chanting, ‘Down down with deportation!’ in a video exclusively obtained by the Daily Mail.

Harris was named the grand marshal of the 33rd annual parade, typically reserved to celebrate the legacy of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.

But leftist political forces used the occasion to celebrate their own political causes, including the ‘Times up!’ movement, featuring women who protested sexual harassment and discrimination in the workplace.

The topic of immigration enforcement also came up during the parade, prompting Harris to join chants celebrating illegal immigration without consequences.

‘Up up with education, down, down with deportation!’ she chanted enthusiastically with the group of activists at her side as she clapped her hands and pointed and smiled.

Harris was joined by members of her family including her husband Doug Emhoff and his daughter Ella Emhoff, who filed the occasion on her iPhone.

Other prominent figures who joined her in the parade included a onetime rising television star Jussie Smollet who was featured in the show Empire, a fictional story of a struggle for control of a hip-hop production company.

Smollet, wearing sunglasses and a Times Up t-shirt held a young girl and joined Harris in the throng of protester.

In January 2019, Smollet was found guilty of conducting a hoax hate crime after he falsely claimed he was jumped by two men wearing MAGA hats who poured bleach on him and wrapped a noose around his neck.

Harris famously described the attack as an ‘attempted modern day lynching’ on social media in a post she has still not deleted even after Smollet’s claim has been thoroughly debunked.

.@JussieSmollett is one of the kindest, most gentle human beings I know. I’m praying for his quick recovery.

This was an attempted modern day lynching. No one should have to fear for their life because of their sexuality or color of their skin. We must confront this hate.

 Harris followed through with her goal of reducing deportation once she got to the White House.

According to data released by ICE, the Biden administration’s actions in office resulted in a 67 percent decline in removals of criminal aliens compared to the Trump administration.

In the first three years of Trump’s administration, ICE removed 485,930 illegal aliens with criminal confiscations or pending criminal charges.

The Biden-Harris administration, however, only removed 158,931 criminal aliens or pending charges.

Harris has raised the alarm of Trump’s vow to resume deportation of criminal illegal immigrants, by warning of ‘mass deportation’ camps.

‘They have pledged to carry out the largest deportation, a mass deportation, in American history,’ Harris said during a speech at an event hosted by the​​ Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute, the nonprofit arm of the congressional caucus.

‘How’s that gonna happen, massive raids? Massive detention camps?’ she said. ‘What are they talking about?’

Trump said he would first prioritize criminal illegal immigrants for deportation, in an interview with journalist Sharyl Attkisson.

‘We are getting the criminals out and we are going to do that fast, and we know who they are,’ Trump said

He spoke about the dangers of allowing unchecked illegal immigration into the United States.

‘We are not a dumping ground. We are going to get all those people out and we are going to get them out fast and we have no choice, because that is not sustainable by any country,’ he said.
