Kamala Harris’ father warns immigration is bad for black workers

There is at least one Harris who doesn’t believe in open borders.

Donald Harris, a professor emeritus at Stanford Universitywarned against mass immigration of low-skilled workers in a 1988 treatise he co-authored titled “Black Economic Progress: An Agenda for the 1990s.”

Harris, now 86, was unequivocal at the time.

“International trade trends are unfavorable for American workers,” he wrote. “US immigration laws have been changed in ways that increase the influx of low-skilled workers, who compete with native-born youth and low-skilled adult workers for low-skill jobs.

“This shift poses a particularly serious problem for blacks, who make up a high proportion of low-skilled adult workers,” according to the book.

Harris, a Marxist economist, lives just two miles from his daughter in Washington, D.C., but the two rarely speak.

The chilly relationship dates back to Harris’ divorce from Kamala’s mother in 1972 – and the loss of a bitter custody battle.

The book, published only two years later Immigrant amnesty of 1986 This law signed by then-president Ronald Reagan is typical of far-left economic thinking on immigration.

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders was once a vocal critic of mass migration and called open borders “the Koch brothers’ proposal.”

“It would make everyone poorer in America,” Sanders said left-wing columnist Ezra Klein in 2015.

Vice President Harris has supported providing “pathways to citizenship” for illegal aliens – and continues to make that idea a pillar of her 2024 presidential race.

The U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021, which the Biden-Harris administration introduced on its first day in office, would have granted legal status to millions of illegal aliens currently living in the United States.

“The influx of illegal immigrants and therefore low-skilled labor advocated by Harris/Walz exacerbates inequality by driving down wages and creating competition among those who are already marginalized, particularly black Americans,” Black Republican Party political consultant Shermichael Singleton told the Post.

“The well-being of native-born citizens, especially those who have historically faced injustices like Black Americans, must come first. The problem of illegal immigration is not only economic but existential.”

The Harris campaign and Professor Harris did not respond to The Post’s request for comment.
