WASHINGTON (TND) — Vice President Kamala Harris will help create
citizenship opportunities for illegal immigrants, including creating a
pathway to citizenship, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., said Sunday.
The senator told CNN’s Jake Tapper that Harris would work with Congress
to develop "comprehensive" immigration policy.
“We need the tools in order to have more resources at the border, to
have more resources in the states and cities that are supporting
migrants, and I believe we need a pathway to citizenship,” Sen. Warren
said. “All of that is part of what we need to do for comprehensive immigration reform. Kamala Harris will work with Congress and get that
done.”
Democrats have insisted Congress would be more effective in addressing
problems with migration than the White House. President Joe Biden pushed lawmakers for weeks this past winter to pass legislation related to
border security before he issued executive orders limiting immigration.
“What a president can do all by herself on immigration issues is quite limited, particularly when Congress will not authorize the resources
needed,” Sen. Warren noted. “That’s what creates real chaos at the border. What we need is comprehensive immigration reform, and that
requires working together: Republicans and Democrats and a president
that wants to work with Congress.”
Former President Donald Trump urged lawmakers in February to vote
against the legislation, claiming it would be destructive to the GOP.
