Vice President Kamala Harris touted an immigration bill from 2021 as evidence that she and President Biden worked to strengthen U.S. immigration policies ahead of the migrant crisis that has rocked the U.S. in the last three and a half years.
A review of the bill, however, shows it would have paved the way to citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants.
"At the beginning of our administration, within practically hours of taking the oath, the first bill that we offered Congress – before we worked on infrastructure, before the Inflation Reduction Act, before the Chips and Science Act, before the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act – the first bill, practically within hours of taking the oath, was a bill to fix our immigration system," Harris said when speaking with Fox News’ Bret Baier last week in her first interview with Fox News since Biden dropped out of the presidential race in July and Harris ascended to the top of the Democratic ticket.
"Yes, ma’am. It was called the U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021," Baier responded, which Baier described as "essentially a pathway to citizenship."
