Kamala Harris's War on Christmas: The Unbelievable Tale of Yuletide Politics

Kamala Harris and the Christmas Controversy

The Grinch who stole Christmas might just be Kamala Harris. Remember back in 2017 when she warned Americans not to say “Merry Christmas” unless certain illegal immigrants were granted permanent status? Yes, you read that right. At a press conference, Harris declared, “And when we all sing happy tunes, and say Merry Christmas, and wish each other Merry Christmas, these children are not going to have a Merry Christmas. How dare we speak Merry Christmas. How dare we? They will not have a Merry Christmas.”

Can you believe that melodrama? At the heart of her rant was a push for the Dream Act, aimed at paving a way to citizenship for illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. as kids. The nerve of those pushing to protect our borders while trying to celebrate Christmas, right?

DACA Timeline and Political Responses

Date	Event
December 2017	Trump announces end of DACA
September 5, 2017	12,000+ lose DACA status (according to Harris)
March 2021	Harris appointed as “border czar”

Let’s roll back to December 2017 when Trump, in his infinite wisdom, announced the end of DACA. This program, started by Obama, protected some illegal immigrants from deportation. Harris called this decision “morally wrong.” But Trump, ever the problem-solver, called for Congress to extend those protections, coupled with tougher enforcement measures like building that famous wall at the southern border.

The liberals, predictably, declared it a disaster for illegal immigrants right before Christmas! Harris was out there saying, “They don’t know if they will be here in a matter of days, weeks and months.” According to her, over 12,000 had already lost their status by September 5th. In her words, “we must get this done before the end of this year. No January, no February, no March, now.” Can’t wait, can we?

Harris as Vice President: Immigration Policies

Fast forward to her stint as vice president. Harris, alongside President Biden, pushed for a broad pathway to citizenship, not just for children but for farm workers, TPS recipients and others. They introduced a sweeping immigration bill the moment they entered the White House. Of course, Republicans saw through this and deftly resisted, as any sane party would during a crisis at the border.

Harris’s role as the so-called “border czar” has been a train wreck from the start. Don’t take our word for it. Former President Trump himself said, “Kamala Harris was appointed border czar in March 2021, and since that time, millions of illegal aliens have invaded our country, and countless Americans have been harmed.”

Political Back-and-Forth

But let’s not forget, Harris’s team had a rebuttal ready. Her campaign spokesperson, Kevin Munoz, claimed, “The only ‘plan’ Donald Trump has to secure our border is ripping mothers from their children… He tanked the toughest bipartisan border security deal in a generation because, for Donald Trump, this has never been about actually securing the border — it’s always about himself.” Oh please, Munoz! Spare us the lecture.

This back-and-forth drama underscores a clear point. Our borders were secure, and Christmas greetings were free under Trump. Contrast that with the chaotic present and, let’s be honest, who really understands what Harris’s plan ever was?

Conclusion

Folks, it’s simple. When you’re decking the halls this year, remember who has your back and who’s trying to hijack your holiday cheer. Merry Christmas — and that’s the last word on that!
