VP Harris' father wrote book warning about dangers of mass migration
Vice President Kamala Harris' relationship with her own father, a Marxist professor, is strained, to say the least. Earlier reports indicated that they live just miles from each other but rarely communicate.
According to the New York Post, there may be some political reasons behind the distance between the two, as her father, in a book he was part of writing in the 1980s, made a strong case against mass migration.
Under the administration of President Joe Biden and Vice President Harris, mass migration has been a very big and dangerous problem for the country, showing clearly that she differs from her father's position on the issue.
Her father, Donald Harris, believes that mass migration is a massive disruption to the Black community, especially regarding the workforce.
What did he say?
In a 1988 treatise he co-authored titled “Black Economic Progress: An Agenda for the 1990s," Harris, an emeritus professor at Stanford University, warned against the dangers of mass migration.
Harris made it clear in the writings that an influx of migrants would hurt the American workforce by displacing U.S. workers.
"Trends in international trade have moved against U.S. workers,” he wrote.
Harris added, "U.S. immigration laws have been modified in ways that increase the influx of low-skilled workers, who compete with native-born youths and low-skilled adult workers for low-skilled jobs."

The book added, "This shift has been a particularly serious problem for blacks, who constitute a high proportion of the low-skilled adult workers."
Social media reacts
Users across social media reacted to the resurfaced writings of the vice president's own father.
"I don’t care if he said it or not. It’s happening. Keep importing Venezuelans, give them most services and keep those abortion clinics in the hood," one X user wrote.
Another X user wrote, "Is there a reason Kamala never talks about her father? The person that gave her the so called black roots?"
The distance between VP Harris and her father reportedly stretches back to when he divorced her mother in the 1970s.
