WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday hosted a group of recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program at the White House.
The vice president said she and President Joe Biden will fight to protect DACA, which a federal judge ruled unconstitutional on Friday.
“My family has lived in the U.S. for 17 years, not in the shadows, but unprotected,” DACA applicant Diana Bautista, 18, told Harris, appearing via video call. “We keep getting let down, again and again.”
“We will not give up in this fight,” Harris said. “This is your home.”
The U.S. Department of Justice is challenging the court decision and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security is drafting a new rule to try to protect it.
At the same time, a push to pass legislation creating a path to citizenship for DACA recipients remains gridlocked on Capitol Hill. Many Republicans flatly refuse to move on the issue until the southern border is secured.
“All around the world, people are hearing Senate Democrats saying, ‘We’re in the business of amnesty,'” Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said during a hearing on immigration Wednesday.
He said Democrats’ plan would encourage an even bigger influx of people at the border.
Without Republicans on board, Democrats say they may include a path to citizenship in their $3.5 trillion family and jobs plan, with Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., promising at the hearing, “I’m not going to give up on this issue.”
Republicans oppose the family and jobs plan, too.
“It’s like they have systemically identified the worst idea for American families on every single issue and set about rolling them into one huge, reckless proposal,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said.

Why are you and Crazy Joe sending covid 19 infected illegal immigrates all over our Nation. Seems like a plan to re-infected U.S. citizens with covid.
IT needs to stop IMMEDIATELY, CLOSE the BORDERS , we have a pandemic going on !
And Beijing Joe O’biden and his Administration doesn’t Cafe about what U & I think. They think they are the RULERS of the Country and the World.
The Only Virus that is causing a Pandemic in this great country of ours is occupying the White House and the people behind him!!
AND TO punish all the “Red states” for voting for Trump!
Fitting it is that the leader of the illegal America political party hosts a bunch of illegals seeking to have her illegitimately legitimize that which was stolen. They steal and negate the value of your citizenship worth as easily as they steal your citizen votes. She and her party of political border barbarians have brought more hordes of invading city sacking vandals than Atilla the Hun did in Italy. At least when Atilla crashed the borders there was no pandemic running amok like today when Kamala the Hun rides about the countryside like one of the Four Horsemen of the apocalypse.
“My family has lived in the U.S. for 17 years, not in the shadows, but unprotected,” DACA applicant Diana Bautista, 18, told Harris, appearing via video call. “We keep getting let down, again and again.”
“We will not give up in this fight,” Harris said. “This is your home.”
You know, we legitimate American citizens seem to get let down again and again—and it IS our home.
We work, we pay taxes through the nose, we abide by the laws, we vote (and we’re cheated out of what and whom we voted for), we have our inalienable rights trampled on every day—yet, somehow we’re the bad guys. I wish Mr Biden and Mrs Harris would think on that.
But U have to remember that Beijing Joe & Knee Pads Harris only have a Brain of STRAW . Like the Scare Crow in the the WIZARD OF OZ . I only have a Brain of Straw so therefore I’m a DEMOCRAT.
So true. ITS getting to the point, every one of these scumbag politicians, who KEEP PUTTING the ‘rights’ of illegal INVADERS, ahead of WE TAX PAYING US Citizens, i’d just love to drop into an active volcano…..
We will be successful in eliminating all illegal aliens from America and seize any of their US based assets to pay for their crimes and not cost the US Citizens and Taxpayers anything for the removal of the illegal scum plaguing our Nation.
Just get rid of them by all means available.
Thank God for the Supreme Court and Donald Trump!
There has always been a simple, legal way to obtain US residency and ultimately citizenship, but felons can never be US residents or citizens. All illegal aliens are merely felons and need to be prosecuted and deported and all assets seized to accomplish this!
well illegal ailiens sitting with a illegal vice president kind of fitting dont you think.
AND how is it, that if they are ILLEGAL ALIENS< they could pass security CHECKS TO EVEN GET into the bloody white house in the first place!?
On Jan 6 they should have said they were illegals looking for asylum then they would not have been arrested.
Na// Said “WE are BLM and are peacefully protesting!””
Knee Pads Harris with her Mouth wide opened she looks like a little Donkeys rear quarter. And she must be Related to AOC . When she opens her Mouth it looks all the same.
When a movie is made about Kamala Laugher Harris, the Joker will play the starring role.
As VP ,you are Sworn to uphold the constitution. I guess ,she was Lying when she took the oath of office. Kick her out of office.
EVERY DAMN DEM lied about that oath.. Which is why i’d love for ADND LIKE magic to exist, so i could CURSE EVERY ONE O THEM, to be unable to EVER SPEAK or even hear AGAIN, till they started HONORING THAT OATH!
Harris behaves as though she represents illegal aliens instead of American taxpayers on the hook for social costs of the foreign thieves stealing education, health care, jobs to which they are not entitled.
Most every democrat out there, seems to feel they represent the ENTIRE BLOODY REST of the world, over us US citizens…
This is camel dung’s idea of being the “border zar”.
