Kamala Harris, the presidential candidate foisted on America by the Democrat political machine—a vice president who has never in her life won a delegate in a Democratic primary—has been releasing ludicrous ads lately claiming she’d be tough on the border.

What an absolute joke.
Tell that to the police who patrol the streets of Manhattan, some of whom claim that up to 75 percent of all the crimes committed in the Big Apple are by illegal aliens.
Life in the big city:
Across New York, recently arrived migrants are flooding the criminal-justice system — at far higher rates than public officials have acknowledged.
Police sources shared with The Post a staggering estimate that as many as 75% of the people they’ve been arresting in Midtown Manhattan in recent months for crimes like assault, robbery and domestic violence are migrants. In parts of Queens, the figure is more than 60%, sources there estimate.
On any given day, Big Apple criminal court dockets are packed with asylum seekers who have run afoul of the law.
Astonishing. I wouldn’t believe it if RedState hadn’t been reporting on it regularly.

What’s behind this onslaught? It’s not complicated. Number one, it’s the Biden-Harris open border policies, which have allowed as many as 10 million illegal border crossers into the United States since they took office. Number two, it’s progressive policies like “sanctuary cities” and no-bail laws. [Emphasis mine]:
The problem is made much worse by sanctuary city laws that mean New York cops aren’t allowed to work with ICE on cases where they believe suspects are in the country illegally. Additionally, the NYPD says it is barred from tracking the immigration status of offenders.
This makes it almost impossible for authorities to get their arms around the problem, experts and sources on the ground say.
“New York City eliminated a tool to get rid of violent criminals. What a mess,” Jim Quinn, a veteran ex prosecutor at the Queens Districts Attorney’s office, told The Post.
“The sanctuary city law is pathetic. It’s disgusting. It’s crazy.”
Making matters worse, police sources say that word has gotten out in the shelters about the city’s lax bail guidelines — meaning migrants know they’re going to get kicked back to the street quickly after they’re nabbed.
Officers on the streets are the ones who deal with this scourge of violence and lawlessness every day, and they’ll tell you the reality that the White House ignores:
…the only people who have a full understanding of the scale of the problem are the police officers and court workers who see it day in, day out.
“I would say about 75% of the arrests in Midtown Manhattan are migrants, mostly for robberies, assaults, domestic incidents and selling counterfeit items,” a Midtown officer said.
He said the figure is an estimate because “you can’t be 100% sure [they’re migrants] unless you arrest them in a shelter or they’re dumb enough to give you a shelter address.”
Another Manhattan cop said that excluding petty larcenies at drug stores, the number of local arrests involving migrants is “easily” 75%, noting that most who get caught shoplifting go more for the pricey branded goods.
“They can’t be bothered with lower-end stores. They like Lululemon and Sunglass Hut,” he said, adding that migrants are behind “most” of the pickpocketing and phone and chain snatches the NYPD is encountering.

America, this is the vision for the United States that presidential candidate Kamala Harris brings to the table. Her record is crystal clear, and we must hammer it home every single day—or soon this will be all our reality.
