At a Las Vegas event hosted by Hispanics in Politics, the state’s oldest Latino political organization, Democrat presidential hopeful Kamala Harris in Las Vegas slammed President Trump’s new immigration policy for shifting from a family unification-based system to one that emphasized merit.
“The idea that you’re gonna start categorizing folks, that there’s gonna be a hierarchy now?… This is a nation that was founded on a principle that we articulated in 1776 — that we are all equal, and should be treated that way,” Harris told the crowd at Doña Maria’s Famous Tamales restaurant.
Harris promised to tackle immigration reform on “day one” in the White House if elected.
