    I dunno, if I’m a rich Republican donor who’s thinking about jumping from the Trump sinking ship, this is a pretty convincing one.

    Harris is pointing out Trump’s incompetency to fix the immigration issue and how she, and the Democratic Party, will be the competent party who can get it done for the Republican donor class who have lost a lot of money under Trump and made it back under Biden.

    Again, they going after the Republican donors, not their voters.

      If you’re a rich Republican donor, you don’t want them to actually strengthen barriers to migration because your firm runs on undocumented labor or undocumented workers so your landscaping and look after your kids.

      You want immigration to continue to serve as red meat as the Republicans cut taxes and ease regulatory costs on your business (either by weakening them or strengthening them specifically to make it more difficult for new market entrants to get a foothold)

      The rich donors she’s courting employ the undocumented immigrants Kamala is threatening to deport, and she’s explicitly saying that she’s not just going to scare people with rhetoric about them, she’s actually going to deport their workers
