Kamala Harris Has Worked with Foreign Leaders to Prosecute Trans-National Gang Members
Only one candidate has the experience and knowledge required to make the border more secure. And she doesn't have to suspend the constitution and raid Americans' homes to do it.

Kamala Harris began her career in the Alameda County District Attorney’s office, where she concentrated on prosecuting child sexual assault cases. When she moved from Alameda to San Francisco, she increased the resources available to the office’s domestic violence and sexual assault units. As DA, she successfully shut down Backpage.com, a site where the adult services section was notoriously used by sex traffickers.
After she was elected as California’s first female District Attorney, she immediately began working to bring together federal and state officials and leaders from Mexico and Latin America to increase communication and prioritize bringing down gang and drug trafficking leaders. Ms. Harris was interested in bringing down bigger players instead of focusing on smaller, low-level arrests.
In the summer of 2011, the year she took office, the DA’s office announced success in several large-scale operations that successfully targeted and disrupted gang activity. This includes the arrest of over 100 in Gilroy as part of a five-county and-gang operation and the arrests of 101 members of two transnational gangs in the Central Valley.
She touts her success in disrupting the Sinaloa and Guadalajara cartels and in taking down a Bay Area heroin trafficking ring with ties to Mexican gangs. It’s no wonder she decided to be a gun owner, considering the enemies she made throughout her career.
As president, Kamala Harris has promised to sign the bi-partisan border bill Donald Trump killed, double the resources available to the Justice Department to extradite transnational gang members, and increase personnel, training and surveillance at the Southern border. Her unstable opponent had promised to unleash the military on Americans.
Kamala Harris has a smart, workable plan for border security that she has honed through decades of experience as a prosecutor. She has a smart plan to provide resources and assistance, not a bonkers plan to generate chaos by pitting state National Guard troops against each other in a useless and unconstitutional attempt at mass deportation.
