Vice President Kamala Harris’ father, Donald Harris, co-authored a 1988 treatise warning that mass immigration could negatively impact the United States, especially Black Americans.
According to a report by the New York Post, the book Black Economic Progress: An Agenda for the 1990s argued that an influx of low-skilled workers would intensify job competition for working-class Americans.
Donald Harris, a Marxist economist, emphasized that changes in U.S. immigration laws were increasing the number of low-skilled immigrants entering the workforce.
“Trends in international trade have moved against U.S. workers,” the book states. “U.S. immigration laws have been modified in ways that increase the influx of low-skilled workers, who compete with native-born youths and low-skilled adult workers for low-skilled jobs.”
He pointed out that this shift posed “a particularly serious problem for blacks, who constitute a high proportion of the low-skilled adult workers.”
The revelation comes as Vice President Harris faces scrutiny for her role as the Biden administration’s unofficial “border czar.”

Under her tenure, the U.S.-Mexico border has seen approximately 8.5 million migrant encounters. After opposing former President Donald Trump’s border wall plans, Harris recently shifted her stance, expressing support for new border wall construction.
A recent House Judiciary Committee report also noted that nearly one million undocumented migrants remain in the U.S. without the threat of deportation, a situation described as “quiet amnesty.”
