Zolan Kanno-Youngs: 卡马拉·哈里斯的移民政策立场复杂多变,难以简单归类。早期在旧金山担任地区检察官时,她对庇护城市政策采取了较为强硬的立场,支持将某些犯罪的未成年无证移民移交给联邦执法部门,此举引发争议。但同时,她也采取措施帮助无证移民,例如打击剥削无证移民的雇主,并支持为无证暴力犯罪受害者发放特殊签证。在担任加州总检察长期间,她关注边境问题和跨国犯罪组织,并采取执法手段打击相关犯罪活动。在参议院任职期间,她公开反对特朗普政府的移民政策,并积极参与相关立法。在担任副总统期间,她的主要职责是解决中美洲北部三角地区(危地马拉、萨尔瓦多和洪都拉斯)的贫困和腐败问题,以应对移民的根本原因。她的策略包括加强该地区的民主制度和吸引投资,以创造就业机会和培训项目。然而,这一策略的有效性仍有待观察,并且该策略的重点是中美洲北部三角地区,而忽略了其他地区的移民涌入。在拜登政府时期,边境问题成为主要焦点,政府采取了更强硬的措施,包括与共和党合作以及发布行政命令限制寻求庇护。卡马拉·哈里斯的竞选政策与拜登政府的政策基本一致,强调边境安全,并利用其执法背景作为宣传点。总的来说,卡马拉·哈里斯在移民问题上的立场并非一成不变,而是根据其所处职位和政治环境而有所调整。 Sabrina Tavernisi: 对谈中,Sabrina Tavernisi 主要负责引导话题,提出问题,并对Zolan Kanno-Youngs 的回答进行总结和进一步追问,例如 Kamala Harris 的政策是否会是 Biden 2.0,以及她的移民政策立场是否能获得美国民众的支持等。
