“The Way I See It” is an attempt by the columnist to enlighten readers on a subject as he views it, and does not necessarily reflect the views of this publication.”

Kamala Devi Harris

Joe Biden announced Kamala Harris as his pick for Vice President. She is a figure of much controversy, another very poor choice by Biden, if he actually made the choice. He seemed to have some difficulty reading the announcement in the video. Kamala was a very unsuccessful candidate for President, accused Biden of being a “racist”, and was an early drop-out.

Kamala Devi Harris was born on October 20, 1964, in Oakland, California. Her mother, Shyamala Gopalan named her the Sanskrit words for lotus and goddess. She had come to the US from Madras, India to study endocrinology at Berkley where she married Donald J. Harris a Jamaican economist working on his doctorate. Harris was a graduate of the University of London and a proud descendant of prominent Plantation and slave-owner Hamilton Brown, also the founder of Brown’s Town in agricultural St. Ann’s Parish.

Both of her parents were in college, apparently on Student Visas, neither were US Citizens at the time of her birth. The Democrats claim she has “Birth-right Citizenship” under the 14th Amendment, but that has never been fully adjudicated. The 14th Amendment states, “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States”. Are persons traveling under a foreign passport, under a Temporary Visa (Student Visa) totally under US Jurisdiction? They would be for Criminal and Civil law, but not under US Jurisdiction for Citizenship Issues. The 14th Amendment was written to guarantee Citizenship to American slaves and children of Immigrants, whose Parents had Permanent Resident status. If Mr. Harris can produce an original Draft Card dated previous to Kamala’s birth, then he was under “Under US Jurisdiction”, if not he was not he was a “Visitor” under passport. He did become a US Citizen later, but I can find no record of her mother becoming a citizen.

The Democrats refuse to even mention “natural born Citizen” when talking about Kamala. They are again ignoring the Constitution and the requirement of “natural born Citizen” as a requirement for President. The correct definition is “born in the country to citizen parents” from The Law of Nations, Section 212. The Dems got away with Obama because his mother was a US Citizen, but now they want to extend the Presidency to an “Anchor Baby”.

If we do not defend our Constitution and the Republic created by it, we will surely lose both; to the “Creeping Marxist Socialism and Globalism”, currently pushed by the radical Left elements of the Democrat-Socialist Party. Kamala Devi Harris is their candidate.

Kamala Harris describes herself as an “Afro-American Woman”. Genetically, she is half Indian and half Jamaican from her father who appears to be 1/4 or less Negro. Her parents divorced when she was seven and she moved with her mother to Canada. Did her mother become a Canadian Citizen, and Kamala become Canadian too? Kamala graduated from Westmount High School, Westmount, Quebec, in 1981. She came to Washington DC to attend Howard University. What Citizenship did Kamala use at that time? Was she Canadian by her residency and custody to her mother, or could she claim US citizenship? Perhaps it was easier to gain admittance as a Foreign Student, and to score a scholarship?

Kamala polled well at first, peaked at 23% in CA polls after accusing Biden of being a racist in the Miami, FL debate, but she slid quickly and so did donations. By Nov 2019, a LA Times Poll showed 61% CA voters wanted her to quit. She was polling at 7% in CA. When she quit there were still 24 other candidates still running. Non-partisan GovTrack.us website rated Sen. Kamala Harris “the most left-wing member of the Senate” in 2019, even further left than “Democratic Socialist” Sen. Bernie Sanders. She was only the “4th Most Socialist” in 2018. Kamala supports Defunding the Police, The Green New Deal, Open Borders, Outsourcing to India and H-1b Visas, Defunding the Pentagon, and is extreme Anti-Gun, supports bans and forced confiscations. But the New York Times tries to label her “a pragmatic Moderate”? They are going to have to do some serious white-washing of her record, and the Search Engines have already started. Kamala’s maternal Grandfather, P. V. Gopalan was described as a “socialist leader in the Indian Govt” previously, but now as a “professional civil servant”. How definitions change, and quickly, too. Her socialist attitude seems to be a family tradition. Kamala started in politics as an intern under Alan Cranston while a student at Howard and she moved to CA after graduation. She was active in Dem politics, went to Law School at UC Hastings College in San Francisco, graduated in 1989, passed the Bar in 1990, and was hired as a Deputy District Attorney of Alameda County. She was well known as Willie Brown’s girl-friend, and was appointed to the Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board and later the California Medical Assistance Commission. Harris took a “leave of absence” from her prosecutor job to serve in those positions. In 1998, she was hired by the San Francisco District Attorneys Office and promoted to head the Career Criminal Division. In 2000 she moved to City Hall working for the City Attorney running the Family and Children’s Services. In a contentious campaign Kamala won the District Attorney Office in 2004. She was elected to the CA Attorney General Office in a 2010 election where the lead changed 4 times during a post election count of Mail-In and Provisional ballots from Nov 2 to Nov 24, when her opponent finally conceded. She won the 2016 Senate race and went to Washington where she quickly made a name for herself as a very Left Liberal Senator. After her false accusations against Justice Kavenaugh, she became rated the 4th most “Liberal Senator” in 2018, and the “Most Liberal” in 2019, But she was often criticized for neglecting her Senate Duties to campaign for President.

President Trump has mocked this ticket as “Slow Joe & Phony Kamala”. Unfortunately true, in her first speech on Aug 13, she told 4 major lies. So, here we go again.
