(DCNF)—Vice President Kamala Harris’ father, Donald Harris, once co-authored a treatise in which he argued mass immigration was dangerous for the United States, particularly for black Americans.
The 1988 book titled “Black Economic Progress: An Agenda for the 1990s” described immigration as “a particularly serious problem for blacks” due to there being fewer jobs available for working-class Americans, according to the New York Post. Donald Harris was reportedly a Marxist economist and currently has a strained relationship with his daughter, the sitting vice president, following his divorce from her mother and a difficult custody battle.
“Trends in international trade have moved against U.S. workers,” the treatise reads, according to the Post. “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.”
“This shift has been a particularly serious problem for blacks, who constitute a high proportion of the low-skilled adult workers,” the book continues, according to the Post.
