Years before her catastrophic failure as the Biden administration’s border czar, Vice President Kamala Harris helped an illegal alien become the nation’s first undocumented lawyer while she was California’s top law enforcement official.
In a court brief filed during the illegal alien’s years-long legal battle to obtain a law license, then California Attorney General Harris wrote: “it is not a crime either to be present or to work in the United States without immigration status.”
Even the Obama administration opposed an illegal immigrant practicing law in the United States and the Department of Justice (DOJ) challenged it, arguing that a 1996 immigration reform law precludes undocumented aliens from receiving commercial and professional licenses issued by states and the federal government. Accordingly, the California Supreme Court blocked the illegal immigrant’s license to practice law and the case went on for years until Harris intervened on the migrant’s behalf.
