Kamala Harris in 2019: Cut ICE Funding, Pay for Illegal Aliens Sex Change Surgeries
“Transition treatment is a medical necessity, and I will direct all federal agencies responsible for providing essential medical care to deliver transition treatment.”
In 2019, then-Sen. Kamala Harris told the ACLU she supported cutting ICE funding and paying for sex change surgeries for illegal aliens.
CNN discovered the questionnaire:
In an American Civil Liberties Union questionnaire then-Sen. Harris filled out as a candidate for president in 2020, she also expressed support for decriminalizing federal drug possession for personal use, and for sweeping reductions to Immigration and Custom Enforcement operations, including drastic cuts in ICE funding and an open-ended pledge to “end” immigration detention.
The questionnaire has received scant media attention and a spokesperson for the ACLU claimed it had remained live from 2019.
But the ACLU’s website upload and page source indicate the questionnaire was reposted last month after Harris became the presumptive Democratic nominee. CNN was unable to find questionnaires filled out by other candidates from the 2020 campaign that the ACLU had reposted.
The ACLU asked the candidates if they would use their “executive authority to ensure that transgender and non-binary people who rely on the state for medical care – including those in prison and immigration detention – will have access to comprehensive treatment associated with gender transition, including all necessary surgical care.”
Harris said yes.
She added:
“It is important that transgender individuals who rely on the state for care receive the treatment they need, which includes access to treatment associated with gender transition,” Harris wrote in a reply expanding on her answer. “That’s why, as Attorney General, I pushed the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to provide gender transition surgery to state inmates,” she wrote.
Harris explained that she supported granting prisoners and detainees access to “surgical care” for gender transition.
“Transition treatment is a medical necessity, and I will direct all federal agencies responsible for providing essential medical care to deliver transition treatment,” she wrote.
That same year, Harris told a New Hampshire audience she supports having a “third gender” category on government identification documents.
Harris told CNN last month, “My values have not changed.”
How do your stances evolve but your values haven’t changed?
Then-presidential candidate Joe Biden did not fill out the questionnaire.
The ACLU attacked Biden for ignoring it.
The ACLU told CNN it doesn’t plan on sending Harris a questionnaire this year.
CNN asked the Harris campaign if she still supports these positions.
I think you can guess the response:
The Harris campaign did not answer questions from CNN on whether she continued to support these positions and instead provided a statement attributable only to an unnamed “Harris campaign advisor” saying, “The Vice President’s positions have been shaped by three years of effective governance as part of the Biden-Harris Administration.”
They declined to elaborate on what her positions were.
They also provided a comment attributed to a Harris campaign spokesperson saying, “As President, she will take that same pragmatic approach, focusing on common-sense solutions for the sake of progress.”

Can someone tell me the difference between these two statements?
1940: “Lobotomy treatment is a medical necessity.”
2024: “ Transition treatment is a medical necessity,”
I have a novel idea. Let’s stop mutilating the sexual organs of mentally ill people and reopen our mental institutions so they can get the help they need away from the surgeon’s scalpel, eh?
You do know that Democrats think everyone to the right of Mao is mentally ill, right? Be careful what you wish for.
They are definitely following the Soviet “mental illness” model.
Harris/Walz are going to pretzel twist themselves into any shape to fake out the American people.
Too bad we don’t have a media that would check these things…
The only positions of Harris’s are know to Willie Bjrown.
Trump is going to nail Harris on the cover up in a way only he can.
Let’s hope so.
I fully expect Kamala Harris to act like Al Gore in the NAFTA debate with H Ross Perot.
In that debate, Al Gore constantly, and I do mean constantly to the point of being rude, interrupted Perot, going on to claim victory.
It’s true, her values haven’t changed.
She values power and money.
She will say anything she thinks will help her attain those goals.
