Kamala Is Fast-Tracking Citizenship Applications in an Attempt to 'Reshape the Electorate'


Rusty Weiss reporting for RedState 

The Biden-Harris administration is granting citizenship to immigrants at speeds not seen in over a decade while a wholly disinterested mainstream media is doing little more than bragging about it.

There was a time in this country when journalists would find stealing an election a topic of interest. A threat to democracy, even.

Instead, the New York Times recently published a glowing report indicating that over the first nine months of the fiscal year, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USIS) is averaging under five months to process naturalization applications.

That process took almost exactly a year on average in 2021. What could possibly be happening in 2024 that would cause the administration to view the process of turning an immigrant into a citizen with the right to vote with such urgency?

While the answer to that seems glaringly obvious, Xiao Wang, chief executive of Boundless, a company that offers services to immigrants seeking help with the naturalization process, makes it even more clear.

"The surge in naturalization efficiency isn’t just about clearing backlogs; it’s potentially reshaping the electorate, merely months before a pivotal election," Wang admits. "Every citizenship application could be a vote that decides Senate seats or even the presidency."

That’s not subtle. At all. "Reshaping the electorate" has always been the goal of this administration. It was the only way Biden was going to win in 2024. Now, it might be the only way to drag Harris across the finish line come November.

Though the Times makes no attempt to discern between legal and illegal immigrants in their report, they point out those being fast-tracked through processing to grant them voting rights “historically leaned Democratic.”

The Washington Post followed up the Times’ work by pointing out that “the government has increased resources to grant citizenship to qualified applicants on an expedited timeline.”

This, the Post contends, is okay because the number of newly processed citizens “pales next to the number of deaths and new seniors in the states.”

The Times doesn’t expressly state just how many of these freshly minted voters courtesy of the administration would affect voting in swing states. Still, they confess such battleground contests “have large and growing numbers of voting-age naturalized citizens, including Georgia, Arizona, Nevada and Pennsylvania.”

This has been the playbook from Kamala Harris from the beginning. Harris, we now know, was essentially running the country while President Biden was mentally incapable of doing so.

She strategically landed the title of border czar (you know, before the media rewrote history on that matter) and proceeded to open up the floodgates to illegals.

Harris’ mindset was exposed on her 2019 campaign website which linked to a study touting the “electoral implications” of not deporting some illegal immigrants.

Those individuals, the campaign wrote, “could provide sizable contributions to the margin of victory in swing states."

Again, it’s not subtle. The effort to use immigrants to sway elections (in 2022 and 2024) has been a hallmark of the Biden-Harris administration. Their urgency has increased exponentially when it became clear Donald Trump was leading not just national surveys, but nearly every swing state poll as well.

Their desperation has been on full display.

Biden and Harris in 2022 installed a de facto amnesty program in which 200,000 deportation cases were simply thrown out due to Homeland Security’s failure to file the proper paperwork in time.

The administration “unilaterally” paroled over a million illegal immigrants using a 1950s law in an "unprecedented" way.

Biden and Harris announced a new mass amnesty policy in June that would shield half a million illegal immigrants from deportation.

Now they are pushing citizenship at a record pace, hoping to use new citizens that "historically lean Democrat" to boost Harris’s election prospects.

Over 3.3 million immigrants have become naturalized citizens since the two entered the White House.

It is, without a doubt, an active attempt at “reshaping the electorate” in a way that could alter the outcome of the 2024 election.
