Vice President Kamala Harris spent years in the Senate opposing immigration enforcement measures before she ascended to the White House, a review of her record shows.

The Harris campaign has quickly attempted to moderate the newly-minted Democratic presidential candidate’s image on border security, with allies emphatically distancing the vice president from her “border czar” appointment. Her campaign chief has suggested she would keep in place a Biden-era executive order cracking down on illegal border crossings and she launched a campaign ad that casts her as more of a champion of Border Patrol than President Donald Trump.

But as a U.S. senator from California, Harris actively opposed border enforcement proposals, and immigration enforcement advocates have identified her Senate career as far-left.

“No good vote for her. Everything is a zero and an F,” Eric Ruark, research director for NumbersUSA, said about Harris’ Senate voting record to the Daily Caller News Foundation.
