Vice President Kamala Harris’ new communications director asked on Twitter in 2010 why illegal immigrants he saw on TV were not being deported by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This week, over a decade later, he again repented for asking that question, this time before top congressional Democrats.
amid a furor from immigration activists and Democrats at the suggestion people in the country illegally should be arrested.
"As a pundit for much of my career I have tweeted a lot and spoken out on public issues. Sometimes I have been sarcastic, unclear or just plainly missed the mark,""I sincerely apologize for offending those who care as much as I do about making America the best, multi-ethnic, diverse democracy it can be," he said."I know the role I am taking on is to represent the Biden-Harris administration, and I will do so with humility, sincerity and respect.
However, the apology only blunted the damage and the Democrats, many of whom are key promoters of mass amnesty for illegal immigrants, met with him to discuss the damage. "Jamal had an open and honest conversation with members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus where he reiterated his deep regret for his past words and long-standing commitment to immigrant rights," a White House official told Fox News.
