Kamala Makes Women’s Lives More Dangerous

Champion of women’s rights uber feminist Kamala Harris has put women’s very lives in danger. As Czarina of the Open Border, she is directly to blame for the body count of American women mounting up across our nation since she and Biden canceled Trump’s previous illegal immigration safeguards and opened the floodgates to over 13,000 illegal migrant convicted murderers and 15,811 illegal migrant convicted rapists now roaming our streets.

Her empathy for illegal criminals instead of Americans has cost many American women and young girls their lives. We don’t know how many because the FBI doesn’t tell us. We do know the names of some of the beautiful, dynamic young women (allegedly) raped and killed by illegals. We know about Laken Riley, the young nursing student (allegedly) brutally murdered by a Venezuelan illegal. We know about Rachel Morin, the mother of five who was accosted on her run, (allegedly) raped and murdered by an El Salvadoran illegal. We know about 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, who was (allegedly) raped for hours by two Venezuelan immigrants and then strangled to death and left in a Texas ditch. Both of her (alleged) murderers had been apprehended by Border Control and released with a notice to appear in court later. Catch and release, then kill American women; these are the open border rules of Border Czarina Kamala. 

You may think – but really, how likely is it that you or I will be murdered by a sadistic illegal immigrant who is in our country only because Kamala and Joe let him in? Maybe not that likely. But that’s what the moms of Laken, Rachel, and Jocelyn thought. The thing about crime statistics is if you only have a 1% chance of being murdered, and it happens, your chances just hit 100%. 

Kamala Harris has always sympathized more with violent, illegal criminals than with their victims. She has said that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) should be retooled “starting from scratch” to reduce its effectiveness. In 2019, as President Trump was ramping up the deportation of criminal illegal aliens, then-Senator Kamala Harris introduced a bill that would have transferred $220 million from the Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) division of ICE to government bureaucrats and Non-Governmental Agencies (NGOs) running legal aid and welfare services for illegals.

She was also an early loud and proud voice for the defund the police movement responsible for growing the radically violent America-hating groups fond of setting cities and police stations on fire. During the 2020 George Floyd riots, she posted online pleas asking people to donate to the Minnesota Freedom Fund that freed Black Lives Matter, Antifa, and freelance rapists, murderers, and rioters, putting them back on the streets.  

In one of several jaw-dropping major campaign flip-flops, Harris last summer lovingly embraced the concept of President Trump’s border wall and vowed to spend mega-millions on building it – the very same wall which she had formerly ridiculed as a waste of taxpayer money and Trump’s “medieval vanity project.” Really? After she worked so hard to stoke the illegal invasion for years, we are now to believe that she wants to halt the illegal invasion with Trump’s hated wall. 

Remarkably, Kamala has also proven herself a danger to women who are in prison. She wants trans women, even jailed illegal migrant criminals, to have whatever gender-affirming care they desire, and she wants taxpayers to fund it. Her influence as California attorney general helped the passage of the state’s “Transgender Respect, Agency, and Dignity Act,” allowing males who declare themselves “women,” including convicted sex offenders, to be housed in women’s prisons with the predictable result that actual females are being raped by pretend women with their male equipment intact. From 2016 to 2023, California’s Correctional Health Care Services spent over $3 million on male-to-female transgender care, including breast implants, facial surgeries, laser hair removal, and nearly $2.4 million for 35 patients with vaginoplasties (don’t ask.)

Many of these gender-switchers, though, retain their male giblets. Knowing how many is impossible because the prison bureaucracy doesn’t want it known. But a former inmate, Amie Ichikawa, now runs a nonprofit helping incarcerated women and says she’s in contact with many women who have become sitting ducks for rape and sexual assault since the trans law was passed and signed by Governor Newsom.  Simply put, it seems these trans female prisoners would rather be the rapist than the rape. 

Ichikawa says the law is exploited by biological men pretending to be transgender, resulting in what she describes as “cruel and unusual punishment” for biological women, a human rights violation. She is featured in an Independent Women’s Forum (IWF) documentary series called Cruel and Unusual Punishment: The Male Takeover of Female Prisons, which uses interviews with female inmates and guards, along with whistleblowers from the prison world, to tell the tale of trans policies gone terribly wrong. 

In January of 2024, the U.S. Department of Justice stated interest, signaling that prisoners with gender dysphoria, such as trans women, have a right under the Constitution and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to be granted medical procedures, including gender-affirming surgery. Since what happens in California often spreads throughout the country, soon, women’s prisons nationwide will see an uptick in men transferring to women’s prisons, seeking female victims. Thanks, Kamala.

Who can forget the NBC September 10 Trump/Harris debate when Trump insisted the U.S. crime rate has risen, and David Muir used his moderator position to scold him that no, FBI stats show declining crime? A few days later, the FBI quietly issued drastic “corrections,” proving that Trump was right: violent crime actually jumped by about 4.5% from 2022 to 2021 instead of declining by 3% as they initially reported. That’s a 7.5% mistake, translating into more danger for American women. 

Amid alarming data released by ICE showing 525,431 convicted illegal migrant criminals and 222,141 with pending charges are loose on our streets thanks to the Biden/Harris open border, including over 13,000 convicted murderers, Kamala Harris wants to prevent women (and men) from defending ourselves.  

She has supported a mandatory gun buy-back, which amounts to personal firearm confiscation and still wants a ban on assault weapons, which are sometimes defined as pistols. And yet, she owns a big bad Glock and threatens to shoot anyone invading her home! Kamala is also a cheerleader for red flag laws that allow a person to ask a judge to take away another person’s firearms. People with personal motives can wrongly use these laws to deprive others of their Second Amendment rights. President Harris would doubtless impose more restrictions on personal guns at a time when women are more at risk than ever for violent crime.  

Kamala’s dangerous promotion of transgenderism also works to deprive young women of their earned victories and medals in sports competitions, according to a recent United Nations study that reports female athletes have lost nearly 900 medals to transgender rivals competing against them in 29 different sports. The study - “Violence Against Women and Girls in Sports” - found that more than 600 female athletes in over 400 competitions were defeated by competitors who were born male. The number of scholarships and other opportunities lost by women was not specified.

The study’s author, Reem Alsalem, said male athletes have specific attributes, including strength and testosterone levels, that can result in the “loss of fair opportunity” for female competitors. 

“Women and girls already have many odds stacked against them that impede their equal and effective participation in sports,” she said. “In addition, their ability to play the sport in conditions of safety, dignity, and fairness has been further eroded by the intrusion of males who identify as female in female-only sports and related spaces.”  

 The harm done to women by bigger, stronger men playing soccer, rugby, hockey, baseball, mixed martial arts, and other sports is becoming well-documented. In a 2022 volleyball match, North Carolina female player Payton McNabb was struck unconscious when a trans-identified male player spiked a ball at her head. Last year, a field hockey player in Massachusetts had her teeth knocked out when a trans-identified male threw a ball at her. At a basketball game between rival schools in Massachusetts, a trans-identified six-foot-tall male with facial hair playing for the KIPP Academy girls’ team injured several players on the College Charter School team, which forced the school to forfeit. 

If nothing is done, this outrage will continue in the name of equity and “trans rights” until a female athlete is killed or very seriously injured. And where is the outcry from alleged feminist Kamala Harris with her passionate defense of women’s opportunity, equal rights for women, and her aspirations to become our first woman president?

And then there are the rape trees along the hazardous route millions of migrant women trudge from south of the border to the U.S. The panties fluttering in the wind are silent testimony of tens of thousands of women who would not have been raped and brutalized, and even murdered had Kamala cared enough about her desperate sisters of color to close the southern border. According to a 2024 Massachusetts General Hospital report, “Violence Against Women Along the Migrant Journey,” 60 to 80% of women are raped by coyotes, cartel thugs, or gangs on their perilous journey to the U.S. Where is Kamala’s compassion? 

What a horror show. Kamala Harris uses soaring patriotic rhetoric to describe the many-splendored future she plans for Americans' aspirations, hopes, and dreams. But in reality, her actions have already brought untold misery and pain to the women she pretends to care so much about. Let’s pray we never discover the damage she would do to us as president.
