Before demanding sources, please provide you own. What research have you done so far, so others can help you find what you're struggling with?

You want me to backup a counterclaim, with magical evidence of subject nonexistence, to a claim with no sources? Why would I do that?

My point is, you never even bothered to google Kamala ICE policy. If you did, you would have found this article:

https://www.wvtm13.com/article/fact-checking-kamala-harris-border-security/61780748

From 2024.

Speaking to a crowd in Atlanta on Tuesday, Harris reiterated her support for a border bill that would increase funding for ICE detention beds, border patrol agents, asylum officers and immigration judges. It also would also reinforce new restrictions on migrants seeking asylum, alongside other reforms.

This is a casual forum, not an academic debate. If you want to start demanding sources for things, show that you've put some good faith effort into disproving the claim. If you just want to reply casually, that's fine. That's what most discussion here is. But when you start demanding a higher level of rigor, it's only polite to demonstrate that level of rigor yourself first.

See that would have been a good response like 4 comments up the chain instead of throwing random insults and an illogical tantrum. But with that in mind, Harris was trying to represent the entire US and not Liberals with those statements, polls places Immigration as a top concern for 61% of Americans, but with a large gap between Republicans and Democrats in the poll and with the months prior sparking discussion of potential civil war over Texas' national guard's interference with federal immigration processing and deployment of razorwire in rivers where crossings were common.
