Episode 5: A Crisis of Perceived Corruption and Public TrustIn the concluding episode of ‘Bad Samaritans,’ we look ahead to a possible Harris administration and the prospect of mass amnesty. During his term, Biden made it clear that he considers amnesty a foregone conclusion and a mere formality. Many Americans now suspect that Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and other Democrats are pursuing a deliberate strategy of mass illegal immigration and amnesty – without seriously trying to break this cycle – for corrupt reasons of partisan advantage. Bad Samaritans is brought to you by the Catholic Accountability Project from CatholicVote.
