Kamala Harris

Kamala Harris, California's next attorney general, ran a program that trained illegal alien felons for jobs, kept them out of jail and even helped to clear their criminal records.

"I am radical in my belief in what we can do to improve the [criminal justice] system," Harris told the Los Angeles Times earlier this month, without elaborating much on those sentiments.

But perhaps a more detailed and accurate description of her beliefs can be found in her track record as well as in lectures she delivered that did not receive news media attention.

WND has learned Harris was a lecturer at a 2004 symposium at the law school of the University of California at Berkeley, where she spoke alongside notorious radicals Tom Hayden and Van Jones. Harris at the time was a prosecutor.

Hayden was the principal organizer of the 1960's antiwar movement Students for a Democratic Society, from which the Weatherman terrorist organization splintered. He is known for his antiwar beliefs and has blamed U.S. policies for the 9/11 attacks.

Jones was President Obama's "green" jobs czar until he resigned last September after it was exposed he founded a communist revolutionary organization and called for "resistance" against the U.S. government. Jones described in previous interviews how his environmental activism was a front to push through socialist policies.

In her speech, Harris implied the role of a criminal prosecutor should be to fight for the cause of "justice" for the "poor, the disenfranchised, the people of color, immigrants, children, seniors."

At the 2004 Berkeley speech, Harris stated, "Law enforcement has not, at least always been, in the history of our communities, our friends. It is important for those of us who have a level of sensitivity to the poor, the disenfranchised, the people of color, immigrants, children, seniors, people who have been victimized – it is important for us to also be at the table when decisions are being made affecting those populations instead of just on the outside of the door."

Continued Harris: "As defense attorneys and public defenders always, fighting to get the good offer, fighting to say the charge should be dismissed, fighting to say the charges never should have been filed.

"Instead, why not approach it from the inside as well, looking at the system that ultimately, if done well, was designed to protect all of the people and be there where we can use our perspective and combine it with the immense power that a prosecutor has to do those things in the name of justice?"

She argued for the need to create a campaign around reducing "not the crime but the fear of crime."

At the symposium, Jones took the opportunity to slam "Mr. Professional Incarcerator, Mr. Right Wing Cheerleader for your professional incarcerating friends."
