“We have power. And we have power in community, we have power in the way we stand with each other, and we have power in our vote. One of the ways we are going to get back to what is right is to make sure we vote people into office who understand this is a fundamental right,” responds Kamala Harris.

America Ferrera once called out Kamala Harris for her take on migrants
America Ferrera was one of the major critics of US Vice President Kamala Harris when she asked the migrants to not enter the United States during her Guatemala visit as part of her first foreign trip as Vice President in 2021. The 59-year-old further clarified that they would be returned home if they attempted to cross the border in a speech on June 7, 2021.
"I want to emphasize that the goal of our work is to help Guatemalans find hope at home, at the same time I want to be clear to folks in this region who are thinking about making the dangerous trek to the United States-Mexico border -- do not come, do not come," commented Kamala Harris.
The words were met with criticism from America Ferrera who condemned Kamala Harris' words in an interview on The View posted on June 10, 2021. Speaking to co-host Joy Behar, the actress called it a "useless and futile" strategy by Harris and expressed her disappointment over the entire issue.
She discussed the dire conditions faced by Mexican, Honduran, and Guatemalan people trying to cross the border. The actress compared Kamala Harris's remarks to asking a drowning person to stop struggling and embrace death.
“I think that it is our role and our job to elect people and then to hold them accountable. And [Harris] should be held accountable to these comments because they're harmful and they perpetuate a very harmful perspective that really does make immigrants in this country less safe," concluded Ferrera.
America Ferrera's parents are originally from Tegucigalpa, Honduras, and immigrated to the United States in 1970. When she was just seven, her parents got divorced and her father went back to Honduras where he died in 2010.
