Following the mass shootings which took place on Tuesday in Boulder, Colorada which killed ten people and last week's mass shootings in Atlanta, Georgia, Vice President Kamala urged Congress especially Senate to act on responsible gun laws. MVP Harris told Gayle, "The point here is Congress needs to act. On the House side, they did. There are two bills which the president is prepared to sign, and so we need the Senate to act."
On the usage of AR-15 style-assault weapons which was the weapon used in both shootings, MVP said this,"There is no reason why we have assault weapons on the streets of a civil society. They are weapons of war." There is a lot more she said on the subject.
When asked about how the administration is working on the Southern Border, MVP said that she and the president will at some point in the year visit the various borders entries as the U.S. remains on track to open at least six emergency facilities to house migrant children coming into the country. This comes after the Biden administration has been facing scrutiny from both the Democrats and Republicans for how they are addressing the growing crisis.
She also said that the administration is going to need to work to solve the root problem of the migration crisis and deal with what causes people from those countries to come to the United States.
About how to deal with the increase in racist attacks against AAPI, Madam Vice President said this, "We have to do a number of things. One is we have to hold the people who commit hate crimes accountable, we also need to speak the truth about our history and not gloss over it. We need to also talk about what we must do, to really think about how we define who is an American. And understand that it is the very essence of the strength our nation that we are a land of immigrants, people who have come from around the globe here and contributed to our vitality, our strength. And all people are part of it. The Chinese helped build the railroads of America."
