Vice President Kamala Harris emphasized the need for effective processing of individuals at the border and the establishment of a meaningful pathway to citizenship as solutions to address the broken U.S. immigration system.
She highlighted the importance of putting resources at the border to facilitate efficient processing and implementing laws that enable a substantial pathway to citizenship.
Harris also expressed frustration with the lack of bipartisan cooperation on this long-standing issue.
“Well, so, there is no question that our immigration system is broken, and so much so that we, as the first bill that we offered after our inauguration, was to fix the immigration system, which included what we must do to create a pathway for citizenship, and to put the resources that are needed into the border,” Harris said.
But sadly, people on the other side of the aisle have been playing politics with this issue. The solutions are at hand. And gone are the days, sadly, where a President Bush or a John McCain understood that we should have a bipartisan approach to fixing this problem, which is a long-standing problem.”
“But what are those solutions?” Laura Coates asked.
“The [solution] includes putting resources at the border to do what we can to process people effectively, and putting in place laws that actually allow for a meaningful pathway to citizenship,” Harris said.
