Ugly Betty actress America Ferrera angry about Kamala Harris statements gossip

entertainment">Harris said there that she wanted to improve the situation in Guatemala and added: “I want to be very clear to the people in this region who want to make the perilous journey to the US-Mexico border: don’t come.”

entertainment">The Ugly Betty actress, who campaigned for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris during the election, called those statements “a slap in the face.” In the talk show The View, she said on Thursday about Harris’s words: “It’s like telling someone who is drowning not to struggle to stay above water. Not to do that one thing that could save them or their children.”

entertainment">Ferrera believes it is important to speak out against the politicians she previously helped. “I never had the illusion that our candidates were perfect people. It is up to us to hold the people we choose to account for. That is what needs to be done now because these statements are harmful and contribute to an idea that makes it unsafe for immigrants in our country.”
