rising wave of anti- asian hate and violence and especially those triggered by the recent events in atlanta. we stand strongly with you and your constituents. thank you for being here. representative chu, nearly 40% of your l.a. area district is foreign-board. how has the pandemic affected the immigrant community and their family members? rep. chu: first, let me say thank you urban institute, because you have laid the groundwork for us to fight the anti-immigrant federal policies that haven't put on us over the last four years. with your data, with your research -- and believe me, it is a powerful tool that i have relied on time and time again when i am speaking to people on capitol hill, when i am at the hearings. so it's incredible what you are able to do. this pandemic of course has exposed deep inequalities in our health care system. each of us are equally susceptible to the virus, but not all of us are equally impacted by it. communities of color and especially immigrant communities have had some of the worst experiences battle in this pandemic. for instance, most frontline workers, wh

the president is in atlanta tomorrow and philadelphia on friday. kamala harris is in baltimore tomorrow and cincinnati friday. and doug emhoff will be in raleigh, north carolina on friday. according to their plans, they are expected to travel to about a dozen states by the end of next week. >> more reaction to the speech. this notable, this is from democratic senator mark kelly. the new senator from arizona. quote, while i share president biden's urgency in fixing our broken immigration system, what i did not hear tonight was a plan to address the immediate crisis at the border, and i will continue holding this administration accountable. from our viewers, chelsea and new haven, i am looking forward to seeing more of tim scott's presence in the gop. i hope he becomes the new face of the party as they move away from trump. appealing to a wide array of voters and bring moderates back to the party. another one here from roger in illinois, if senator tim scott does not rise to be a republican presidential front runner, they are foolish. and finally, au
