Doing nothing will not fix this border crisis. I believe that a thoughtful approach was taken to address this national security issue, which passed the House tonight. This legislation supports our border security agents who are being overwhelmed, funds national guard deployments to the border, and expedites the safe return of minors to their home countries and families. The House also passed legislation Friday night to freeze President Obama’s controversial immigration action called Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, and prohibit any new unilateral executive action to override immigration law. During floor debate, many pointed to DACA as the cause of the current border crisis. The Senate failed to pass a border bill this week. The House has now passed over 350 different bills that the Senate has not taken up, creating a legislative logjam right on Harry Reid’s desk.
