Today's hearing should be shedding light on the pressing issues surrounding immigration policies, what is causing migration, and how do we make sure the children we talk about, the children that I actually know personally are cared for.
It is not lost on me that before murdering 10 people at the supermarket last year, the shooter wrote, and I quote, 'We are experiencing an invasion on a level never seen before in history.'
I really hope that if we're going to be saying we care about children that we actually address it by policy and create legal pathways so that human traffickers no longer have business.
If the border is open, which we continue to hear over and over and over again, then why is it that people are drowning in the Rio Grande?
