Such unilateral actions and failed policies, in my judgment, are what caused this dire situation here in Texas in the first place.
To be sure, the Federal Government must protect and care for these refugees in the most humane way possible.
Simply put, comprehensive immigration reform is long overdue, and Congress must work to fix our broken immigration system now.
There is no doubt in my mind that we must do more to end the prevalence of migrant deaths on our Southern Border.
We are a Nation of laws, and right now we have a law on the books that gives these individuals certain rights.
This is a Federal issue and our local governments and charitable organizations should not be forced to bear the financial burden of providing the most basic of human kindness.
If we really want to stop the influx of illegal undocumented children, you need to have quicker deportation hearings.
You need to address that issue, getting them back as soon as possible so that that action would send a message throughout the countries.
I just hope that we don't confuse the issue of how do we address the situation of drugs coming in or the situation of terrorists coming in.
I also wanted to comment and publicly commend our local Chief of the Border Patrol Sector, Kevin Oaks, for his policies.
