I know every member of the National Guard that I served with would love the opportunity to secure our borders.

This is a crisis that has been in the making for years--one that we should have seen coming--but few concrete actions have been taken.

As a father of five, it's unimaginable what would compel a parent to risk the lives of their children on such a dangerous passage.

Securing the border is a responsibility of the Federal Government.

What is new is a series of Executive Actions by the administration to grant immigration benefits to children outside the purview of the law.

The Honorable Michael T. McCaul, a Representative in Congress From the State of Texas, and Chairman, Committee on Homeland Security:

Jesus Himself was a child migrant fleeing violence.

I think Congress--and I am going to do everything in my power to make sure Congress fulfills that responsibility.

unaccompanied children are facing new and increased dangers and insecurity and are fleeing in response.

the protection of migrant children is an especially important issue for the Catholic Church

I think the saddest thing about this whole story is the exploitation of these children.
