With
the immigration crisis roiling the southern border and President Obama
seemingly paralyzed to act, I am supporting an effort in the House of
Representatives to amend a 2008 law – originally meant to combat sex
trafficking – that is exacerbating the problem. The change would accelerate the
screening and repatriation of many unaccompanied children who cross the border
illegally. This crisis demands immediate action from both Congress and the
President to address growing threats to public safety and to our national
security.
On
a lighter note, I had some special guests in D.C. this week – my wife and
daughters came from our home in Tulare to visit me. My daughters had some
interesting meetings here, including one with Senator Tim Scott and Rep. Trey
Gowdy, and another with NASCAR driver Kurt Busch.
Seems
like they enjoyed making some new friends.
