Mr. Speaker. I rise today to speak on the importance of comprehensive immigration reform and the growing humanitarian crisis we are facing at our southern border. It is the job of the Congress to face and resolve challenging issues like our broken immigration system. We ought to pass the bipartisan Senate bill that would provide commonsense solutions to address not only reforming our immigration system. but to deal with this immediate humanitarian crisis at our border. Instead. the Republican House leadership refuses to allow a vote on comprehensive reform and has come up. instead. with a plan that would change the law passed in 2008 to combat human trafficking. In addition. this partisan bill will provide limited funding for this fiscal year.
