The Republican bills responding to the humanitarian crisis at the southern border are the latest evidence of their breathtaking extremism. The Republican proposal is unjust. inhumane and abhorrent to our values as a nation. Their supplemental: Fails to provide any resources for legal aid to children with legitimate asylum claims. Does not authorize enough judges to adjudicate extensive case backlog. Tramples due process to rush terrified children back to the violence of their home countries. and Poses a particular danger to child victims of gang violence and human trafficking. To coax their party into voting for even that much. Republicans are also teeingup a vote to bar any adjustment or expansion of DACA. No additional relief for children and students. No relief for parents of DREAMers. No relief for parents of young U.S. citizens. and Certainty that we will continue to tear apart immigrant families. It is appalling that Republicans price for doing nexttonothing for vulnerable children is the opportunity to vote against the young immigrants who want nothing more than a future in the only country they have ever known. We should be acting on comprehensive immigration reform. but this Republican Congress is allergic to meaningful solutions.
