Many of these provisions are borrowed from a bill I drafted along with ROBERT ADERHOLT and JACK KINGSTON. H.R. 5143. the Protection of Children Act. This bill expands the tools available to our Border Patrol agents and allows them to better and more quickly screen the influx of migrant children. It ensures a timely trial so that no child will have to wait in limbo for months or years to find out whether or not they will be able to stay in the United States. It includes crucial language to prevent these children from being placed with criminals. sex offenders. or human traffickers.
