Mr. Speaker. I rise in opposition to this bill and also to the bill that will follow. We have a humanitarian crisis on our border in this country. and neither this bill and certainly not the next bill on DACA does anything to address it. These children are fleeing unimaginable violence and fleeing a life that they simply can no longer bear. It is not a problem of border security. These children are turning themselves in. They are simply fleeing the violence in their home countries. and they are not just coming to the United States. Belize. Costa Rica. and other countries have seen an uptick from Guatemala.
