It has been said by some that it is due to President Obamas mixed messages and the administrations unwillingness to enforce the law. but regardless of what the reason is. we have a crisis that is growing. The bill that is before us this evening represents a simple. measured approach to the crisis at the border. It is not comprehensive immigration reform. rather. its focus is on fixing the issues within the context of the law. issues that have fueled the influx of these children. It also streamlines the process to ensure that those who are not eligible for asylum are quickly and safely repatriated to their families while. at the same time. adding protection to make sure that children who have been trafficked or genuinely in need of asylum get that protection they need. Like many of my colleagues.
