Our immigration system is broken, and we need comprehensive reform that protects national security as well as human dignity. The way we treat children defines us. America is supposed to be a beacon of hope. This is not the message we want to send the world.

The child refugee crisis on our border must be addressed immediately, and this bill does that as well as provides congressional oversight to make sure agencies are doing their job in a humane manner.

Key words are "congressional oversight". Another ploy for power by democrats.

No they shouldn't be given any more money! Find out where the $700 per child went because it doesn't cost but about MAX $50 Someone is LINING THEIR POCKETS!

Thank you for this. Are there Representatives/Senators on site at these facilities now? We as citizens are not allowed access, from news reports, but those in power positions should be going.

Thank you. Punitive policies created this crisis. I appreciate you using your constitutional duty as the power of the purse to protect children. I hope the bill doesn’t just build more cages, but funds reunification efforts.

@RepKendraHorn this does nothing to solve the problem. The problem is facism until the policy changes nothing changes. You just made it easier to torture. - 1 more reply
