Last week, @RepCuellar @RepEscobar & I led our fellow border colleagues in calling on @HouseAppropsGOP & @AppropsDems to reimburse local govs and NGOs who are stepping up to provide shelter and aid at the border.pic.twitter.com/I84i6H16KL
The situation along the southern border continues to change rapidly, and as a result of the fed govt’s inadequate response, local communities and NGO’s are being forced to step up and fill the void. However, their resources are being stretched thin beyond capacity.
It is time the federal government acknowledge the realities on the ground and pass a DHS supplemental that reimburses local governments and NGOs who are providing shelter and aid.
But we cannot stop there, it is critical that we also address the backlog in our immigration courts stemming from the shortage of judges and provide more resources and support staff to assist CBP agents who are currently doing jobs they aren’t trained to perform.
