Pelosi Statement on Border Supplemental Bill to Provide Humanitarian Assistance for Children, Families at the Border

JUNE 23, 2019

Washington, D.C. – Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued this statement on the introduction of a strong border supplemental bill, which provides robust funding to relieve the humanitarian situation at the border and does not fund the Administration’s failed policy of mass detention:

“This week, the House will advance strong border legislation, which protects vulnerable children and keeps America safe as it honors our values. Congress continues to insist that families belong together and for immigrant communities to know their rights.

“We salute Congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard and all the appropriators for their relentless, good-faith work to address the heartbreaking and urgent humanitarian situation at our southwest border.

Lawsuits to gain access to these camps should have been filed already by our party leaders.

4. i hope there is more in there than just funding.......

funding is just part of the problem.

these concentration camps should not even exists. at the very least we need independent observers, and i dare say even UN human rights advocates in these facilities monitoring activities. Crimes are being committed here on a daily basis.
