Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., introduced a four-pronged bill Wednesday that he said was “designed to stop the humanitarian crisis” at the United States-Mexico border.
“Under our laws, if you come as a family unit and you come with a minor child, we can only hold the family for 20 days because we don’t want to separate the family,” he said. “ We release the entire family after 20 days. So word is out on the street in Central America that if you bring a minor child with you, your chance of being deported is almost zero, and your hearing date is years away, and we release you inside the country.
“If we do these four things, then the incentive created by our laws will cease to exist and this humanitarian crisis will begin to repair itself,” he said. Trump aide Stephen Miller and adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner visited Capitol Hill on Tuesday to brief Senate Republicans about thethe two have drafted. That plan, according to senators, includes conservative ideas on border security and asylum-seekers, as well as new proposals on legal immigration.
