Scoring points doesn’t solve problems
Editor,
Current immigration law and enforcement isn’t working. The last major policy revision was in 1996.
We need rational discussion and bipartisan action that doesn’t demonize either political party or those who immigrate legally.
We also need U.S. Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) to be part of the solution, not part of the problem.
Earlier this year, a group of senators, including James Lankford (R-Okla.), Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.) and Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), proposed a bill to limit border encounters.
If that limit were exceeded, the border would have been shut down. While not perfect, this could have provided relief and time for Congress to negotiate comprehensive change.
Instead of supporting this bi-partisan bill, Roy rambled about cartels and Ukraine, and the bill died before coming to a vote. Roy seems more interested in scoring debate points than solving problems.
We need someone who will solve problems.
