Huizenga Introduces The Family Reunification Act to Restore Families, Reunite Children Taken From Parents
Washington,
June 21, 2018
Today, Congressman Bill Huizenga (MI-02) introduced The Family Reunification Act, legislation to reunite children who were separated from their parents along the southern border.
“While the United States is a nation of laws, we are also a nation of compassion. I am for strengthening our porous border and reforming our broken immigration system. However, I am not for separating infants and young children from their mothers and fathers. We must take action to right this wrong. “This legislation instructs the federal government to reunite the children recently separated from their families as soon as possible. For years, partisan bickering has prevented meaningful immigration reform from being achieved. It is my hope that by reuniting children with their parents, the Family Reunification Act will build bipartisan momentum for solutions that strengthen border security and reform our outdated immigration system.” Text of Congressman Huizenga’s Family Reunification Act can be found here. |
