[CLICK HERE to Watch Rogers Speak in Opposition Efforts to Eliminate DoD’s Role in Border Security]

 

WASHINGTON – Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Ala.), ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee, led opposition to three Democratic amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that would have exacerbated the border crisis and taken an already partisan NDAA even further to the left. The House rejected policies that would: prevent Department of Defense (DoD) facilities from being used to house unaccompanied migrant children by a vote of 198-223; prohibit the president from using DOD facilities to house undocumented immigrants by a vote of 179-241; stop the president from deploying troops to the southwest border to enforce immigration law by a vote of 173-245.

“Every president since Reagan has authorized DoD assistance on the border, including Clinton and Obama,” Rogers said. “DoD has played a critical humanitarian role by providing safe, secure, and accountable housing to children who arrive at border without a parent or guardian in the past. With our Border Patrol stations at a breaking point, the last thing we should do is tie the administration’s hands.”

This has become a daily occurrence in SW Texas. Our @CBP agents are begging for Pres. Biden to extend Title 42, reinstate the MPP, and finish the wall. This is a humanitarian and national security crisis.

I have one thing to say: @POTUS, do your job.

He admitted to using her just to gain entry into the U.S. He will be sent back but this little girl remains here, alone.

This horrible practice is known as "recycling children" when young kids are used as pawns to shepherd adults across the border. 3/

Today, as I toured the processing facility where they hold children and families, I asked officials to track down this little girl and see what else they found out about her.

Ten minutes later, agents confirmed what we suspected: this man was not her father or a relative. 2/
