GOP House plan to halt border swarm with enforcement in Central America and Mexico

Washington Times:

A House Republican task force Wednesday unveiled a $1.5 billion plan to ease the border crisis, including deploying the National Guard to help achieve “operational control” of the border and launching law enforcement operations in Central America and Mexico to stop illegal immigrants before they reach the U.S.

Under the plan, the U.S. steps to accelerate immigration hearings for the unaccompanied alien children flooding across the Southern border, providing additional judges to hear requests for asylum. Tougher penalties on human traffickers, or coyotes, who smuggle the children to the United Sates would be imposed to discourage more mass illegal migration.

Rep. Kay Granger, the Texas Republican who led the task force, called the proposed measures “common-sense, compassionate, but tough solutions.”

“Our focus has been to ensure the safety of the children and it has remained a top priority throughout this process,” she said. “In our personal meetings with the Presidents of Honduras and Guatemala they both stated that they wanted their children back, and we believe that is in the best interest of all the countries involved in this crisis. We look forward to working with these countries as they prepare to receive their children back.”

I watched an interview of a Guatemala official this evening and he seem to think it would be no problem to bring the kids back.  I think the administration has been pushing a false narrative about these countries.
