Texas Border Business
Next week, Sen. Cornyn and Rep. Cuellar will introduce the Helping Unaccompanied Minors and Alleviating National Emergency (HUMANE) Act, legislation designed to reform current law and solve the ongoing humanitarian crisis on our Southern Border.
The HUMANE Act would:
Ø Improve the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2008 by treating all unaccompanied minors equally.
Ø Ensure Due Process under the law and work to repatriate and reintegrate unaccompanied children into their home countries in a timely, safe and fair manner.
Ø Require humane facilities and alleviate overcrowded DHS and HHS facilities and local entities that have been disproportionately impacted.
Ø Deter future children in Central America from making this treacherous journey to U.S.
