Texas Border Business
Washington, D.C.– Within one week of meeting one on one with Honduran Ambassador to the United States, Jorge Milla Reyes, Congressman Henry Cuellar (D-TX28) will be joined this Saturday by the First Lady of Honduras, Ana Garcia de Hernandez as well as Ambassador Milla Reyes to tour the Border Patrol Facility in McAllen and the Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio that is housing unaccompanied minors.
Rep. Cuellar will also host Chairwoman Kay Granger (R-TX12) of the State and Foreign Operations Appropriations Subcommittee at both tours. Chairwoman Granger was recently appointed by House Speaker John Boehner to chair a working group on the humanitarian crisis at the southern border.
These visits are a follow up to Rep. Cuellar’s June 14th tour of the McAllen Border Patrol facility, in which he invited local officials and met with Border Patrol agents, unaccompanied children, and immigrant families. Congressman Cuellar was the first Member of Congress to visit the site and this will be the first time a representative of one of the Central American countries that are part of the surge of unaccompanied minors will visit the border.
