This week, Congressman Andy Biggs co-sponsored the Equal Protection of Unaccompanied Minors Act, sponsored by Congressman Mark Meadows. Congressman Biggs released the following statement:
"We should enforce our immigration laws in a way that ensures that all aliens are treated as humanely as possible -- especially innocent children. To this end, we must make sure that those seeking asylum are doing so legally and for legitimate purposes. I commend Congressman Meadows for sponsoring this legislation that seeks to support the President's efforts to enforce our laws, while applying a necessary fix to an outdated law in order to keep families of aliens together at the border."
