Letter to Mrs. Melania Trump, First Lady of the US - Invitation to Visit Detained Migrant Children in the Rio Grande Valley

Letter

Dear Mrs. Trump,

First and foremost, I would like to express my gratitude to you for taking time out of your busy schedule to witness the humanitarian crisis occurring at the border as over 2,000 children have been separated from their families.

It was unfortunate that your previous visit was shortened by the severe weather and flooding in the Rio Grande Valley. As our communities come together to rebuild our homes and ensure everyone is safe, my wife, Lorena, and I would like to welcome you to visit us once more. Not only do I believe that you would benefit from experiencing first-hand how these children are processed through our flawed system, but I believe that it would comfort these families to know that our leaders have not forgotten them.

I am incredibly proud to represent a region filled with remarkable potential and people driven to serve one another. It would be my privilege to share the hardships and fortunes of our community with you, our First Lady of the United States.

Last, but not least, I would like to thank you for your service to our great nation. Whether it is raising awareness about the opioid epidemic or working to improve the lives of our children with the BE BEST campaign, you are making our country an even better place. I know that many in South Texas share your commitment to your fellow citizens and would welcome a second visit.

Should you have any questions, please have your staff contact Chief of Staff Jose Borjon at (202) 225-2531. Please let me know if you are available to visit us in South Texas again. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
