San Diego, California – Today, U.S. Senator Laphonza Butler (D-Calif.) released the following statement immediately following her tour of the San Diego Border Patrol Sector’s central processing facility and visit to the U.S.-Mexico border in San Diego:
“During my visit, I saw firsthand why Congress must stop kicking the can down the road and act now to address challenges at the border and fix our immigration system. America is a nation of immigrants who came to this country seeking freedom and opportunity. America is also a nation of laws, and we must ensure our legal immigration system has the resources and efficiencies it needs to be effective while honoring the valuable role of the millions of immigrants who drive our economy and make important contributions to our country.”
