DHS Sec. Kirstjen Nielsen LIGHTS UP Congress for inaction on immigration, warns of ‘catastrophe’ on the southern border
DHS Sec. Kirstjen Nielsen ripped into Congress on Sunday for failing to address the growing “catastrophe” and “humanitarian crisis” on the southern border.
The security and humanitarian crisis at our southern border is getting worse every day. I again ask Congress to act ASAP to give @DHSgov the authorities we need to protect children from the terrible journey, discourage illegal immigration, and secure our border.

.@POTUS and I have been warning Congress that failure to fix our immigration laws would be catastrophic...now here we are, in the middle of a catastrophe. This is not the time to be partisan. Now is the time to act decisively to address the crisis.

I will say it again & again & again...failure to act is putting lives at risk—especially children who are exploited, pawned & in some cases ‘recycled’ by smugglers & traffickers. Bad guys know our outdated laws & they're using/re-using children as a ‘free ticket’ into America.

.@DHSgov needs the authority to treat all migrant children equally in the eyes of the law & make sure unaccompanied children are reunited w/ their families back home after appropriate due process—rather than sitting in border stations and shelters alone waiting for a sponsor.

Without a legal fix and additional resources, there will be no end to the crisis. Congress: @DHSgov is doing its job; ready to do yours?
