"Regardless of what this Administration says, our borders are not secure—this bill would fix this and ensure law enforcement agencies work closely together to stop illegal immigration," she said.
The statement came as Flores, who was elected in June in a special election, introduced the legislation along with Democratic Reps. Dave Joyce, R-Ohio, Susie Lee, D-Nev., and Chris Pappas, D-N.H. which marks a rare bipartisan effort to tackle the crisis at the southern border – which has seen more than 1.7 million migrant encounters in this fiscal year so far.
