What Congress Can Do to End Suffering at the Border
It is a searing image. A toddler in pink shoes, a pink jacket, and jean shorts staring up at her mother, who is talking to a U.S. Border Patrol agent. She is afraid. She is in tears. She could be any of our daughters. This young girl quickly became a symbol for opposition to President Donald Trump’s “zero tolerance” policy of prosecuting all illegal border crossings. That policy, due to a 1997 federal court decision, also necessitates separating parents from children when families are arrested for crossing the border illegally.

Dems Protesting Immigration Prove They Don't Want to Fix Anything
Democrats are heavily protesting Republican offices and members of President Donald Trump’s administration over their immigration policies, but are repeatedly unwilling to do anything about the root causes that drive so many illegally across American borders. Multiple Republicans in the House and Senate crafted proposals in June to deal with family separation.

South Carolina's Arrington Won't Drop Out of US House Race After Crash
U.S. House candidate Katie Arrington is determined to keep running for Congress from South Carolina even after a crash that will likely keep her in the hospital for two weeks, family friend U.S. Sen. Tim Scott said. Scott said the first word Arrington wrote when he visited her the day after the wreck was "miracle." It wasn't long before she wrote "campaign" and Scott noted "the fire in her eyes" he has noted over the years. Arrington had to write because doctors only removed her from a ventilator Monday. "Part of her life that was saved was to give it away for public service," Scott said at ... Read More
