Tom Cotton: We Cannot Allow a Child To Be a Get out of Jail Free Card

‘— And get into the U.S. free ticket’

EXCERPT:

COTTON: "I think it’s very important that we protect our border. We cannot allow a child to be a get out of jail free card and a get into the U.S. free ticket. But at the same time as you said and as we have all said, we'd like to keep families together, keep them together at the border for the orderly and timely processing of the adults immigration claim. If it’s a lawful legitimate claim we can admit the family into the country. If not they have to go back to home country. I'm glad that you are looking for a solution for that. I know that we in Congress are working on legislation that will allow our hard-working Border Patrol agents to keep families together at the border while we process their claims in a timely fashion."
