In that time, families have moved elsewhere, businesses have closed, and some communities are unrecognizable from where they started during this crisis.\n\n\u201cOur border communities can finally see the light at the end of this long, dark tunnel with the Biden administration\u2019s announcement that fully vaccinated Canadians will be able to travel to the United States by land and sea just as they\u2019ve been able to do by plane. The administration\u2019s policy now follows the science.\n\n\u201cThis is just the start of the next chapter. For many border communities, especially Point Roberts, they will need additional support and resources to build back better and I will continue to champion their voices in Congress.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:24:51Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://delbene.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=2979"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8827289566397667, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
