"The extreme proposals put forth by House Republicans would cut border agents and decimate our agricultural workforce at a time when we need to be increasing both—especially if we want to stop the flow of illegal fentanyl and improve labor shortages. Frankly, it is not a real solution to the challenges we are seeing at our borders. Kansans expect Congress to work together, not along party lines, to fix our broken immigration system. I am ready to work with both Republicans and Democrats on a bipartisan, comprehensive immigration plan that actually secures our border, treats children and families humanely, and addresses the fentanyl crisis—this is not it." Background: Earlier this week, Davids urged the Biden Administration to work across the aisle to help pass a comprehensive immigration reform bill, saying "we need a comprehensive and bipartisan solution that is smart, humane, and true to our country's values. That must include securing and protecting our borders along with a roadmap to citizenship, especially for people who have served in our military and Dreamers." | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T23:55:44Z |
