Davids Statement on the Passage of Emergency Humanitarian Supplemental | 2019-06-26 | 2019 | 2019-06 | Democrat | House | KS | Sharice Davids | D000629 | davids.house.gov | legacy | Rep. Sharice Davids issued the following statement on the passage of H.R. 3401, the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations for Humanitarian Assistance and Security at the Southern Border Act. The treatment of children at the border separating families and keeping kids in mass-detention centers goes against the values we hold as Kansans and as Americans. This humanitarian crisis is urgent, and addressing it must be our priority in the immediate future. That's why I voted to pass legislation that will aid children and families seeking asylum and help relieve the horrific conditions of over-crowding and lack of food and sanitary items at border detention facilities. This package also will fund effective alternatives to detention that have a proven track record of success, provide needed oversight so this crisis never happens again, and help address the root cause of the situation. The Senate also has a bipartisan version of this bill that includes many of these same provisions. I hope the Senate will take the House legislation up immediately, and that both sides will come to an agreement quickly so that it can go to the President's desk. To be clear, these issues will not be resolved by funding alone. We must continue to stand up for what's right and push for bipartisan, comprehensive immigration reform. That is the only long-term, real solution and I stand ready to work with my Republican and Democrat colleagues to get it done. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
