Dr. Kristin Hook Wants to Solve the Border Problems
It’s time to put a representative in Congress who wants to solve the border problems instead of hanging onto them as a political cudgel. Dr. Kristin Hook is that person. Current immigration law and enforcement hasn’t worked, yet our congressional representative, Chip Roy, refused the opportunity to take bipartisan action that was supported by the Border Patrol.
The last major border policy revision was in 1996. Earlier this year, a group of senators, including James Lankford (R-Okla.), Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.) and Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), proposed a bill to limit border encounters. Too many crossings would have shut down the border. While not a perfect solution, this along with money for hiring more border security and processing personnel would have provided relief and time for Congress to negotiate comprehensive change. Chip Roy, voted against that bill.
