Dear Friend,
I hope everyone enjoyed their Father's Day and is staying safe and cool in this heat. The situation at our southern border has always been a source of intense political discourse. While this humanitarian crisis is very familiar to my constituents, it often gets misinterpreted in the national conversation.
That's why I sent a letter to Vice President Kamala Harris last week, inviting her to come to my district. It is critical that we address the pull factors of this immigration influx-the reasons why migrants decide to make the dangerous trek.
I want to be a resource to the administration; we can work together on solutions to mitigate illegal migration and safely reopen our land ports of entry as well as border economies.
In the district, my team stays hard at work attending local events and helping public officials and constituents.
As always, if you need assistance with a federal agency, please do not hesitate to contact one of my offices.
