Rep. Davids Statement on the Final Passage of Emergency Humanitarian Supplemental

Statement

Rep. Davids issued on the following statement on the final House passage of H.R. 3401, the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations for Humanitarian Assistance and Security at the Southern Border Act.

"The children and families seeking asylum at our border deserve our immediate attention and humanitarian aid. I voted today to pass legislation that, while not perfect, will provide immediate assistance to those seeking asylum and help relieve the horrific conditions at the border."

"I would have liked to see stronger protections from the House bill included in this version, like increased oversight of the standards by which migrant children are detained, but ultimately getting aid to the children and families at the border must be our priority right now.

"Our work is far from over -- I will continue to advocate for long-term solutions address this issue while still upholding our values and making sure those who come here in search of a better life are treated fairly and humanely."
