Rep. Val Demings Statement on Border

Orlando, FL: Today Rep. Val Demings (FL-10) said the following:

“We are a nation of laws and a nation of values, and we must uphold both. The images from the border this week are disturbing but not new. The unacceptable treatment of Haitian immigrants is a sad symptom of a broken system that for decades under Republican and Democratic presidents has failed to stabilize our border and has harmed innocent families seeking the American Dream after fleeing from disaster and danger. I have called for immediate action from the administration and from Congress to build a safe, orderly, and controlled immigration system where all people are treated with dignity and respect. The American promise is a special thing. We must live up to it.”
