Diaz-Balart: Border Situation is a Humanitarian Crisis

WASHINGTON – Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) released the following statement after House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) appointed Diaz-Balart to the working group that will address the influx of unaccompanied minors crossing the U.S.-Mexico border.

"The current situation happening at the border is a serious humanitarian crisis that needs urgent attention. We must find a humane solution to make sure these minors are both safe and healthy, while strictly adhering to the laws of this great nation.

"I thank Speaker Boehner for appointing me to this group and I look forward to working with my colleagues so that we may find the best solution. Once again, the Administration has failed to lead and therefore, Congress must do its part."
