Keeping kids in school is common sense

Strong communities are built on structure, responsibility, and opportunity — values Americans have long championed. One of the most effective ways to uphold those principles is simple: Keep kids in school.

I have spent my career advocating for strong borders, the rule of law, and accountability in our immigration system. As a member of the Homeland Security Committee, I held the Biden administration accountable for failures at the southern border. So, when I say denying children access to K-12 education goes too far, it is not because my views have changed. It is because doing so creates larger problems for our communities.
