EXCLUSIVE — A Latina House Republican plans to propose a pair of immigration bills that would crack down on fake migrant families coming across the southern border and dramatically heighten penalties on employers who hire people ineligible to work.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) on Friday will debut two bills, one of which she said is intended to protect migrant children from being trafficked into the country under the pretense of being part of a family — sometimes just a cover for the child to be put into forced labor in the United States.
