Easy way to claim the Republicans are do nothing, right?
Agree with Mark, its about enforcement not new laws. Secure border First.
Constructive suggestion. Any Bill originating in the House must be given reading and vote within 30 Days of passage. No way for one party to control ALL legislation by not allowing it to advance.

Here is the law that you say needs to be enforced:
Section235 -
Directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to develop policies and procedures to ensure that unaccompanied alien children in the United States are safely repatriated to their country of nationality or of last habitual residence.
Sets forth special rules for unaccompanied alien children from contiguous countries.
Directs the Secretary to: (1) develop a safe repatriation pilot program for alien children; and (2) negotiate child repatriation agreements between the United States and countries contiguous to the United States designed to protect children from severe forms of trafficking in persons.
States, with specified exceptions, that the care and custody of unaccompanied alien children in the United States shall be the responsibility of the Secretary of Health and Human Services. Sets forth related provisions respecting: (1) notification of, and transfer to, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS); (2) age determinations; (3) safe placement; (4) legal and child advocate access; (5) immigration status adjustment and asylum protections; and (6) assistance eligibility.
Authorizes the Secretary of Heath and Human Services to award grants to, and enter into contracts with, voluntary agencies to carry out such responsibilities.
This law continues to allow foreign children to cross our border. So what does a Border Patrol Agent enforce the law or close the border. Only Congress can undo this.
