Southern Illinois Congressman Mike Bost says fixes to the nation's immigration issues need to be addressed sooner rather than later, and in a bipartisan manner. Recently, much attention has been given to the separation of children from their parents as families are caught entering the country illegally at the Mexico border. Bost says while it's getting a lot of attention right now, it's not a new development.

 

 

 

He reminds that if a citizen of the United States commits a crime and they have their children with them, the children will be separated from the parents for a period of time.
