"With no end in sight, we need to have a plan to deal with this crisis in a humanitarian and practical way."


    Raleigh, NC – The recent influx of undocumented, unaccompanied minors crossing the southern United States border has compelled Governor Pat McCrory to join governors calling on President Barack Obama to address the crisis situation in a pragmatic and humanitarian way.

    Governor McCrory, alongside Alabama Governor Robert Bentley, Kansas Governor Sam Brownback, Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett, Utah Governor Gary Herbert and led by Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, sent a letter to President Obama today urging him to secure our country's borders and to protect the safety of the children involved in the crisis.

    Governor McCrory was among a bipartisan group of governors who met with Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell last week at the National Governors Association Meeting in Nashville to discuss the issue. During the meeting, governors from both parties took issue with the Obama Administration's handling of the situation.

    In the letter, the governors mention the mutual concern that a larger movement toward our southern border may be encouraged by a failure to return children home. It has been reported that 90,000 minors could make the journey to the border by fall.
