Minority Teenage Pregnancy Bill Touted by Lawmakers
Legislation Provides Federal Funding for Minority Teen Pregnancy Prevention Programs Despite the fact that our nation has made progress to reduce the rate of teen pregnancy, many minority communities continue to struggle with disproportionately high rates. To address disturbing statistics that show over half of all Latina and African American girls will become pregnant at least once before they turn 20, Congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard and U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer introduced The Communities of Color Teenage Pregnancy Prevention Act of 2011. “Teenage pregnancies often lead to ...

At a press conference on Capitol Hill Thursday, June 16th, Actor and Activist Eva Longoria and Shine Global joined Congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard (CA-34) and other child advocates in announcing the introduction of “The Children’s Act for Responsible Employment” (CARE), legislation which ensures adequate protections for children working in our nation’s agricultural fields. “Agriculture is the only industry governed by labor laws that allow children as young as 12 to work with virtually no restrictions on the number of hours they spend in the fields outside of ...

Rep. Roybal-Allard Introduces CARE Act to Protect Child Farmworkers Today, Congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard (CA-40) led 12 of her fellow House members in reintroducing the Children’s Act for Responsible Employment (CARE) to ensure adequate protections for children working in American agriculture. “Agriculture is the only industry in which children as young as 12 are allowed to labor with virtually no restrictions on the number of hours they work outside of the school day,” said Congresswoman Roybal-Allard. “That is why, since 2001, I have introduced the CARE Act, which ends this dangerous double standard. All of America’s children deserve to be protected equally under our laws, and no child should be discriminated against based on the work they do. The time has come for the United States of America to bring child labor laws in line with our American values, and give all of our children the fundamental protections they rightfully deserve.” “The CARE Act is an important step in bringing up to moral par our child l |
Rep. Roybal-Allard Statement on Rescinding of DAPA and Expanded DACA Congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard (CA-40), the ranking Democrat on the House Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee and the founder and co-chair of the Congressional Women’s Working Group on Immigration Reform, issued the following statement about the Trump Administration rescinding the 2014 creation of Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA) and expansion of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). “The administration’s rescinding of DAPA and expanded DACA is deeply disappointing, but unfortunately not surprising. It is one more sign that the administration has no interest in finding a way to keep immigrant families together. “This administration is so single-mindedly focused on the absolute enforcement of immigration law that it has forgotten an important lesson of American history: the strict enforcement of a law is not always the same thing as justice. “What we need are immigration laws |
Rep. Roybal-Allard Statement at Hearing on ICE and CBP Budget Request Congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard (CA-40), the Ranking Democrat on the House Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee, delivered the following opening statement at today’s subcommittee hearing on the Fiscal Year 2018 Budget Request for U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The hearing’s witnesses were Thomas D. Homan, ICE Acting Director; John P. Wagner, CBP Office of Field Operations Deputy Executive Assistant Commissioner; and Carla L. Provost, Acting Chief of the U.S. Border Patrol. “Welcome Director Homan, Chief Provost, and Deputy Executive Assistant Commissioner Wagner. “When the secretary appeared before this subcommittee a few weeks ago, I noted that his job was among the most challenging in government. “Much of that challenge stems from the difficult missions of your agencies. One of your greatest challenges is enforcing our immigration laws while at the same time adhering to ou |
Rep. Roybal-Allard Statement on Wrong Choice Act to Roll Back Dodd-Frank Reforms Congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard (CA-40) issued the following statement about her vote today against the Financial CHOICE Act of 2017 (H.R. 10), also known as the “Wrong Choice Act”: “Today, I voted against the Wrong Choice Act, a bill to roll back crucial Dodd-Frank reforms to our financial system. It is clear that House Republicans are using this bill to give a handout to predatory Wall Street lenders while putting working families at greater financial risk. The bill would once again subject American families and the American economy to the risky banking practices that led to the Great Recession. “The Wrong Choice Act is truly dangerous for consumers. It endangers the financial stability of service members, seniors, and Americans saving for retirement. It dismantles the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and it removes shareholders’ rights to hold companies accountable for risky behavior. Are Republicans’ memories so short that th |
