Evening Edition: New Bill Seeks To Strengthen Migrant Vetting Process

Kayla Hamilton was just a 20-year-old Maryland women when she was
tied-up, sexually assaulted and strangled to death by 17-year-old
illegal migrant Walter Javier Martinez. Martinez was in the U.S.
claiming Unaccompanied Alien Child (UAC) status. A new bill, the
'Kayla Hamilton Act', introduced by Congressman Russell Fry (R-SC)
would create stronger restrictions on how HHS assess illegal
migrants who are minors by requiring HHS to contact the consulate
or embassy of a UAC’s home country to determine any criminal
history or gang affiliation. FOX's Ryan Schmelz speaks with
Congressman Russell Fry (R-SC), Representative for South Carolina’s
Seventh Congressional District, who tells us more about the 'Kayla
Hamilton Act' and how it strengthens our migrant vetting process.
