How young is too young for social media? New bill would set a limit <\/a><\/p>\nDalilah\u2019s story was spotlighted by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on X. The secretary even visited the Colemans at their southwest Bakersfield home last week.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe actually had a fruitful conversation. It was a meaningful conversation. It wasn\u2019t anything that was scripted,\u201d said Coleman. \u201cShe\u2019s going to put us in contact with some people there in D.C. We\u2019re going back this upcoming week.\u201d<\/p>\n
The family is set to meet a number of senators, congressmen and secretaries on next week\u2019s visit. The even got an official invitation to meet President Trump at the White House. The family has taken several trips to the nation\u2019s capital, but Marcus says he\u2019s advocating for a number of legislative measures.<\/p>\n
Mainly, an updated commercial driver license process.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat that will do is the only way you can get that is one becoming being a legal citizen. That\u2019s the only way you can get that. You would have to undergo a background check,\u201d said Coleman.<\/p>\n
Marcus hopes that people can look past the partisan nature of immigration and come to a consensus to help families like his.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen a vehicle accident happens, the truck doesn\u2019t care if you\u2019re a Republican or you\u2019re a Democra, or you\u2019re 18-years-old or you\u2019re nine-years-old\u2026it doesn\u2019t matter what side of the field you\u2019re playing on,\u201d said Marcus. \u201cIt\u2019s going to happen, has happened and is continuing to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n
