Congresswoman suggests redirecting Central American aid to Detroit

Miller, vice chairwoman of the House Homeland Security Committee and head of subcommittee on Border and Maritime Security, wrote a letter to President Barack Obama accusing Central American nations of "doing little to nothing to stop the illegal smuggling of children" into the U.S.
