Holding parents accountable for the children they bring into this world is a basic principle of a functioning society. When someone racks up tens of thousands in unpaid child support, they are not just failing their kids—they are shifting the burden onto taxpayers and the responsible parent who is left to pick up the pieces.Revoking passports from those who owe $50,000 or more sends a clear message: you cannot run from your obligations by hopping on a plane. This is long-overdue enforcement of existing law that prioritizes the welfare of American children over the convenience of deadbeat parents.The threshold should indeed be lower. Every dollar owed belongs to a child who needs food, clothing, and stability. Strong families and personal responsibility are the foundation of a strong nation—there is no excuse for walking away from that duty.
