Arizona Democrat Sen. Kyrsten Sinema is teaming up with GOP Texas Sen. John Cornyn to introduce a bipartisan bill aimed at blunting the southern border crisis.
The bill would address the Biden administration’s ability to handle the surge of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border, attempt to streamline migrant asylum claims in a “timely” manner and deter those unlikely to be approved, and also “protect unaccompanied migrant children.”
Last month, the two senators wrote a joint letter to Biden, asking him to secure the border.
“It is critical that our nation take aggressive steps to secure our border, protect our communities and ensure migrants are treated fairly and humanely,” Cornyn and Sinema wrote.
“We pledge to work with our Congressional colleagues to develop bipartisan and commonsense responses to the surge of migrants at the border, and hope to collaborate with you, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, and the rest of your Administration to tackle this challenge,” they added in the letter.
