A day after President Joe Biden’s much-publicized, long-delayed visit to the U.S. Mexican border, a bipartisan Senate group made a less publicized visit that could ultimately have greater impact on easing the toxic immigration problem.
The group, headed by Sens. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Kyrsten Sinema, I-Ariz., included several lawmakers who helped to pass last year’s bipartisan legislative successes like the infrastructure, CHIPS and gun safety bills.
Their approach provided a welcome contrast with the politics surrounding Biden’s announcement last week of new border measures and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s denunciation of Sunday’s visit as a “stage-managed” photo-op.
