MCALLEN (WBAP/KLIF) – U.S. Senator John Cornyn will tour the Texas-Mexico border in the Rio Grande Valley on Wednesday.
The Senator will be joined by Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ), U.S. Representatives Henry Cuellar (D-TX-28), and Tony Gonzales (R-TX-23) following their introduction of bipartisan, bicameral border legislation.
According to Cornyn, the Bipartisan Border Solutions Act responds to the surge in migrants coming across our southern border by improving both the Department of Homeland Security’s and the Department of Justice’s capacity to manage migration influxes and adjudicate asylum claims in a timely manner, protect unaccompanied migrant children, reduce impact on local communities, ensure migrants are treated fairly and humanely, and ultimately deter those who do not have realistic asylum claims from placing themselves in danger by making the treacherous journey to our southern border.
Senator Cornyn plans to tour the Border Patrol’s Donna Temporary Processing Center, the Department of Health and Human Services’ Delphi Emergency Intake Site, the McAllen-Hidalgo International Bridge, and meet with local elected officials, stakeholders and law enforcement officials.
Senators Cornyn and Sinema toured the Arizona-Mexico border region in Senator Sinema’s home state on Tuesday.
