Senate Group Edges Closer to Proposal Aimed at Securing Southern Border

A group of bipartisan senators hopes to release its proposal to tighten U.S. border laws later this week, a top negotiator said, with any deal likely to face an uphill battle in the sharply divided Congress. 

“It does not get better by doing nothing. It gets better by doing something,” Sen. James Lankford (R., Okla.) said Sunday on Fox. “Congress has to pass something, and after decades of doing nothing on this, we’ve got to pass something to make this better.”
