Senators Kelly, Sinema tour El Paso border with bipartisan group
KGUN 9 news
A bipartisan group of senators from Arizona, Texas, and elsewhere are working together to tackle the crisis at the border.
They were in El Paso, Texas Monday at Bassett Middle School—which has actually been transformed into an emergency housing facility for migrants—to meet with local officials.
Arizona Senators Mark Kelly and Krysten Sinema were in attendance for the round table discussion.
"I've been able to visit Texas a number of times in recent years to see how broken the system is here, as it is in my home state of Arizona," Sinema said addressing a crowd at a news conference.
Senator Sinema has been on the forefront of tackling issues at the border, and told KGUN 9 about organizing the visit to the Southwest.
"I said I want to bring colleagues to the border especially those who don’t live near a border region so they can see first hand what's actually going on," Sinema said.
Working alongside Texas Senator John Cornyn, the roundtable was an opportunity to hear from officials who have been dealing with the migrant crisis first hand.
