On Thursday, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce came out in support of a piece of legislation called the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/dfw.cbslocal.com\/video\/5516241-sen-john-cornyn-2-texas-congressmen-introduce-bipartisan-bill-to-address-migrant-surge-at-southern-border\/\">Bipartisan Border Solutions Act<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The bicameral bill, introduced by Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.), aims at tackling the surge of migrants reaching the country\u2019s southern border. The legislation, also sponsored by Texas Rep. Henry Cuellar (D) and Texas Rep. Tony Gonzales (R), demands immediate action and requests enough resources and facilities to improve the asylum process and secure our border.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2402283\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2402283\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-2402283 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/fb_image-3474.jpeg\" alt=\"WASHINGTON, DC - MAY 14: Senate Aviation and Space Subcommittee ranking member Sen.

Cornyn stated.<\/p>\n<p>The two senators sent Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cornyn.senate.gov\/content\/news\/cornyn-sinema-ask-biden-address-border-crisis\">a letter<\/a> in late March, which urged him to use his full authority to respond to the crisis. Gonzalez added, border patrol is overwhelmed and the measure would allow agents to better secure the frontlines.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAdding four regional processing centers is critical to us solving this issue,\u201d Rep. Gonzalez noted. \u201cYou know, putting border patrol agents, taking border patrol agents out of the processing business, and putting them back in the national security business is what this bill gets at the heart of.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another provision in the bipartisan bill would improve the care of unaccompanied migrant children.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe visited many of these facilities and it\u2019s heartbreaking to see the sheer number of children that are having to go through here,\u201d Gonzalez said. \u201cWhat worries me is once they leave these facilities, what happens to them then?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chamber Chief Policy Officer Neil Bradley said the provisions are not only necessary to confront the ongoing border crisis, but \u201cthey also need to be considered by Congress as they debate other immigration issues where reform is desperately needed.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/ceo-of-cyber-ninja-former-ariz-secy-of-state-hold-press-conference-on-ballot-audit-in-phoenix\/\">CEO OF Cyber Ninja, Former Ariz.
