WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate's border proposal was one of the toughest bipartisan bills to emerge on the issue in decades.
Republicans have campaigned on border security for years, and public frustration is running high with the record number of illegal U.S. border crossings.
Cruz’s likely Democratic opponent, Texas Rep. Collin Allred, said he’s already talking about the border deal on the campaign trail.
Murphy agreed that Democrats should remain committed to broad immigration reforms, including pathways to citizenship for migrants who are already here.
But he argued that may only be possible once Democrats first show voters they are serious about tough border enforcement.
